#1 I was on TV and in movies, but it seems that most of my followers discovered me through Instagram.

#2 Max is the gayest straight man I know. He does not like reading, so I have to read for him. He is married to Tess Sanchez, who used to be the head of casting for Fox TV. He brought my name up when he was casting a new series.

#3 I am a comedian, and I have a one-man show. But I got my start on The View, as I was a favorite of many of the hosts, particularly Whoopi Goldberg, who was a huge fan of my internet series.

#4 You are probably reading this book because you want to be a comedian, and you think you’re funny. Because your funny, you can get away with anything. Be nice to everyone. When I was a fresh-faced kid, I saw two comics at an open mic night at the Laugh Factory. One was a really lovely lady named Phyllis Diller. She was so kind to me, and I will never forget it. The other comic was a loudmouthed nightmare of a human being named Don Rickles. He was a bully, and he made fun of my parents, calling them stupid names. I was in the front row, and he pointed at me and said That one’s gonna be a comedian, too! I was devastated. I have always been sensitive about this stuff, and for years after that, no one would ask me to do anything because I would burst into tears at the drop of a hat. I haven’t done stand-up in years because no one has asked me to do anything stand-up-y in ages. For all these reasons, I am thrilled that you found your way to this book.

I had five and a half million followers on Instagram, which I gained through the short-lived but wonderful series The Cool Kids on Fox TV. I had been hired for the show after winning an Emmy Award for my portrayal of Beverley Leslie in the original series Will Grace.

#2

Max is the gayest straight man I know. He embodies the best of both worlds and is a spectacular human being. He brought my name up when he was casting a new series with his wife, Tess Sanchez.

#3

I was born to perform. I had spent my life impersonating female comedians, and I was thrilled when I met Phyllis Diller, who was one of my childhood heroes. I have remained friends with all three women
