Comedic genius Molly Shannon's honest, addictively readable, humorous, and poignant narrative of perseverance and redemption
Molly Shannon's life fell apart when, at the age of four, she was involved in a vehicle accident with her father driving and lost her mother, infant sister, and cousin. Molly was nurtured in a permissive home where her talent for improvisation and role-playing flourished with the fearlessness that would drive her to become a great actor. Her fragile and complex connection with her heartbroken father kept her family together.
After that, Molly entered the larger entertainment industries in New York and Los Angeles, where she made her own chances and honed her fearless and sympathetic humor. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories involving everyone from Whitney Houston to Adam Sandler to Monica Lewinsky, many told for the first time here, Hello, Molly! spans Molly's time on Saturday Night Live—where she starred alongside Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Cheri Oteri, Tracy Morgan, and Jimmy Fallon, among many others. Simultaneously, it deftly and candidly examines her battle to accept her father's legacy—a man who encouraged her ambitions and abilities but also being left to raise his children by himself when her mother passed away.
Hello, Molly!, co-written with Sean Wilsey, is witty, captivating, and recounted with great passion and energy. It offers fresh insights into the life and career of one of our most gifted and adventurous performers.
