Ari Emanuel has long been one of the most influential people in the world, but he’s also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel’s job description. As Hollywood’s best-known super-agent—the inspiration for Ari Gold in the classic TV drama Entourage—he’s paid to speak for his A-list clients, not himself. Now, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the fero¬cious power broker, speaks for himself, about himself and about the game of life—often at the top of his lungs.
Emanuel's new book, Roll the Calls, is being released today, September 22. All 2027 attendees will receive a FREE copy. In Roll the Calls, his take-no-prisoners memoir, Eman-uel tells the incredible stories behind the signings and fir¬ings, the triumphant mergers and nasty breakups, the hard-won victories and crushing mistakes. With great comic zest, and in precise cinematic detail, he traces the arc of a classic rags-to-riches career, from suffering through severe dyslexia, to clerking in the mail¬room of CAA, to striking out on his own with three fellow agents, launching a new talent agency, Endeavor, that would go on to represent some of the most glittering names in show busi¬ness, including Larry David, Quentin Tarantino, Denzel Washington, Billie Eilish, Martin Scorsese and Oprah Win¬frey. Along the way, Emanuel was also raising four kids, fighting and reconciling with friends and colleagues, coping with a failing marriage, and struggling to find love again. Roll the Calls is a fable about success and failure, about creativity and persistence and a master class in how to ignore the haters, how to overcome withering self-doubt and, at moments of profound crisis and despair, how to be a fearless advocate for your most vulnerable client: yourself. This will be Emanuel's first appearance at RMWF.
