The author moved back home at 29 (it's explained in the book) and started emailing friends with things his dad said. They thought they were hilarious and encouraged him to start tweeting them. He did, and in short order had over a million followers - followed by book and tv offers. I started to watch the tv series this week, but after reading the book I just couldn't see Bill Shatner, who I usually like a lot, as Sam Halpern, so I switched to something else after about 10 minutes. The real "Dad" is highly educated and his musings offer insight and wisdom, but are delivered in the most politically incorrect ways.
