Book Presentation:
An unfiltered and outrageously funny commentary on the threats to free speech in America from the legendary comedian, actor, and Emmy-nominated SNL writer.
Rob Schneider’s childhood in the San Francisco Bay area with parents of mixed-race backgrounds shaped his view of the world: that America affords the greatest opportunity for peoples from all nations and all faiths. But today, in this world gone mad, free speech is under attack. And Schneider keeps finding himself in controversy for questioning what woke ideology is doing to our great nation.
Still, he refuses to be censored. In his debut book, Schneider will make you laugh out loud as he tells his unique story of a Hollywood-comedian-turned-vocal-advocate for open dialogue. He takes readers along for a ride through his life in show business (where he’s starred in 27 movies with his friend Adam Sandler), shares stories from the glory days of Saturday Night Live, and makes a persuasive case for fearlessness in speech and pushing the boundaries in comedy. Comedians matter because they have a unique position in society to stand up against tyranny. In this book, Schneider shares never-before-told personal stories about Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, Christopher Walken, Dana Carvey, and Martin Landau, and other comedy legends.
You Can Do It! is part celeb memoir, part warning, and part siren call to action. It was said during the days of Covid the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth was about six months. Influenced by his own experiences in Hollywood, Schneider illustrates his points about free expression with provocative commentary on things you aren't suppose to question, like identity politics, Covid tyranny, "global boiling," medical freedoms and more. Schneider refuses to believe he’s dangerous for saying what he thinks. In fact, the opposite is true—it’s dangerous to not question the narrative. It’s dangerous to not exercise your free speech.
That’s what Rob Schneider’s doing. And as this humorous, shocking, irreverent but insightful book shows readers, you can do it too.

Press Reviews:
"Provocative reading that will no doubt appeal to Schneider’s fans."―KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Equal parts memoir, historical survey, and political polemic, all wrapped up in Schneider’s trademark irreverent humor."―DAILY WIRE
"You Can Do It! draws from Schneider’s experiences as a boundary-pushing comedian and actor to make the case that Americans shouldn’t be afraid to speak their minds, especially when confronted by powerful woke entities which see free speech as a threat to their power and control."―FOX NEWS
"Essential reading for anyone struggling to understand the absurdity of this macro-moment in time, both emotionally and factually."―THE DAILY CALLER
"It used to be that all the funny comedians were on the left. Now they are the scolding nannies nursing official orthodoxies. All the hilarity is on the right where it is still permissible to mock hypocrisy. The best of these is Rob Schneider and this book is the best of Rob."―ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR
"An entertaining romp, fun and educational. Rob provides the reader with an insightful survey of the precautionary historical antecedents that echo in our present moment. If you thought you knew Rob Schneider….well…behold."―DR. DREW PINSKY
"Rare you get to learn something interesting while laughing, this guy just might make it in comedy."―JIMMY DORE
