<b>In this side-splitting memoir the former <i>Saturday Night Live</i> star recounts the hilarious adventures and unexpected joy of dating and becoming a mother when she least expected it-at the age of forty-four. </b><p>Anyone who saw an episode of <i>Saturday Night Live</i> between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of <i>30 Rock</i> Dratch was only getting offered roles as 'Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians.'</p><p>Her career at a low point Dratch suddenly had time for yoga dog- sitting learning Spanish-and dating. After all what did a forty- something single woman living in New York have to lose? Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she met John.</p><p>Handsome and funny after only six months of dating long-distance he became the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned undreamed-of child and moved to New York to be a dad. With riotous humor Dratch recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents the awe of her single friends and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.</p><p>Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch's time on <i>SNL Girl Walks into a Bar...</i> is a refreshing version of the 'happily ever after' story that proves female comics-like bestsellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler-are truly having their moment.</p>
