From master comedian Mark Schiff, a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld, comes a hilarious account of decades of foolery with comedy and acting legends and how he honed his mensch skills in all of life's arenas. 
 
 
 
Pursuing a career in comedy has always taken a lot of chutzpah. Today Mark Schiff looks back at his fifty-year career as a stand-up comic, actor, and writer and knows he's laughed with the best of them. His comedy and character have been widely praised by everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Bill Maher, Paul Reiser, and Colin Quinn—as Seinfeld writes in his foreword, Mark is "the greatest comedy pal a guy could ever wish for"—but it hasn't always been easy. 
 
 
 
In this brilliantly honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, Mark recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City and shares how he survived a harrowing childhood and managed health crises, aging, marriage, parenting, and career highs and lows. With wit and wisdom, Mark reminds us that no matter the troubles at-hand, the show must always go on. The result is an unforgettable and highly relatable account from one of the best humor writers of our time that will leave listeners of all faiths energized and feeling like they've schmoozed with the best of them.

ABOUT THE FILM 
Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 war film directed by Steven Spielberg, set during World War II. The story follows Captain John Miller and a small group of U.S. Army Rangers as they are tasked with finding and bringing home Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have been killed in action. The film is renowned for its realistic portrayal of the brutalities of war, particularly in its graphic depiction of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. It explores themes of sacrifice, camaraderie, and the emotional toll of war, focusing on the personal stories of soldiers amidst the chaos of battle. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“In 2006, Tom Hanks was inducted into the U.S. Army's Ranger Hall of Fame as an honorary member, largely due to his portrayal of Captain John Miller.” 
  
“Steven Spielberg stated that even if the film had been given an NC-17 rating, he would have released it uncut.” 
  
“Cinemas were instructed to increase the volume when showing the film, as the sound effects played a crucial role in the overall impact.” 
  
“In the German-dubbed version, a German veteran of the Normandy invasion had to be replaced because the film's emotional realism was too intense for him.” 
  
“Saving Private Ryan was the last film edited using a non-digital editing system to win an Academy Award for editing.”
