Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Say "Bob Eubanks" and most people will think of The Newlywed Game—and not much else. Perhaps therein lies the reason for the veteran game show host to pen his autobiography. Eubanks is a kind of Forrest Gump of American media, popping up to promote everything from early Beatles concerts to the legendary 1975 Ali-Frazier boxing match, the Thrilla in Manila. He tells it all, in numbing detail. By page 90, readers are only in 1962, learning about the quirks of old radio personalities. Only near book's end does Eubanks delve into his story's most intriguing portion: his television career. Eubanks's tone is light and conversational, typical of a TV emcee, and co-author Hansen has an easy touch with enigmatic personalities. Ironically, there's a vein of self-doubt and insecurity in the outwardly confident host: "I couldn't shake the feeling that my life's work could be capsulized as a guy who pushed young couples to answer suggestive questions about their personal lives for the price of a toaster." Yet Eubanks skips over other telling moments—such as his fraying marriage—in a couple of paragraphs. However much Eubanks might like to distance himself from The Newlywed Game, it's what he'll be remembered for. At least with this book, his other lives are on the record, too. Photos not seen by PW.

Very interesting collection of anecdotes and behind the scenes information.

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022

I must admit when I ordered this book I was shopping for behind the scenes stuff from his most popular exposure "The Newlywed Game", and while there is some there, this is a huge collection of his other endeavors and Wow- it's really presented well and is fun to read. I am truly enjoying this book into Bob Eubank's life and the people he met along the way.

Very entertaining book, especially if you are a fan of game shows, although of course Bob Eubanks has done much more than just host game shows. It's odd that he doesn't go into much detail about his personal life, like how he met his wives, but maybe he thought that people wouldn't find that as interesting as his work in the entertainment industry.

If you are interested in getting an inside scoop of the making of the music scene of the 50s, 60s and 70s then this book will go a long way to get you educated.

Who knew that Bob Eubanks had so many careers going on at the same time? Those of us growing up in the 60's remembered that he was a game show host and often confused as to whether it was The Dating Game or The Newlywed Game. (It was the latter, of course) But I doubt if anyone other than a few fans living on the West Coast knew that he was a music event promoter as well as a radio disc jockey.

Bob talks mostly about his time working with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton and others. It isn't towards the end of the book that he goes much into the behind the scenes and funny recollections of The Newlywed Game.

The book is about 325 pages and I'd say maybe 40 to 50 pages too long. Not being that much into Country Music, I found the section where he talks about Dolly and Tammy Wynette and Merle Haggard kind of boring. But, to each his own.

Interesting, well written book

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2011

Verified Purchase

I truly enjoyed reading this book. Having been a fan of Bob Eubanks for decades, and especially his TV series, Newlywed Game, I was astounded to find that he had such a varied life. His anecdotes and stories were laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes eye-opening. My only complaint is that the book is so short. Something tells me that he could have written ten such books, and I would want to read every one of them. Well done, Bob. I wish all The Newlywed Game episodes were available for purchase.

Enjoyable but certainly NOT comprehensive. If you want to know about Eubanks' personal life, this isn't the book for you. If you are interested in his professional achievements, you'll enjoy the book. He has done alot more than host the Newlywed Game. I enjoyed the book and learning more about Bob Eubanks!

A must have for game show junkies

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2007

Verified Purchase

Bob Eubanks, best known as host of various versions of the classic game show "The Newlywed Game", playing daily at 9 am on GSN, wrote his memoirs in 2002 titled "It's in the Book, Bob!"

In this book that is a must for game show junkies everywhere, Bob Eubanks tells his own version of his own story from birth, high school, college, radio, concert promotion, and eventually, television.

Each copy is signed by Bob Eubanks himself.

So, in the words of Bob Eubanks, purchase this book. Thanks for playing!

I can not wait to read this. We are totally blown away by watching Newlywed Game reruns, filmed prior to the puritanization of America when there was much less political correctness.
