商品の説明

内容説明

The host of The Tonight Show, whose comedy has won him the #1 spot in his time slot and an Emmy, here shares his funniest stories. For all those who tune in for Jay Leno's trademark monologue, his entertaining skits, and his warm and funny banter with celebrities, Leading with My Chin offers hours of hilarious reading.

Amazon.com

So what do you expect from a celebrity autobiography? Tales of an impoverished childhood and an unappreciated early career? Angst-ridden revelation? In Jay Leno's take on the genre, tales have only one purpose--laughs. This is a book of jokey anecdotes and humorous stories marking the comedian's progress to the top. The persona of the young Leno is not so different and just as likable as the one appearing nightly on television. Whether it is his mother's advice, his teachers' complaints, or the awkward situations he finds himself in (for example, standing before an Orthodox Jewish audience who have been mistakenly led to expect a Yiddish storyteller) Leno always sees the funny side.

最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー
形式:ペーパーバック
アメリカの超人気番組「Tonight」の司会者の自伝。愉快なキャラクターそのものの人生と両親はじめ親戚・友人達の面白い話が満載。英語は簡単なのでスムーズに読み進め、初級者でも十分理解できる。愉快な話の中にもキラッと光る硬派な性格がかいま見られるのが面白い。また両親の愛、著者の両親への愛が特に感動する。いずれもテレビの画面からは想像もできない真面目さと真摯さが興味深い。著者はその昔TIMEの表紙を飾ったのを覚えておられる方、その記事を覚えておられる方は特に面白く読めるだろう。

Funny, enjoyable, exactly what you would expect from Leno 2008/4/6
By TW - (Amazon.com)
形式:マスマーケット
Comedy is difficult to rate because personal taste accounts for a large degree of one's perception of the material. I have always been a fan of Jay Leno and appreciate his sense of humor, hence Leading With my Chin was very enjoyable. It falls right in line with the sense of humor you anticipate from watching the Tonight Show or any of his stand-up routines; however it is not merely a series of jokes as Leno presents an account of his life growing up in Massachusetts. If you appreciate Leno's wit and have interest in discovering the life that helped developed his sense of humor, you will enjoy this book.

What a guy!!!! 1997/8/7
By カスタマー - (Amazon.com)
形式:ハードカバー
I may only be a sophomore in college, but I have loved Jay Leno for years now. :o) I read his book and when I finished it I wanted to cry, simply because there weren't any more wonderful stories left to read. I didn't cry though--I just flipped it back to the beginning and read it again. This book really lets people into his life. He doesn't back-stab anybody or put anybody down, and his stories aren't "And that's why I'm perfect" He shows us the more human side of him, and his style of writing makes you feel as if you were actually having a conversation with him, and these were the stories he was telling you. These are stories that nobody will ever get tired of reading. They are no doubt stories that, if Jay were a father, his children would beg him to tell over and over again. This is my new favorite book! Way to go Jay!!! :o

What a nice man! 2001/1/29
By HeyJudy - (Amazon.com)
形式:マスマーケット
Jay Leno either is a very nice man or he's a total liar. I don't believe that it's the latter. LEADING WITH MY CHIN is his autobiography, and it certainly confirms his niceness.

This is the brief, "official" version of his childhood and early years, in which he gives what seems to be an honest appraisal of his failures every bit as much as his successes. Many of the anecdotes, hardly unexpectedly for a person of Leno's skill, are hilarious. A few are oddly touching. Over and over, he proves himself to be caring and observant.

It would be impossible to read such an autobiography without learning something about the making of a star comedian, and about the hard work it requires. Certainly, the determination to get as far as Leno and that handful of others have gotten must be fierce. It says a great deal about Leno's humanity that he has managed to keep intact his decency while he climbed to the very top of his industry.
