If things fall into place for him, you could be watching up to three TV programs put together with his involvement. more ›

Comedian, radio host and television writer Greg Fitzsimmons has written a memoir. We've had many chances to enjoy the talents of Fitzsimmons over the past 20 years, whether it was his standup, his writing for "The Man Show," "Lucky Louie," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," his radio show on Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio (on Howard 101) or his bi-weekly podcasts, he's now provided a tremendous amount of insight on how he came to be a comedian and the perseverance, against many odds, to be successful at it. more ›

The drive to Saturday's show at the Gibson Amphitheater will, fortunately, be a much shorter one for the former writer/producer of The Ellen Degeneres Show.
