Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words was a one-hour comedy television special which premiered on December 5, 2005 on Bravo. The show featured comedians reading actual excerpts from celebrity autobiographies. The special was based on a live show written by Eugene Pack which began in Los Angeles in 1998.

Excerpts were chosen because of their melodramatic and/or vacuous nature. Autobiographies which were connected (like former Hollywood couple Burt Reynolds' and Loni Anderson's memoirs) were read together.

Celebrities whose autobiographies were read included Burt Reynolds, Loni Anderson, members of 'N Sync, Madonna, Sylvester Stallone, Mr. T, Elizabeth Taylor, Kathie Lee Gifford, Ivana Trump, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Vanna White, Kenny Loggins, Tommy Lee and David Cassidy. Comedians included Bruce Vilanch, Jay Mohr, Cheryl Hines, Kevin Nealon, Doris Roberts, Fred Willard, Niecy Nash, Kel Mitchell, Laraine Newman and Andrea Martin.
