Before he went on television, John Hodgman was a simple writer, expert and former professional literary agent living in New York City. In this capacity he has served as the humour editor for The New York Times Magazine; an occasional public radio personality for This American Life; an advice columist for McSweeney's; and a freelance journalist specializing in food, non-wine alcohol, Battlestar Galactica and most other subjects. This was enough of a career for any human. But then he wrote a book of COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE entitled The Areas of My Expertise and was asked to appear on The Daily Show where he continues to provide commentary as the show's "resident expert".
'Hodgman is funny, clever, and has the face of a giant baby' - Ricky Gervais 'An exercise in a certain kind of genius that I truly do appreciate ... A very enjoyable thing to read' - Jon Stewart, The Daily Show 'John Hodgman brings more than mere laughter to the world. He also brings a whole world: one of strange melancholy and unexpected beauty and the scope and meticulous consistency of the deranged' - Dave Eggers
