Yes, You're Pregnant, But What About Me?
by
Kevin Nealon
At fifty-three, Kevin Nealon thought he had it all: a massive international celebrity with legions of loyal fans; a fabulous modeling career; hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank; and the most recognizable face on the planet. Nealon had accomplished the impossible: a thirty-year career in show business with only limited trips to rehab. But just like every other cele...more

This memoir has potty humor that even women will enjoy. I don’t want to give anything away, so let’s just say that Kevin Nealon, celebrity comedian, shows us his vulnerable side as he recounts the time his girlfriend/future wife came to his aid in the bathroom. The result is a story that is hilarious and surprisingly touching.
Kevin Nealon’s entire memoir is funny in a goofy and zany way. (I even read it twice and laughed just as hard the second time through). The content circles around growing...more

I think I have a special affection for Nealon due to his being a fixture on Saturday Night Live during that key window when a) the show was good and b) I watched it. That's why I ended up reading a book about something that has no relevance to me and for which the target audience is probably everyone but me. I didn't love this book, but I enjoyed it, and I imagine anyone with even a modicum of relevant life experience would enjoy it even more. Nealon is a very funny man, and his particular brand...more
it started off so well, but then kind of drizzled off into rambling.
I can read these kinds of books now, because I am safely past the childbearing years when perusement of such would increase my heart rate and cause me to hyperventilate due to ongoing traumatic stress syndrome.
This guy is very funny! And one can't help but love the self-absorbed theme that runs through his book. It reminds me of someone I know....

I really enjoyed this book. I bought it as a was becoming a new father in the next few months and I thought it would provide some good insight. I wasn't sure at first because the book seemed somewhat autobiographical when he was retelling stories of his childhood but its all brought together in the end.
Its funny in a I can really relate sort of way but not hysterical. I really enjoyed the book and was soo excited reading the end of the book in anticipation of my coming son.

This book was hilarious! Just about every page made me literally laugh out loud. If you have followed Kevin Nealon's career from Saturday Night Live onward, and enjoy his comedy in general, you will love his take on what men go through when their spouses are pregnant! I can not say enough how much I enjoyed this book, but it is a bit risque in terms of terminology (for those readers who may be a bit more straight-laced than me).
I've always been a fan of Kevin Nealon's work on Saturday Night Live and, more recently, his role on Weeds. When I set out to see his stand-up comedy, I knew it would be good, but I was surprised at just how good it was. Nealon's stand-up is among the best I've witnessed.
Just as his stand-up surprised me, his book did too. Most comedians write books full of one liners that make the reader chuckle. These books, with their wide margins and large fonts leave most readers wanting more. Nealon's boo...more

I love Kevin Nealon. I'm not even pregnant but I read this book because I knew it would be hysterical. It did not fail my expectations. I've never laughed out loud and so hard in my life while reading a book. While I wouldn't recommend this being the main book you or your spouse should read when you're expecting, his take on his wides pregnancy & what it was like going through it for the first time will be a welcome change from the typical "what to expect when you're expecting" type book.
I enjoyed this book and the stories he tells about his life...especially like the one where he is trying to be tough and warn his neighbor with the lights and window shades!
It was a good read, but not overly alluring for me. I would recommend it if you are looking for a light read.

Non-fiction. Cute. He was on Saturday Night Live for many years. Becomes a Dad late in life (53). Goes through all of the pregnancy symptoms like his wife. Has a baby boy, Gable.

Sometimes I feel like I give every book a 4. But this was hilarious and fun to read! (Although I'm glad I don't have to deal with pregnancy or birth yet)
Got bored. This was kind of a series of unconnected rants that I could kind of connect with, but ultimately weren't that funny. Got to page 80 or so.
Even though this book is technically written for the "father to be" I still found it to be hilarious and an enjoyable, quick read!
Not anywhere near as funny as I expected. More like an autobiography than just the pregnancy topic.
Cried laughing in places. His tone comes through in his choice of words, he writes like he speaks.
Started out funny but quickly became monotonous. Nealon is not as funny as he thinks
Since this book is about his experience you need to have some interest in the person itself to enjoy it. If you do you will enjoy how he used his used to describe his early days and then the path that lead to the day the child was born.
It's a funny document that shows how his fears and hopes affected him in a way that touches us. This combined with the funny stories he tells makes the book a good read and a time well spent.

I got this after his stand-up show in Tampa and he signed it "Use Protection!"
If you like Kevin Nealon on Weeds, and laughed at him on SNL most likely you have the sense of humor to appreciate this book. Devilishly funny and lighthearted take on life.
I love him & this was a quick, fun read.
pretty funny
Not a fan of his writing style. I couldn't get past the first chapter. One coherent thought is followed by random tangents that seemed somewhat like stream of consciousness.
This was a book I started reading at a good clip, then tapered off. I admit to picking it up because of my love of Kevin Nealon's character on "Weeds." It was a pleasant enough read though I only laughed out loud a couple times. If there is an audio version, it might be more fun to listen to. Some gags were obvious but all in all I'm uncertain which truths were stretched and which were not. Well-played, Mr. Nealon.
Didn't make it all the way through. Amusing, but after a while Nealon's rat-tat-tat style gets a little annoying. To his credit, his quips and jokes are funny over 50% of the time, but they would have to be funny over 75% of the time to keep me reading, and he doesn't reach that level. So, amusing, but not enough to keep it past the due date to finish reading.
Very enjoyable!
Oh my gosh, how hilarious! The funniest, laugh out loud book I've read in a long time. I hope there's a sequel!
My favorite part...their friends were encouraging them to find out the sex of their unborn baby--"it's the last greatest surprise of your life!". Huh. I thought the last greatest surprise of your life was how you were going to die...

Joe received this as a gift. I borrowed it on vacation to read. It was entertaining, but definitely had a "comedian" feel to it. I kept hearing the "ba-dum-dum" of drums in my head everytime he made a joke or sarcastic comment, which happened frequently. It was okay, for a pregnant person looking for a book on vacation. :)

Silly book my mom bought me, but it makes me laugh. It's written in the same kind of shtick he used to use on SNL (sure of himself, but blissfully unaware), but it still makes me laugh. There is some decent advice tucked in there, as well.
Not as funny as I expected. Kevin Nealon's revelations about the journey that led him to become a father later in life are interesting, but true to the title, he talks too much about himself and not enough about the little boy who made him a dad.
