A career in comedy, in Lorre’s own account

Chuck Lorre’s memoir looks back on a television career spanning decades and nearly two thousand half-hours of comedy, including The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Mom and Young Sheldon.

Its scope makes the connection between creating popular sitcoms and the person doing the work the central thread, while the title’s reference to vanity cards signals that this familiar feature of Lorre’s television work is part of the story.
