Resumen del Editor

A New York Times bestseller

A candid, compulsively readable, hilarious, and heartbreaking memoir of resilience and redemption by comedic genius Molly Shannon

At age four, Molly Shannon’s world was shattered when she lost her mother, baby sister, and cousin in a car accident with her father at the wheel. Held together by her tender and complicated relationship with her grieving father, Molly was raised in a permissive household where her gift for improvising and role-playing blossomed alongside the fearlessness that would lead her to become a celebrated actress.

From there, Molly ventured into the wider world of New York and Los Angeles show business, where she created her own opportunities and developed her daring and empathetic comedy. 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. At the same time, it explores with humor and candor her struggle to come to terms with the legacy of her father, a man who both fostered her gifts and drive and was left with the impossible task of raising his kids alone after the loss of her mother.

Witty, winning, and told with tremendous energy and heart, Hello, Molly!, written with Sean Wilsey, sheds new and revelatory light on the life and work of one of our most talented and free-spirited performers.

Thank you for writing this book. I cried, I laughed, I learned life lessons… I know I will re-listen to this book many more times!!!

Amazing story and story teller

5* absolutely loved this !! Molly Shannon was an incredible narrator to her own story! It was perfect!

Is it possible to binge a book?

Well, I did…thank you Molly for sharing your life!! I loved it! I hope you write another! I currently live in Shaker and my son went to St.Doms and Hawken, so in my mind we are best friends thrice removed! Thank you for singing and making us all laugh! SUPERSTAR!

Laughter is the best medicine!

I loved this book. I laughed and cried and loved every minute of it.

Fantastic and moving

I loved every second of this book. It was deeply moving and one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to.

Touching and hilarious

Much like the characters and roles Shannon inhabits, this book is so much deeper than surface level. A spectacular achievement and one I won't forget.

So heartfelt, honest and full of love

Most inspiring

The love that Molly Shannon reads makes me feel like I love these people and it makes me want to love like Molly.

AMAIZING! WHAT AN AWESOME PERSON!

I'll be reading this many many more times! I had no idea what a wonderful person Molly Shannon is, inspite of the difficulties life brought to her.

Emotional journey

I really liked this book and listened to it in every spare moment I had. It was funny, interesting, sad and entertaining all wrapped up into a summary of life. It’s life. It’s honest and her narration was spectacular.

This felt like an experience more than a book

ohhh I didn't want this one to end! Molly Shannon, you rocked my world with this. I feel like anyone who reads the physical copy will miss out on so much if they don't hear Molly narrate this wonderful memoir.

I did not expect to get so emotional listening to this book. I felt like Molly was right in the room talking to me. Fabulous story, relatable writing, and refreshing narration.

Another thing I didn't expect- I found that as I was listening, I began to get this sense of permission to be more myself. I could relate to so many parts of who Molly is as a person, a friend, a daughter, and much more. This book actually validated and healed some things inside of me. Yeah, didn't see that coming!

Molly Shannon, if you ever happen to read this review... from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
