Kotter's Back

By Gabe Kaplan
Kotter's Back by Gabe Kaplan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When fifty-eight-year-old Gabe Kaplan, perhaps best known for his performance in the title role of the popular seventies sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter, got an e-mail asking him to participate in a show called Celebrity Boxing, he couldn't resist the urge to have a little fun with the request. After exchanging a series of ludicrous e-mails with the show's talent coordinator in a mock-serious attempt at negotiation, Gabe was inspired to start a prank e-mail campaign. The result is this hilarious collection of correspondence. See how people react to Gabe Kaplan's absurd claims that he:

* has slept with more women than Wilt Chamberlain
* is an expert at Cossack dancing
* thinks he's smart enough to become a member of MENSA
* wants his image on a U.S. postage stamp
* would like NASA to send him into orbit with Jimmy Carter and Dr. J
* and many more!


Witty, irreverent, and ridiculously comical, Gabe's e-mails and the responses he receives are sure to entertain anyone with a taste for the surreal.

“A riot throughout! Gabe Kaplan, of "Welcome Back Kotter" and "Battle of the Network Stars" fame, created this book of hilarious e-mails that he has sent to various contacts/experts in their fields. Most of these propose new innovative ways to get Gabe back in the spotlight after years of being off of the prime time airwaves. Are you looking to laugh? Here is a great way to get yourself there!”
