This was one of my books and it was odd that I found this after listening to his podcasts, MOHR STORIES.
In a long interview with Marc Maron I learned that Mohr's life basically turns on an incident in which he knowingly stole a sketch from a fellow comedian. He mentions it in the book and it involved his stint on Saturday Night Live when he ran out of ideas for sketches that he was writing. He doesn't make a big deal of it in the book, but it affected him very dramatically.
The book is well written and the most revealing aspect is his description of Panic Attacks. He makes the experience crystal clear.
Jay Mohr is a man with a big chip on his shoulder, but after reading the book anyone can understand the reasons why.
His idol is Chris Farley, but I really can't get into his comedy.
