Exclusive: Comedian, actor and former SNL writer Rob Schneider is set to release his first book. In a competitive situation, Center Street, a division of Hatchette Book Group, will publish Schneider’s You Can Do I! Speak Your Mind, America, on September 24.
The date was deliberately chosen to coincide with the final stage of the 2024 Presidential campaign.
According to the publisher, in the book, Schneider uses humor and stories from his life to offer a searing and hilarious commentary on American culture and the threats to free speech. Taking on current politics in America, he argues that Americans are living under a new kind of tyranny and comments on the new threats to free speech, the fight for medical freedoms, climate change hysteria and, “of course, Hunter Biden,” per Center Street.
“I am a traditional liberal which apparently makes me a right-wing fascist now!” Schneider said.

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider says there’s no shortage of conservative right-wingers in Hollywood but that they “fear cancel culture too much to speak up.”
Schneider, donning a bright-blue suit and tie during an appearance Wednesday morning on Fox News, has not been quiet about his political leanings and even moved from San Francisco to Arizona as a result, he says. Asked about former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s statements Tuesday about leaving the Democratic party, he said he wasn’t surprised.
“As an actor, you’re always coming from a place of trying to get work. But at a certain point, you know, you have to worry about, I mean, I’m in my 50s now, late 50s — it’s going to catch you too, Brian,” Schneider said, joking to “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade, sitting to the actor’s right. “I worry more about the freedoms of my kids.

Exclusive: More than two decades after The Animal was released, the Rob Schneider comedy movie is getting a sequel on Fox’s AVOD platform Tubi. Schneider is back and will reprise his starring role as Marvin Mange, a police evidence clerk whose behavior changed after he got animal parts transplanted following a critical injury.

I hear in it, Marvin, now retired, gets into an accident and has to be put together again with new animal parts. He goes...

Rob Schneider‘s daughter may be a bit behind on her movie watchlist, but she’s not out of the loop on her dad’s comedic appeal. Nine-year-old Miranda told Et’s Will Marfuggi that she’s only seen “half of one” of her father’s movies, but said she still thinks her dad is funny.
The movie in question? 2001’s “The Animal”, which the father-daughter duo revealed they had to turn off because Miranda’s younger sister, Madeline, started crying.
Hopefully, Miranda’s movie list will increase this week with the release of “Daddy Daughter Trip”, a family affair film that stars herself and her father as a dad and daughter who embark on an outlandish family vacation. Schneider’s other daughter, singer Elle King, makes a cameo as well, and Adam Sandler’s wife, Jackie, plays Miranda’s mother.
“Adam was so sweet,” Schneider told Et. “One of...
