Helpful Score: 4
I have to say, I was very disappointed with this book. I am a giant fan of Jon Stewart's comedy, both on the Daily Show and his standup and writings. When I discovered there was a book of his I didn't already own, I immediately ordered it from this website.
Sadly, it doesn't hold up to his levels of humor. There were one or two clever essays (Spring Break with the Kennedy's and the high school reunion spring to mind) which were brilliant, but sadly the rest were rather lackluster and lacking in humor. It's feels what would happen if Jon Stewart's comedy were watered down to a Family Guy level with very one dimensional "trying too hard" jokes.
