Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Todd Glass Situation A Bunch of Lies about My Personal Life and a Bunch of True Stories about My Todd Glass Net Worth. Todd Glass net worth: Todd Glass is an American stand-up comedian who has a net worth of $1.5 million. Todd Glass was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in December 1964. He started performing stand-up comedy in 1982 while in high school. He is perhaps best known for appearing on the NBC reality television series Last Comic Standing in Seasons 2 and 3. His debut album Vintage Todd Glass and Other Crap was released in 2001. Glass also released the albums Thin Pig in 2009 and "Todd Glass Talks About Stuff" in 2013. In 2014 he released his autobiography The Todd Glass Situation: A Bunch of Lies about My Personal Life and a Bunch of True Stories about My 30-Year Career in Stand-Up Comedy. He collapsed backstage in 2010 after suffering a heart attack. In 2012 Glass came out publically as gay. In the 1990s he appeared in episodes of the TV series Married with Children, Home Improvement, Cybill, and Friends. Glass has also appeared on the TV series Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Dennis Miller Show, Tosh.0, and a Comedy Central Presents special in 2001. Todd Glass Situation: A Bunch of Lies about My Personal Life and a Bunch of True Stories about My 30-Year Career in Stand-Up Comedy. A hilarious, poignant memoir from comedian Todd Glass about his decision at age forty-eight to finally live openly as a gay man–and the reactions and support from his comedy pals, from Louis CK to Sarah Silverman. Growing up in a Philadelphia suburb in the 1970s was an easy life. Well, easy as long as you didn’t have dyslexia or ADD, or were a Jew. And once you added gay into the mix, life became more difficult. So Todd Glass decided to hide the gay part, no matter how comic, tragic, or comically tragic the results. It might have been a lot easier had he chosen a profession other than stand-up comedy. By age eighteen, Todd was opening for big musical acts like George Jones and Patti LaBelle. His career carried him through the Los Angeles comedy heyday in the 1980s, its decline in the 1990s, and its rebirth via the alternative comedy scene and the explosion in podcasting. But the harder he worked at his craft, the more difficult it became to manage his “situation.” There were the years of abstinence and half-hearted attempts to “cure” himself. The fake girlfriends so that he could tell relationship jokes onstage. The staged sexual encounters to burnish his reputation offstage. It took a brush with death to cause him to rethink the way he was living his life; a rash of suicides among gay teens to convince him that it was finally time to come out to the world. Now, Todd has written an open, honest, and hilarious memoir in an effort to help everyone–young and old, gay and straight–breathe a little more freely. Peppered with anecdotes from his life among comedy’s greatest headliners and tales of the occasionally insane lengths Todd went through to keep a secret that–let’s face it–he probably didn’t have to keep for as long as he did, The Todd Glass Situation is a front-row seat to the last thirty plus years of comedy history and a deeply personal story about one man’s search for acceptance.
