Tyrus opens What It Is, America with stories from his cross-country tour performing his sold-out one-man show. He meets Americans from every background and shares their experiences through his trademark unfiltered storytelling. The collection reveals how these encounters shape his view of the nation's character. Tyrus holds politicians accountable regardless of party affiliation while celebrating the connections he makes on the road. He tackles current events with sharp wit and shares lessons from his difficult upbringing. The book includes behind-the-scenes moments from his television work, including his encounter with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump on the Gutfeld show. Through colorful anecdotes and candid observations, Tyrus navigates American politics and addresses controversial topics with his bare-knuckle approach. The stories capture his journey as he flies the flag of common sense and fearlessly speaks truth to power.
