Publishing this week


This is a bit late because this book was released on Tuesday October 20th, but all the same it is a publishing tid bit.

Actor, comedian and Chicago native Geaorge Wendt has published a memoir book that was written with Jonathan Grotenstein titled, "Drinking with George: A Barstool Professional's Guide to Beer'

This book covers Wendt growing up, his school years, his college experience and of course his adult professional life including his life on the famed TV series "Cheers" where he played Norm and his life after Cheers. The book includes personal stories, odd facts about Wendt and of course beer might be mentioned.

He was interviewed on Bob and Tom on Tuesday and also did an interview with Chicago Sun Times about his book. To read the article go to : http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/books/1834066,CST-FTR-wendt20.article

Goerge Wendt has been been a busy man in years past he was in 1999's made for TV movie "Alice in Wonderland" he was Fred Tweedledee, he has been on SNL several times (remember the Chicago Bears skit with Chris Farley?), he also was on Frasier several times as a guest, and he is in the newly announced House of Re-Animator which is due out for 2010. House of Re-Animator's plot is when there's a death in the White House, "re-animator" Herbert West is brought in to bring the corpse back to life. Wendt is playing the Vice President of the United States. That will be interesting to say the least.
