Good read submitted by sheryl205 on June 17, 2015, 1:22pm Martin Short has had an interesting career, and he's really honest about the good and bad and how own anxiety. Seems like a great guy, touching about his wife.

I Must Say submitted by tbbrown76 on June 23, 2018, 5:16pm I laughed. I cried. Sometimes both at once. If you read only one autobiography I recommend this one. I give it six stars out of five.

A surprise treat submitted by A2AE on June 30, 2022, 11:20am Listened to the audio book after hearing a rec for it, and it's a delight! It's of course funny but also touching, especially when he reflects on moving forward in happiness after losing his mom at a young age and then Nan, the love of his life.
