Publisher's Note
First time in paperback -- the combination memoir and show-business primer from one of Hollywood's most successful writer-producer-director-actors (Pretty Woman, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Murphy Brown), published to coincide with his newest film Dear God, a Paramount holiday release. "It's fresh, lively, and croaking with odd charm (with) a striking honesty that instantly grabs and amuses...a screenwriting handbook for the long haul", reviewed The Hollywood Reporter about this candid, funny, and fact-filled guide on the way show business really works. In feature films, Marshall's credits include directing Julia Roberts and Richard Gore in the $450 million hit Pretty Woman, Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer in Frankie and Johnny, and Bette Midler in Beaches. For TV, he created and produced Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Mork &Mindy, discovering sister Penny Marshall as well as Robin Williams, among many others. As an actor, he has appeared in Murphy Brown, Lost in America, and Soapdish. An illuminating road map for those looking to break into Hollywood, as well as a survival guide for those hoping to stay there, Wake Me When It's Funny gives sound advice on how to create comedy, break into television, shoot movies, and deal with the people who have the power to hire in Hollywood.

Industry reviews
Marshall was king of TV sitcoms in the 1970s with Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy and The Odd Couple, then turned to film, directing Pretty Woman and Beaches. He claims he has not been hurt by critics who blasted him for targeting society's lowest common denominator; rather, he glories in that assessment, for his aim was to be ``the Norman Rockwell of television.'' This autobiography, written with his daughter, shows how he reached his goal. The book is a sort of how-to guide, for he explains the processes of writing, directing and producing TV comedy and directing movies in a way that should prove helpful for anyone aspiring to break into either medium. He takes readers from his youth in the Bronx to freelancing for famous comics and thence to Hollywood, with entertaining anecdotes about showbiz types from Danny Thomas to Robin Williams. Photos.
