An American comic icon tells the story of his second-act rise from obscurity to multimedia stardom.

When I was a kid, writes Rodney Dangerfield, I worked tough places in show business--places like Fonzo's Knuckle Room. Or Aldo's, formerly Vito's, formerly Nunzio's. That was a tough joint. I looked at the menu. They had broken leg of lamb. For once, one of America's most beloved comic icons isn't kidding. Dangerfield has seen every aspect of the entertainment industry: the rough-and-tumble nightclubs, the backstage gag-writing sessions, the drugs, the hookers, the lousy day jobs - and the red-carpet star treatment. As he traces his route from a poor childhood on Long Island to his enshrinement as a comedy legend, he takes readers on a roller-coaster ride through a life that has been alternately touching, sordid, funny, raunchy, and uplifting - equal parts Little Orphan Annie and Caligula. And unlike most celebrity autobiographers, he seems to have no qualms about delivering the unfiltered whole story, warts and all.
