Imagine if you only had one hour to tell people everything you had learned about life in an effort to keep them from screwing up theirs. The only catch is you have to make them laugh the entire time. This is the challenge comedian and New York Times best-selling author Behrendt has set for himself.

The former consultant for "Sex and The City" and his wife, Amira Ruotola-Behrendt, are currently writing a third book, titled It's Just a Bleeping Date.
Behrendt was the consultant behind the popular movie, "He's Just Not That Into You," featuring Jennifer Anniston, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore and Ben Affleck. He hosted the self-titled "The Greg Behrendt Show" for Sony Pictures. The co-author of the book, Sex and the City, he was a consultant for three consecutive seasons on HBO's "Sex and the City."
