‘King of Sitcoms’ Chuck Lorre Set To Release Personal Memoir This Fall

Creator of ‘The Big Bang Theory’, Chuck Lorre is set to tell his personal story in a new memoir titled ‘Sitcom’, scheduled for release this fall through HarperCollins imprint Dey Street Books.

The acclaimed television creator, popularly known as the “King of Sitcoms,” is behind hit shows including ‘Two and a Half Men’ and ‘Young Sheldon’.

According to the book’s synopsis, ‘Sitcom’ explores Lorre’s personal and professional journey, including his struggles with addiction, chronic illness, difficult relationships and what he described as “disastrous” life choices. The memoir also promises readers an inside look into Hollywood and how many of his real-life experiences shaped the humour and storytelling that defined his successful career.

“I set out to write this book thinking I’d reveal where all the skeletons are buried,” Lorre said in a statement. “Turns out most of them are mine.”

Dey Street Books described the memoir as an “all-access pass” into Lorre’s life and career, driven by his enduring love for comedy and laughter.

Aside from the memoir, Lorre is also preparing for the release of ‘Stuart Fails to Save the Universe’, a spinoff from ‘The Big Bang Theory’, which is expected to premiere on HBO Max in July.
