YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE FUNNY

Some would say it's impossible to find a warm-hearted, genuine, funny person in what the author calls "phony-baloney Hollywood," but at least one exists--author and reader Rosenthal. With his thick Bronx accent fully intact, Rosenthal regales listeners with his beginnings in a family full of absurd characters and situations, his teenaged mishaps and misfires, and his ascendancy as producer/writer of the popular sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond." Something of a manual of television writing, casting, directing, and producing, along with a jokey tell-all, YOU'RE LUCKY is a self-deprecating laugh-fest delivered by someone who was determined to create warmth and camaraderie in a notoriously cold business.
