“That was one of the things on my bucket list that I wanted to do when I started doing comedy on Fox and political comedy at that. One of the things I wanted to do was to try my hand at writing a book.

“I’ve been successful in wrestling, I’ve been successful on TV, and it was just one of the things that I wanted to do. So I said, ‘I’m going to do it.’ My goals weren’t that lofty. I thought maybe if I broke into the top 500 or something, that’d be pretty cool.

“I didn’t anticipate it selling out within the first six hours and being number one on Amazon and New York Times bestseller and Wall Street Journal and all that stuff. I wasn’t anticipating any of that. It was surprising. I’m still trying to figure it out. But you know, it’s a great feeling.”
