Summary of William Knoedelseder's I'm Dying Up Here

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Miller had appeared as Dave Letterman’s guest fifty-six times over two decades. He had logged thirty-two appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. He had stood alone in front of a crowd and cracked wise every night for more than thirty years.

#2 The feud between Leno and Letterman was well known among their friends. Leno had taken over for Letterman as host of The Tonight Show, and Letterman had always wanted the job.

#3 The George stories were more accessible to an outsider. Elayne Boosler remembered a middle-of-the-night phone call she had with Miller in 1976, when he asked her for money so he could buy drugs. She gave him $75, and he called her an enabler years later because of it.

#4 The funeral was filled with drug references and jokes. No one had any idea what was about to happen.
