JOHN HODGMAN: Seriously Funny, Part 1
Manage episode 445746496 series 3507422
John Hodgman has made a wonderful career out of telling us things that are not true: as the “Resident Expert” and then “Deranged Millionaire” on The Daily Show and the author of three fun books of fake trivia. His warm and clever wit are on display each week on the podcast Judge John Hodgman. He is a thoughtful and compelling interview, especially when discussing his early influences, including the TV show Dr. Who, the writer Jorge Luis Borges and a Peter Cook/Dudley Moore comedy bit that “reshaped” his brain. It all started in a Brookline, Massachusetts home where his parents allowed his creative side to flourish, And it’s never stopped.
