In her new memoir, When You Lie About Your Age, the Terrorists Win: Reflections on Looking in the Mirror, stand-up comedian Carol Leifer recounts her experiences growing up with a father who told jokes, working as a comedian and meeting the love of her life — the first woman she ever dated — at 40.
Leifer has written and produced for such television shows as Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, The Ellen Show and Saturday Night Live.
