A raw yet humorous memoir detailing the troubled life and mind of an American comic icon, as seen in Netflix's Cracked Up: The Darrell Hammond Story.
From his harrowing childhood filled with physical and emotional abuse, to a lifetime of alcoholism and self-mutilation, psychiatric hospitalizations and misdiagnoses, to the peak of fame and success as the longest-tenured cast member of Saturday Night Live (where his hilarious dead-on impressions of Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Chris Matthews, and a hundred other prominent figures ushered him to the peak of stardom), Darrell Hammond delves into the darkest corners of his life, both in front of and behind the camera, with brutal honesty and fierce comic wit.

      Starred review from October 3, 2011
      Comedian and former Saturday Night Live regular Hammond gained fame in the 90s for his impersonation of Bill Clinton, among others. Although it includes the expected visit to rehab, Hammond's moving memoir contains surprising detours, such as his revelations about cutting himself. The book starts off with a bang: on the first page, Hammond is in rehab after getting drunk and trying to cut his arm off with a kitchen knife. Hammond's breezy style and facile storytelling will keep readers entertained even while reading about his struggle with alcoholism, including the time he attended Clinton's second inauguration, confronted an in-room display of Grand Marnier, and ended up on the floor of the National Airport still in his tuxedo. Hammond's depiction of his Florida childhood shows how the abuse dealt by his parents, especially his mother, resulted in a life of dysfunction, yet also gave him his professionâhe learned to do voices as protection from his mother. This funny man's serious life can be an inspiration to all.

      Hammond lasted longer than any Saturday Night Live cast member, and here he does go behind the SNL scenes. But he focuses on personal trauma, revealing childhood abuse that led to alcoholism, self-mutilation, and psychiatric hospitalizations until he finally achieved sobriety and a measure of peace. Apparently, he can be bitingly funny about this. With a 75,000-copy first printing; the multiple angles here will attract readers.
