Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first time I ever saw Will Ferrell was in a sketch with Roy where they played a barbershop-type a cappella duo singing to passersby in the Main Street section of Disneyland. #2 I had come up with the idea of doing a sketch about Johnny Carson, but instead of parody, we would do a straight impression of The Tonight Show. I would be the missing link between man and monkey, and I would hump Roy’s face while I sucked-slapped Will’s. #3 I had to stay constantly in shape to perform Mr. Peepers for a year and a half at the same high-energy level the character demanded. I had to practice how to eat an apple in as many bites as possible in a matter of seconds, without biting my lip off. #4 I was a full-fledged regular cast member on SNL in 1996. My seventh show was the first of the 1996–97 season, and I was sharing a seventeenth-floor office with Colin Quinn. Colin was just a writer at the time, and he didn’t have that comedian thing of being always on.

Baby, Don't Hurt Me
Author: Chris Kattan
Publisher: BenBella Books
ISBN: 1944648763
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
You may know him as Mango, Mr. Peepers, the gibberish-spouting Suel Forrester, or one half of the head-bopping brothers in A Night at the Roxbury. Maybe you remember him as the forlorn gothic kid Azrael Abyss, Gay Hitler, or the guitarist in the "More Cowbell" sketch. Whichever it is, Chris Kattan has earned a spot in the hearts of a generation of comedy fans. Chris Kattan has defied comparison, expectations, and sometimes gravity with his inimitable style of physical comedy. By creating some of the most memorable Saturday Night Live characters, as well as his many roles in film and television, Kattan has remained one of the most fearless and versatile comedians in the world. Not long after Chris was labeled one of the improv group Groundlings' "must-see" performers in the company, he was cast on SNL—and within the first six weeks, Chris's film career also took off. Now, for the first time, Kattan opens up about eight seasons on SNL, performing alongside friends and future legends including Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, and Tina Fey, and guest hosts from Charlize Theron to Tom Hanks to David Bowie. He also shares stories of his unusual childhood (involving a secluded mountain with zen monks) with Leonard Cohen and Alan Watts. Baby, Don't Hurt Me offers an unprecedented look into Chris's life, from his fascinating relationship with Lorne Michaels, a private Valentine's Day dinner with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, an unforgettable flight with Beyoncé, and even breaking his neck on live television. Baby, Don't Hurt Me is a candid, revealing memoir from a timeless comedian and a window into the world of millennium-era SNL, from the rehearsals to the after-after parties, as narrated by your hilarious and inspiring friend—who just so happened to be there for all of it.

Her father converts to Christianity, and he suddenly disappears without a trace. When a stranger hands Cheyenne a coded message that sends her on a collision course with a clandestine group of believers, she must put her life in the hands of those following a man known only as the Reckoner. He claims he wants to bring back true faith in Christ to America and also reveal the forces behind the disappearances of the many renowned people who publicly declared their Christian faith. Operating in the shadows and living off the grid, this mysterious prophet assembles a ragtag team--including a former bookseller whose store was shut down for selling prohibited books--to help him take the battle for transparency to the top.
