Jenny Pentland grew up inside a sitcom. Literally. Her early family life became the inspiration for her mom’s mega-hit show Roseanne. But behind the scenes, it wasn’t all punchlines and laugh tracks.
Fame shoved the Pentland family from working-class Denver to the chaos of Hollywood, where Jenny faced relentless public scrutiny, anxiety, and a whirlwind of self-help institutions she never asked to attend. Rehab? Check. Fat camp? Also check. Drugs? Never touched them.
Told with biting humor and brutal honesty, This Will Be Funny Later is a coming-of-age memoir like no other—a sharp, funny, and fearless look at growing up famous, surviving the weirdest parts of the self-improvement era, and finding peace in a life far from the spotlight.
This time, Jenny writes her own story. And it’s hilarious.
