A BOLD AND HILARIOUS MEMOIR ON SPORTS, MANHOOD, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A FAN FROM ONE OF RADIO’S BIGGEST PERSONALITIES
LOUDMOUTH
By CRAIG CARTON
Craig Carton embodies the mad but vital enthusiasm of what is to be a die-hard sports fan. You may know him as the guy who walked the Brooklyn Bridge in January in a speedo (after losing a bet), trailed by legions of fellow Jets fans. Often compared to Howard Stern, Carton has hosted a series of highly rated sports-talk shows—in Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Denver, before returning to NYC where he and Boomer Esiason co-host the #1 morning show on WFAN, “Boomer and Carton.”
In LOUDMOUTH (Simon & Schuster hardcover, on sale June 4, 2013, $24.99), his debut book, Carton invites readers to join him as he recounts the days of his reckless youth, his college shenanigans at Syracuse, and the hardships of starting a radio career and winning over fans as an unknown figure in a new city. Along the way, he also adds his signature rants about some of today’s highest paid and most celebrated athletes.
In LOUDMOUTH you’ll learn:
• What Carton really thinks of Tim Tebow’s claims of virginity
• Why the Philadelphia Eagles never travel on Fridays anymore
• What a tip from Jack Nicklaus can get you
And so much more, including Carton’s personal insights on family, fatherhood, and the ups and downs of being a LOUDMOUTH, both on and off the air.
Carton’s own fans continue to multiply, and include his co-host Boomer, Jon Stewart, and Governor Chris Christie to name a few. Here’s what they have to say about LOUDMOUTH:
“After working with Craigy for six years, I have seen all 50 shades of him.
It is my job to not only keep him in line on the air, but to also keep us from killing each other. And it is one of the best jobs I have ever had. So now, I welcome you to the 50 Shades of Craig Carton.”
—Boomer Esiason, “The Boomer and Carton Show”
“I listen to this guy every morning. Why I want more of him and in book form…
I don’t know. But I do. Hilarious.”
—Jon Stewart, “The Daily Show”
“Craig Carton is funny, insightful, tough and a great family man and friend.
You are going to love him even more after you read this book!”
—Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey
