An unfiltered and hilarious 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 expressing a few contrarian -- but commonsense -- opinions about 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 comedy and speech. Comedians matter because they have a unique position in society to stand up against tyranny. For hundreds of years, the role of the satirist has been to explain society to society in real time. Now, in the present day, you won’t lose your head for daring to mock the king and question the approved narrative, but the pro-censorship crowd will go after your pocketbook -- and you might lose your YouTube channel. 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 like identity politics, Covid tyranny, climate change hysteria, 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 but vitally important book shows readers, you can do it too.
