I'm Not a Terrorist, But I've Played One On TV by Maz Jobrani
A hilarious and moving memoir of growing up Iranian in America, and the quest to make it in Hollywood without having to wear a turban.
Jobrani has plenty to say about matters of race, assimilation, embarrassing family members, life in America for brown-skinned people before and after 9/11, the vagaries of international pop culture and making it in big, dumb, fizzy, sometimes beautiful America-The New York Times
I didn't even know Maz was Persian. I thought he was Mexican. You learn so much when someone writes a book about themselves. Now read it so you can understand why Maz is hands down my favorite bald headed, goateed, Persian comedian named Maz. -Whitney Cummings, stand-up comedian and creator of Two Broke Girls
I have witnessed hundreds of thousands of people come to my club, and adore Maz. I highly recommend this book. It's an incredible story about an incredible comedian. You will love it! -Jamie Masada, Owner, The World Famous Laugh Factory
Maz Jobrani is no Jabroni. If you don't read his book I will find you, put you in a camel clutch, and break your neck! Oh, and his book is funny too. -The Iron Sheik, WWE Champion and Social Media God
A heartfelt and laugh-out-loud hilarious memoir about growing up an immigrant in America. Maz Jobrani is not just one of the funniest comics out there. He's a keenly perceptive voice on what it even means to be American. - Reza Aslan, author of Zealot and No god but God
The struggles and successes of `the Persian Eddie Murphy.' Iranian-American comedian, actor and first-time author Jobrani tells a fish-out-of-water story. . . . A funny [and] insightful memoir -Kirkus Reviews
