So shocking that Chris Elliott nearly sued himself to halt publication!

Because no one will write an unauthorized biography about Emmy-winning writer and actor Chris Elliott, he has done it himself, reader, you're hereby warned that much of this book will be disturbing. Few have seen Elliott's dark side- a ghastly childhood spent on Manhattan's upper east side; his first job, entertaining mobsters with his Judy Garland impersonation; and countless episodes from a life spent faking his way to semi-moderate fame and fortune. But seriously, Elliott is a brilliantly comic bestselling writer, and his blend of fictional fun and real-life anecdotes - from his start on late night with David Letterman to cabin boy and beyond - is bound to delight and entertain.

'Reads like a Woody Allen essay from The New Yorker . . . Wildly weird and hugely entertaining.' Booklist

'Unique and inspiring . . . Elliott} Blazed a trail for Arrested Development and Community and all the other freaky, convention-flouting TV comedies.' Grantland

Industry Reviews

"This hugely entertaining pack of lies reads like a Woody Allen essay from the New Yorker, but, buried among the silliness, there is a nugget or two of legitimate autobiography. Wildly weird and hugely entertaining." -- David Pitt, Booklist

"The arc of [Elliott's] career remains unique and inspiring. That he made things worth memorizing and fashioning one's young identity around. That there is integrity to the path of most resistance, that he blazed a trail for Arrested Development and Community and all the other freaky, convention-flouting TV comedies."--Grantland
"Everything that makes Elliott great, and everything that makes him so baffling to the Gods of Comedy, is on full display in The Guy Under the Sheets...a memoir that is wonderfully untrustworthy, and wildly entertaining....hilarious."
--Christopher Schobert, Buffalo News
