Ali in Wonderland

Mix 1 oz. Chelsea Handler, 1.5 oz. Nora Ephron, finish with a twist of Tina Fey, and you get Ali in Wonderland, the uproarious, revealing, and heartfelt memoir from acclaimed actress and comedian Ali Wentworth. Whether spilling secrets about her quintessentially WASPy upbringing (and her delicious rebellion against it), reminiscing about her Seinfeld “Schmoopie” days and her appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, or baring the details of starting a family alongside husband George Stephanopoulos, one thing is for sure—Ali has the unsurpassable humor and warmth of a born storyteller with a story to tell: the quirky, flavorful, surprising, and sometimes scandalous Ali in Wonderland. “Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth.” —Alec Baldwin This isn’t just a celebrity memoir. It’s a collection of tall tales you have to read to believe. Behind-the-Scenes Hollywood: From being "Schmoopie" on Seinfeld to getting notes like "She's a seven, we need a ten!" and discovering her nanny was dealing heroin, Ali's journey through show business is as wild as it is funny. WASP Rebellion: Dive into a quintessentially WASPy upbringing where her mother, Muffie, met a mental breakdown with the advice, "Nobody goes to the Bahamas in July!" Celebrity Marriage: Finding love on a blind date with George Stephanopoulos was the easy part. Navigating their two worlds—and two very formidable mothers—is where the real story begins. Candid and Heartfelt: With raw honesty, Ali shares her experience of "cracking like a Baccarat tumbler," offering a refreshingly real look at anxiety, depression, and finding her way back.
