Review: How I Got This Way


How I Got This Way
How I Got This Way by Regis Philbin

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Pretty light and fluffy memoir. I liked the earliest chapters about breaking into the nascent TV industry and especially Steve Allen and working with Joey Bishop, but after that is a stretch of coach hagiography (enough about Notre Dame!) and the chapter setup of concluding with pithy aphorisms gets old. Toward the end there are some bright points in chapters about Jerry Seinfeld, Jack Nicholson, and others. (Each chapter is about a famous icon or colleague.)
