CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY: IN THEIR OWN WORDS
TO BE FEATURED ON ABC’S “THE VIEW”
MONDAY, DECEMBER 22

Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words, the critically-acclaimed, sell-out show called “big-yuks entertainment” by Charles Isherwood of The New York Times, will be featured on ABC’s “The View” on Monday, December 22, at 11am on the ABC television network. Kristen Johnston, who appears regularly in Celebrity Autobiography, makes a guest appearance on the show, and is joined by “View” co-hosts Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd, reading excerpts from the hit comedy sensation. Ms. Shepherd appears regularly in Celebrity Autobiography and Ms. Behar has made a number of appearances in the show as well.

Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words features a line-up of rotating performers who interpret the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous, in both solo and ensemble “chamber” pieces. Some of the “authors” that are featured include Ivana Trump, Vanna White, Mr. T, Star Jones, Kenny Loggins, Tommy Lee, Sylvester Stallone, 'N Sync, Zsa Zsa Gabor, David Cassidy, Neil Sedaka, Britney Spears, Madonna, Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson, as well as the infamous memoirs of Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher, and Debbie Reynolds, which are edited together to create a Rashomon-esque playlet in the participants’ own words.

Celebrity Autobiography is playing to sell-out audiences and rave reviews. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called the show a “merry compendium of the witlessness and wisdom of the rich and famous.” Joe Dziemianowicz of the Daily News called it a “potent comic cocktail…you weep with laughter.” The New Yorker called it “inspired.” And Sam Thielman of Variety wrote, “Audience members hyperventilate. It should lead a long and happy life.”

The line-up of rotating performers includes Joy Behar, Bob Balaban, Matthew Broderick, Keith Carradine, Rachel Dratch, Susie Essman, Will Forte, Jackie Hoffman, Cheyenne Jackson, Kristen Johnston, Richard Kind, Carson Kressley, Justin Long, Andrea Martin, Dayle Reyfel, Tony Roberts, Seth Rudetsky, Paul Rudd, Claudia Shear, Sherri Shepherd, Michael Urie, Bruce Vilanch, Kristen Wiig, BD Wong, Karen Ziemba, Alan Zweibel, and creator Eugene Pack.
