“A confession: I have a huge completely non-sexual crush on Jon Stewart. Anyone who enjoys The Daily Show would love this brief collection of comedic essays and vignettes, published just before Stewart took over TDS. Similar to some of Woody Allen's old essay collections. If TDS ever gets canceled, at least Stewart could make a living as a writer. ”

“Jon Stewart channeled Woody Allen's literary brilliance for this little book. Funny, cynical and nicely written.”

“I really enjoyed this collection of short essays by Jon Stewart. I'm not familiar with Jon Stewart's other endeavors so I can't compare the humor in this book to, say, his t.v. stuff. I can say this book was sarcastic, witty, and brought a smile to my face. A couple of my favorites out of this book are: The Last Supper, Or The Dead Waiter, about, well....the supposed Last Supper of Christ. I also really got a kick out of Adolf Hitler: The Larry King Interview. Funny stuff. Another good one is Breakfast At Kennedy's, written from the perspective of a boarding school chum of the teenage John F. Kennedy. The only thing I was left wondering at the end of the book was, where are those naked pictures of famous people? ”

“As can be expected of a collection of different essays, I really liked some of them and some I didn't. My favorite was the one about the revenge-filled high school reunion.”

“Laugh out loud funny - the man sitting beside me on my flight to Florida must think I'm nuts- I couldn't hold in the giggles! Yey!”
