Rachel Dratch - midlife miracle at 44
April 2, 2012 - You may know Rachel Dratch as Debbie Downer
from her stint on Saturday Night Live
or for her cameos on 30 Rock...
But the 46-year-old comedian has more stories to tell than the standard ex-SNL
-er's behind-the-scenes yarns.
There was this crazy twist that happened in my life, and I thought maybe I should start writing about this,
she says.
Dratch, at 43 years old, after having given up on the idea of being married with kids someday, unexpectedly got pregnant and decided to make that midlife miracle,
as she calls it, the centerpiece of her book.

| Girl Walks into a Bar |
by Rachel Dratch
-- Her career at a low point, Rachel Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning Spanish - and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New York have to lose?
Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance, Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she met John.
Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating long-distance, he became the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child, and moved to New York to be a dad.
With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.
Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch's time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar is a refreshing version of the
happily ever afterstory that proves female comics - like bestsellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler - are truly having their moment.
