Just The Funny Parts: ...And A Few Hard Truths About Sneaking Into The Hollywood Boys' Club

"TV writer extraordinaire Nell Scovell delivers three books in one. It’s a hilariously self-deprecating, warts-and-all showbiz memoir, combined with an insightful how-to-survive-in-Hollywood manual, mixed with an incredibly brave chronicle of the sexism and harassment she has faced in a male-dominated industry. Scovell, who created ABC’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch and has written for The Simpsons and Late Night with David Letterman, calls out Letterman for never hiring a writer of color and alleges, with detail, that Jim Stafford pressured her into sex when he was head writer for a Smothers Brothers revival series. Fortunately, the book is also so down to earth and funny – there’s an entire chapter devoted to writing jobs she didn’t get – that readers will laugh at least as much as they get angry."
