Boo! Happy Halloween, and wishing you all treats and no tricks. I’m so happy to be back, and my sincerest thanks to CN Helper for living up to her name and saving me last week by doing this post.
I’ve just been over the moon lately with the show; Stephen’s been at his edgiest and funniest, taking the Report to new heights. I didn’t think something so wonderful could keep on getting better, but it is, week by week. On this anniversary of the great Rally to Keep Fear Alive–oh, okay, to Restore Sanity, too–I feel so grateful to Stephen and Jon for continuing to fight the good fight. (And Jon has recently been at his very best, too. What combined joy.)
I’m very, very happy with this week’s guest list, particularly Yo-Yo Ma and Nathan Wolfe. There’s nothing to equal a great musician and an esteemed scientist on the Report. And by the way, it looks as if the show’s booker is creating a music day each week. Maybe that’s just a matter of chance in the past month, but I’m hoping it will continue.
Now, everyone: have you ever had more fun with “The Star-Spangled Banner” than you did with Stephen and Toby Keith? No–I didn’t think so! Onward to the guests… Read more

TDS Contributor, mustache enthusiast and all round expert John Hodgman has written a new book, “That Is All”.
John Hodgman-bestselling author, The Daily Show’s “Resident Expert”, minor television celebrity, and deranged millionaire-brings us the third and final installment in his trilogy of Complete World Knowledge.
In 2005, Dutton published The Areas of My Expertise, a handy little book of Complete World Knowledge, marked by the distinction that all of the fascinating trivia and amazing true facts were completely made up by its author, John Hodgman. At the time, Hodgman was merely a former literary agent and occasional scribbler of fake trivia. In short: a nobody.
But during an interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, an incredible transformation occurred. He became a famous minor television personality. You may ask: During his whirlwind tornado ride through the high ether of minor fame and outrageous fortune, did John Hodgman forget how to write books of fake trivia? The answer is: Yes. Briefly. But soon, he remembered!
And so he returned, crashing his Kansas farmhouse down upon the wicked witch of ignorance with More Information Than You Require, a New York Times bestseller containing even more mesmerizing and essential fake trivia, including seven hundred mole-man names (and their occupations).
And now, John Hodgman completes his vision with That Is All, the last book in a trilogy of Complete World Knowledge. Like its predecessors, That Is All compiles incredibly handy made-up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar.

“Flipboard is one of the most useful and innovative applications created to date for the iPad,” said Erik Flannigan, EVP digital media, Viacom Media Networks Entertainment Group. “The new Colbert Nation section combines tweets from the show, from Stephen’s own Twitter account and video clips of recent episodes into a magazine-like experience optimized for tablets. We think fans of the show will find the Flipboard edition of Colbert Nation highly browsable and addictive.”
Flipboard offers a new way to discover and share Colbert Report videos and social content. It’s an honor to work with Colbert Nation and a great opportunity to launch new forms of advertising,” said Evan Doll, co-founder, Flipboard.
“Our strong relationships with COMEDY CENTRAL and Flipboard make it a natural fit for us as ‘The Colbert Report’ makes the leap to the Flipboard platform,” said Mike Sundet, senior director, Bud Light. “Colbert Nation is already such a well-connected audience. We’re excited about our role in finding another way to help deliver them the fun and entertaining content that has made the show a cultural phenomenon.”
