{"product_id":"sitcom-a-memoir","title":"Sitcom: A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eA memoir from Chuck Lorre--one of the most prolific television writers and showrunners in TV history (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Mom, The Kominsky Method, Young Sheldon), on his life, career, and the deal with all those vanity cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEver wonder what it’s like to spend decades making millions of strangers laugh — while trying not to lose your mind in the process?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the creator of The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Young Sheldon, Bookie, Dharma \u0026amp; Greg, Mom, and more, Lorre has racked up almost two thousand half-hours of comedy. But his own story is just as outrageous, awkward, and surprisingly touching as the shows he built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this memoir on his life and career in comedy, Lorre trades punchlines for real talk: the messy, very human truth behind Hollywood’s glossy façade, addiction, his own and that of his famous colleagues, his failed marriages, disastrous life choices, and chronic illness--all of which somehow became the ingredients for comedy. One chapter may leave you doubled over, the next might sneak in a lump in your throat — but that’s Chuck. That’s sitcoms. That’s also real life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve ever binged The Big Bang Theory, argued over your favorite Two and a Half Men character, or wondered how TV comedy gets made, this is your all-access pass. Spoiler: it involves failure, low-self-esteem, and an unshakable love for laughter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53777383129395,"sku":"9780063569867","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/1108\/1267\/files\/9780063569867.jpg?v=1785548965","url":"https:\/\/slantoflightbooks.com\/products\/sitcom-a-memoir","provider":"Slant of Light Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
