At age four, Molly Shannon’s world was shattered when she lost her mother, baby sister, and cousin in a car accident with her father at the wheel. Held together by her tender and complicated relationship with her grieving father, Molly was raised in a permissive household where her gift for improvising and role-playing blossomed alongside the fearlessness that would lead her to become a celebrated actress.

From there, Molly ventured into the wider world of New York and Los Angeles show business, where she created her own opportunities and developed her daring and empathetic comedy. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories involving everyone from Whitney Houston to Adam Sandler to Monica Lewinsky, many told for the first time here, Hello, Molly! spans Molly’s time on Saturday Night Live - where she starred alongside Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Cheri Oteri, Tracy Morgan, and Jimmy Fallon, among many others. At the same time, it explores with humor and candor her struggle to come to terms with the legacy of her father, a man who both fostered her gifts and drive and was left with the impossible task of raising his kids alone after the loss of her mother.

Witty, winning, and told with tremendous energy and heart, Hello, Molly!, written with Sean Wilsey, sheds new and revelatory light on the life and work of one of our most talented and free-spirited performers.

She is so funny and it shines through completely; even when she is writing! I found myself laughing out loud and near tears other times. I have been a fan of hers since SNL and the story was very interesting and it explains how she grew up creating funny situations to avoid heartache. She put's a funny spin on a tragic situations in her life but she moves forward and it makes her who she is today.

She had a rough start in life. Its an excellent memoir.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 29, 2022

I loved this page-turner by one of my favorite comedians. I was shocked to learn about the loss of her Mother at such a young age. Very entertaining memoir. Molly's Father was a very interesting and unique individual from whom Molly no doubt inherited some of his spunk. He raised his children by himself after his wife's death leaving him with 2 young daughters. She had quite a childhood as she was left to her own devices much of the time, but it helped her rather than harmed her, which is interesting. She is very resilient. Very upbeat entertaining book. She really did a great job.
