About the Book

This book is a true story about how a relatively unknown comedian and aspiring writer was uniquely plucked from obscurity and mentored by the legendary entertainer Bill Cosby. Garfield was hired as a warm up comedian and fired by producers because they were envious he was given an opportunity by Cosby to watch "their" show in-process from the inside. In the face of adversity, hate, deceit, and backstabbing from those that dismissed him, he unrelentingly pursued this tempt at fate, win or lose, claiming this once in a lifetime invitation and access. In the end he proved to be and do more than any of them expected under Cosby's Godfather-like protection and guidance. Bill Cosby kept the door open just wide enough for Garfield to make it through, but was ready to slam it shut if he didn't follow the unspoken rules. This is a must read for all whom venture into the world of powerful and influential people! Aspiring TV/film writers, advertising creatives and college students navigating their way through life's hurdles, will learn a wealth of insights! He made it through and so can you. See how he stumbled upon a small opportunity and saw the big picture through a few choice words and how blessed he was that, Power was his mentor!

He began his career in stand-up comedy while attending Alabama State University as house M.C. at the Punchline Comedy Club in Montgomery, Alabama. Originally from East Elmhurst, Queens-New York and currently residing in Harlem, he has traveled the nation performing in the top comedy clubs, and on television on HBO'S Def Comedy Jam, Uptown Comedy Club and Showtime At The Apollo. He made the natural progression from performer to writer with humorous award winning campaigns in advertising for the radio featuring Barry White for Anhueser-Bush Bud Light; and American Express/Money Gram, winning the coveted Mercury Award and London International Festival Award respectively for each campaign. Art Garfield also created and wrote award-winning TV commercial campaigns for super-star comedians Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac and Tony T. Roberts, for Pepsi and Burger King. He's appeared in numerous films and commercials as an actor (Mo Money, Boomerang, Wendy's and more...) but writing became his passion. He's even tackled comedy writing for morning radio in the tough New York City market at #1 urban hip hop station Hot97 where he wrote for the Miss. Jones in the Morning Show and was known for his hilarious prank telephone calls. Currently, he's writing sitcom pilots and has film projects in development. Art can be seen on YouTube's Cineflix channel's movie review show called, "I Heard!" with fellow comedian JB SMOOVE (SNL, Curb Your Enthusiasm) doing hilarious movie reviews of movies they've never seen!...lol... He's hit home runs with his every writing effort in sitcom, TV commercials and morning drive radio. With this being his first book we expect nothing less than another smash hit! The future holds more intriguing and revealing book projects from this well rounded talent, so stay tuned!
