“Let me begin with an incontrovertible truth: It is simply impossible to know Geraldo personally and not love him as the true American original that he is. In my case, he is my adopted brother. The older brother I always wanted in life, and the older brother I am so proud of. His love of life is simply infectious. His fearlessness, and his courage are inspiring to everyone he comes into contact with. You have not lived a full and complete life unless and until you have the opportunity to listen to Geraldo tell the stories of each chapter in his life. To listen, to each and every detail, you marvel at the life Geraldo has lived. He has lived 500 full lives in one, and he loves every second of it, and he’s building new chapters every single day. The Geraldo Show gives you insight into the man I know and love. The life lessons in this book will help all of us to grow and will inspire us to take more chances and ‘go where the action is.’ While some people recoil from danger, Geraldo dives in head first.
The passion and love he has for this country, our military, his work ethic, now almost 50 years on television, makes him The Godfather of tough hard-hitting, know-no-fear, go-anywhere reporting. The Geraldo Show takes us on a journey. A journey that few people in life will ever get to go on. A journey to some of the most remote places in the world. To me, Geraldo’s greatest and most courageous journeys were those he took as a FNC war correspondent. I’ll never forget the moment Geraldo pointed to the mountains of Tora Bora, emphatically telling the world ‘Bin Laden is hidden right now in those mountains.’ And Geraldo was correct.
This page-turning roller coaster ride Geraldo takes us on will truly inspire every reader to want to dive even deeper into themselves, to find that part of our souls that wish to be more courageous and bold in the lives we live. The Geraldo Show will also tell you the true story of how Geraldo and I first met, my initial skepticism when I first heard he was hired, and the evolution of one of the dearest friendships in my life.”

“With unrelenting pursuit, few were more dedicated to understanding the War on Terror than Geraldo Rivera. A must-read to understand the complexities of the battle overseas and the war over public opinion here at home.”
—BILL HEMMER, FOX News anchor
“The Geraldo Show is a poignant account of combat as seen from the one person who has been there with our soldiers every step of the way. He captures war as it was fought; in all its ugliness, all its sacrifices, and all its heroism. As a war correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no one who spent more time sharing in the hardships that our men and women endured than Geraldo; he also told their stories so that the true heroes . . . those selfless men and women that served our nation would not go uncelebrated. Geraldo’s passion and love for GIs is unquestionable. I am proud to call Geraldo a true patriot and friend.”
—JOHN F. CAMPBELL, General, US Army (Retired)
“Geraldo and I have been best buds since before I can remember smoking weed . . . which we never did together . . . even when no one was looking. I would go on an adventure with him anytime. The Geraldo Show is just the ticket.”
