Publisher's summary

Gary Craig, actor, singer, and renowned radio personality, amused audiences on stage, film, television, and radio. He punked Walter Cronkite and tricked Whitney Houston. He shadowed Larry King, enthused Larry David, and acted with Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and Christian Bale. Hartford's number-one morning radio personality finally pulls the mask from the myriad of myths surrounding him. Hilarious anecdotes, riotous pranks, and sidesplitting stories regale you with the raucous roots of his radio reign from humble beginnings to his current spectacular ratings on Hartford's beloved WTIC-FM morning show, Craig and Company.

Follow his footsteps as an underdog struggling to secure a niche career while reaching for the stars to follow his dreams. His upbeat, ribald, all-American success story radiates joy and illustrates an inspiring example of how hard work and a determination to overcome obstacles can propel a man to achieve what others can only dream.

Larry King says, "I've known Gary a long time, and he's a super talent!"

LOVED IT!!!

I have been listening to Gary Craig since I was about 13 yrs old. I remember listening to him as I got ready for school each morning. I loved listening to how he got his start in radio. How he got through all his struggles in life. I cried like a baby when he couldn't continue the day that John Elliott retired. I'm in my mid-forty's now and I still listen to him every morning getting ready for work This is definitely recommend this book to any of his fans. I don't know who I would listen to in the mornings if and when he retires...

the crazy man had one crazy life

having grown up with Craig and coe. it was great to hear the life story of the crazy man. I felt like I was listening to a Scorsese sorry only instead of a mobster it's a disk jockey. anyone who has grown up in CT should read this book.
