Guy Under the Sheets

This hugely entertaining pack of lies reads like a Woody Allen essay from the <i>New Yorker.</i>--<b>David Pitt <i>Booklist</i></b> <p/> Is Chris Elliott a highly successful and beloved comedian--or a slightly dim-witted notalent from a celebrity family who managed to convince a generation of disillusioned youth that he was funny? From a ghastly childhood on the posh Upper East Side to his first job entertaining mobsters with his Judy Garland impersonation <i>The Guy Under the Sheets</i> is packed with countless episodes from the life of a mediocre artist who somehow faked his way to the top--of semi-moderate fame and fortune. Woven throughout the fictional fun in Elliott's memoir are wonderful real-life anecdotes that will delight many new readers and loyal fans alike. <p/>The arc of [Elliott's] career remains unique and inspiring . . . that he blazed a trail for<i> Arrested Development </i>and <i>Community </i>and all the other freaky convention-flouting TV comedies.--<i><b>Grantland</b></i>
