Mix 1 oz. Chelsea Handler, 1.5 oz. Nora Ephron, finish with a twist of Tina Fey, and you get Ali in Wonderland, the uproarious, revealing, and heartfelt memoir from acclaimed actress and comedian Ali Wentworth. Whether spilling secrets about her quintessentially WASPy upbringing (and her delicious rebellion against it), reminiscing about her Seinfeld Schmoopie days and her appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, or baring the details of starting a family alongside husband George Stephanopoulos, one thing is for sure--Ali has the unsurpassable humor and warmth of a born storyteller with a story to tell: the quirky, flavorful, surprising, and sometimes scandalous Ali in Wonderland.
Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth. --Alec Baldwin
What happens when a daughter of Washington D.C.'s elite decides she'd rather be a comedian?
- Humorous Essays: On her quintessentially WASPy upbringing, her delicious rebellion against it, and why her mother, Muffie, once told her, 'Nobody goes to the Bahamas in July!'
- Comedian Memoir: Spilling secrets from her early days in Hollywood, including her iconic role as Schmoopie on Seinfeld and what it was really like behind the scenes at The Oprah Winfrey Show.
- Relatable Humor: Baring the hilarious, heartfelt, and sometimes mortifying details of starting a family with husband George Stephanopoulos.
