Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A senior correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Toronto-born comedian pokes fun at herself in a witty collection of personal essays. Recalling her upbringing, she lightheartedly and hysterically skewers her parents, stepparents, grandparents, and even the nuns who taught her math, half of whom "looked and smelled like the rejection of life itself." Bee's stepmother took camping "very seriously," and preparing for a trip was "like preparing for the End of Days;" her father, claiming to be thinking up strategies for better fuel efficiency, was really "just reading Penthouse on the toilet." Regarding the nuns at her Catholic school, Bee doesn't hold back: "You could see that they had all their lady parts, but you just knew that once a month they menstruated dust." Bee takes readers from childhood to adolescence and beyond, reminiscing along the way about her first boyfriend, comparing their sexual chemistry to that of a "sea cucumber that sits motionless on the cold, dark ocean floor and dreams of dry-humping a nearby scallop." Bee successfully brings her witty, self-deprecating, slightly cynical, and semi-scathing world view from screen to page.

    I am a huge fan of the daily show and I love female comedian memoirs, so this was a natural choice for me. I had not given too much thought to Samantha Bee or her off air personality. But I have to say, this was an exceptional book. Funny from start to finish. I read it three times before I let it go to my friends. I plan to get it back though because this is a book I plan to keep around a while. High points include The Chapter where her cat mates with her head, the story of the Sailor Moon rip off show. Her "rock and roll" camping trips. Well, it's all good. Buy it and find our yourself because I want a few more books from this gal.
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2010
    Samantha Bee is my favorite of The Daily Show correspondents. I can't imagine anyone else being able to do the segment on NILF, highlighting all the sexy female news correspondents, especially of the Fox News persuasion. This is her first book, and it consists of autobiographical vignettes, mostly from her decidedly different childhood. Her three parents (father, mother, and step-mother) and two of her grandmothers come alive in these pages as quirky, occasionally clueless, and always loving. Most of the stories are from her middle childhood, from age eight to fifteen, and, from her narrative, she seems grateful to have survived it all.

    However, this book is NOT an autobiography. The reader will find only hints of her career trajectory and of her relationship with her husband Jason Jones (save for a hilarious adventure at a dude ranch!). We learn only the tiniest bit about her own children, and I found myself wanting to know more about the genesis of her hilarious Daily Show persona and whether it differs at all from her off-camera persona. We can hope that this book is successful enough to engender sequels.

    I wanted to read this book because I love the Daily Show and I think Samantha Bee is hilarious. So when I saw that she had published an autobiography, I said heck yes to some light reading on a five-hour flight.

    This book really wasn't all I thought it would be. There really is nothing about the Daily Show except for a short acknowledgment at the end, and much of the book is about how dysfunctional her parents and family are. I was surprised and maybe even a little disappointed in learning about her teenage crime spree. Parts of the book were quite funny, but most just seemed like a "you had to be there to get it" thing.

    So... I still like Samantha Bee and will still enjoy watching her segments on The Daily Show, but not really thrilled with this book.

    This is the funniest book I have ever read, I like it so much that I didn't banish it to my Kindle archives when I finished it the way I have every other book I've read, but kept it around to read bookmarked passages from time to time. I loved hearing about Samantha's life and, although I don't understand why she married Jason Jones (my least favorite correspondent on "The Daily Show"). okay, I can deal with that. The book is full of strange and fun memories and Sam's own unique view of life. I recommend it and her website ("Eating Over the Sink") very highly.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2012
    At the same time painful and engrossing, Sam B paints a traumatic childhood of (for?) herself that will have you tampering your laughs with winces. While, I can only hope, she has overstated some terrible situations in her life, it makes some darn good comedy that made a few people wonder why I was chuckling to myself. If your sense of humor isn't dark enough that you wouldn't laugh at a story about being sexually assaulted by a cat or trying to commit suicide with pine sol and laxatives, then this book is not for you.

    I LOVE this book, and Samantha Bee! She is hilarious and intriguing. Her writing feels more like you're listening to your best friend tell you the most facinating story that you've ever heard. Did I mention she's hilarious? I had to get out of bed to read in the living room because I was keeping my boyfriend up with all the stifled laughs that shook the bed so hard that even my dog gave me the stink eye.

    Funny stories, but just not as entertaining as I expected. I'm glad I read it, but it is not one I would read again. My recommendation is to borrow from a friend, or the library.

    Samantha Bee's book is as funny, if not funnier than her role as a Corespondent on "The Daily Show". A funny, self-aware and self-deprecating look at her own life with tons of laugh out loud moments.

    This is a great quick, light and funny read good for any fan of "The daily Show" and "The Colbert Report".
