I've only ever know Josh Gad's work in Book of Mormon and Disney-related projects, so I was gratified to learn about his more serious work. He's been through some shit, which isn't his fault, and he's done a lot of work to get past it (and to turn himself into a true double-and-a-quarter threat—he can sort of dance, if he has to). And he's so gosh-darned charismatic that I wouldn't be surprised if Generalized Anxiety Disorder rebrands itself as "Gad"!

Josh Gad's memoir was one of the best ones I've read this year. the actor knows how to tell astory with the write about a humor and emotion with namedrops that made my jawdrop. His stories are truly equal parts hilarious and inspiring.
