Candid, outspoken, laugh-out-loud funny essays from the
much-loved Samantha Bee, the Most Senior Correspondent on
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart .Critics have called her
"sweet, adorable, and vicious." But there is so much more to
be said about Samantha Bee. For one, she's Canadian.
Whatever that means. And now, she opens up for the very
first time about her checkered Canadian past. With charming
candor, she admits to her Lennie fromOf Mice and Menstyle
love of baby animals, her teenage crime spree as one-half of
a car-thieving couple (Bonnie and Clyde in Bermuda shorts
and braces), and the fact that strangers seem compelled to
show her their genitals. She also details her intriguing
career history, which includes stints working in a frame
store, at a penis clinic, and as a Japanese anime character
in a touring children's show.Samantha delves into all these
topics and many more in this thoroughly hilarious,
unabashedly frank collection of personal essays. Whether
detailing the creepiness that ensues when strangers assume
that your mom is your lesbian lover, or recalling her
girlhood crush on Jesus (who looked like Kris Kristofferson
and sang like Kenny Loggins), Samantha turns the spotlight
on her own imperfect yet highly entertaining life as
relentlessly as she skewers hapless interview subjects onThe
Daily Show. She shares her unique point of view on a variety
of subjects as wide ranging as her deep affinity for old
people, to her hatred of hot ham. It's all here, in
irresistible prose that will leave you in stitches and eager
for more.
