In a statement from the publisher purported to be from Rogen's mother, Sandy, described the book as "not really a memoir" but more like "a bunch of funny stories", reported USA Today.

"He talks about doing stand-up when he was a kid (I drove him to all his shows!), his grandparents, high school, moving to LA, meeting some famous people, things like that. If I'm being honest, I really wish there wasn't so much drug talk," Sandy said. "Why does he need all that? It''s like ''We get it!'' And some of the stories? I mean, they're entertaining, but I was just shocked they happened and he never told me!" she added.

Rogen, a Canadian-American actor, started doing stand-up in hometown Vancouver, and moved to Los Angeles for a role in Judd Apatow's series Freaks and Geeks when he was just 16. He later earned a part on the sitcom Undeclared, which also hired him as a writer. After landing his job as a staff writer on the final season of Da Ali G Show, starring actor-comic Sacha Baron Cohen, Apatow guided Rogen towards a film career.

Rogen made his Hollywood feature debut in Donnie Darko, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, with a minor role in 2001. He has since starred in films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Steve Jobs, while co-writing movies Superbad, Pineapple Express with writing partner Evan Goldberg, and also directed This Is the End and The Interview; all of which Rogen featured in.
