In 2013, in honor of his 65th birthday, Crystal took a hilarious and smart look at age, poking fun at his own memory loss and fears of being a grandparent. In the process, he doesn't miss a joke. "When I'm not thrilled, I get funny," he told Oprah.com about the book. "Whatever it is that's bothering me—interacting with an annoying guy at a restaurant, contemplating my age or losing friends to illness—I'll start to chip away at it. If you can poke holes in it, it's not as formidable, it's not as scary and, ultimately, it becomes another truth."
