I don’t know how many of you have seen Charles Grodin’s great comedic roles in The Heartbreak Kid or Midnight Run, but his performances are laugh-out-loud funny. What you may not know, is that he’s also a really great person who has spent much of the last 20 years giving back to those who need help–from the homeless (he is a major fundraiser for Help USA) to those who are suffering extremely long imprisonments under the felony murder rule.
We are so proud to have published HOW I GOT TO BE WHOEVER IT IS I AM, Chuck’s recent memoir that recounts the “teaching moments” in his life from his days in Hebrew School to his days as a talk show host. His stories are funny and revelatory. I am lucky enough to know Chuck; I’d like to introduce him to you through his book.
Charles Grodin is busy promoting If I Only Knew Then… this week, starting with a riotous two-segment appearance on FoxNews Hannity & Colmes last night. In case you missed it, see below for an entertaining highlight.
Tonight, Charles will be featured in a packed-house event at the 92nd Street Y in New York called “Conversation with Dr. Gail Saltz” starting at 8:15pm. Click here for more info.
Also - don’t miss Mr. Grodin catch up with his old friend Regis Philbin on LIVE with Regis and Kelly this Friday, December 21st. He will be the lead guest and discussing If I Only Knew Then…. Check your local listings for times in your area.
