Year Book by Seth Rogan

There is an essay in Seth Rogan’s new book “Year Book” that is literally one of the best stories I have ever heard. He goes to the Los Angeles Airport, hung over, and opts to eat a deftly named “Angry Whopper” from Burger King before boarding his flight. What happens next can only be described as a hilarious romp inside the life of Seth Rogan. I was listening to the book on audio in my car, and when I came to this essay, I had to pull my car over because I was laughing so hard. I just looked at my steering wheel in a fit of giggles and said, “This guy is funny.” I loved his memoir because it not only gave me insight into him, but also into the people he encounters through the course of his life as a comedian, writer and actor. Whether it is an odd encounter with Tom Cruise, a baffling conversation with George Lucas, or an evening spent with the eccentric Steve Wozniak, Rogan is a master storyteller. He demonstrates how witty and observant he is, while still very much the teenager he once was, growing up in Canada, buying small bags of weed. Although he is a grownup now, and even has a lovely wife by his side, you can still feel his youthful presence in every sentence along with his infectious laugh.  As a teenager performing in a comedy club, he once got bumped and had to follow Jerry Steinfeld. A bad luck move like that might have deterred a less experienced performer, but in the talented hands of Rogan, even a set-back can be turned into an ironic and hilarious win.
