Reviews
"If this book is like everything else John does, it'll be a bestseller, which irritates me because he's good-looking, funny, and clever. It's like he went to the comic buffet and took everything. 'Hey, John, take one item and move on!' He's one of my top-three all-time favorite comedians, next to me and Foxworthy. Buy this book--you'll be glad you did. Then check out my website for all my tour dates." --Larry the Cable Guy "One of the more important interviews I've conducted was with John Crist. He's absolutely hilarious, one of the funniest people I've ever met!" --Marty Smith, ESPN host and reporter

Synopsis
A candid and irreverent look at the ridiculous ways we all try to make ourselves look better online-from a popular standup and internet comedian whose videos have been viewed over one billion times. "John is one of my top-three all-time favorite comedians, next to me and Foxworthy. Buy this book-you'll be glad you did."-Larry the Cable Guy John Crist wasn't always recognizable as "the guy from that hilarious video in the grocery store." Growing up part of a homeschool family of ten in rural Georgia with Mennonite grandparents and a high-school job at Chick-fil-A, he was an unlikely candidate for internet fame. Despite all that, or perhaps because of it, Crist passionately pursued his dream of stand-up comedy. In his first book, Crist offers heartfelt, laugh-out-loud observations on the absurd ways we all try to make ourselves look better online- like how we all post filtered pictures of our super healthy kale salads but somehow neglect to post about our 1 A.M. Uber Eats Big Mac. Or how quick we all are to post our "I Voted" sticker pictures but fail to post about the ways we vote with our dollars every day in ways that don't align with our loudly and publicly espoused values. With self-deprecating wit, Crist chronicles his meteoric rise as an online and stand-up comedian, but he doesn't gloss over the ways his own life choices did not align with his online image-a gap between perception and reality that eventually led to a stint in rehab. In Delete That, Crist takes responsibility for his actions, offers some reflections on how to do better, and encourages us all to stop capitulating to the fear of "But what will they think?!" Instead, this book offers a bold invitation to stop curating life and start living it . . . one Nickelback concert at a time., There were a few of them clustered together like they were having a meeting, maybe hatching a plan for taking over the rest of my head. A brief wave of panic came over me. I wish I could tell you that I was overwhelmed by a reminder of my own mortality or worried about the passage of time and whether I was making the most of my limited days on this earth, but that ain't true. In reality, I was mostly worried about how it would look on social media. Should I now frame myself in Instagram stories from only the right side? What if I got an entirely new haircut so my grays didn't really show anymore? Should I wear a hat everywhere I go from now on? Shave my head bald? Or I could turn to technology-albeit 1980s technology-and head to CVS to pick up some Just For Men and wash that gray right cut of my hair. Then it struck me that there is another option, a revolutionary one: Leave it alone and accept that gray hair is part of who I am now. That I, like everyone else on this planet, am getting older and that the physical manifestations of the process are nothing to hide or be ashamed of. That we all need to see aging and the wisdom it brings as a gift and not a curse. But then I discovered this great Instagram filter and started using it on my photos instead! Book jacket., A candid and irreverent look at the ridiculous ways we all try to make ourselves look better online--from a popular standup and internet comedian whose videos have been viewed over one billion times.
