It's kind of hard for me to read "funny" books. I don't always laugh when I read them as words. This book was alright, but I feel as if it might have been better listened to, or with some sort of visual to accompany it. It was OK, but not amazing.

Hi-larious!  John Stewert's typical brilliantly witty and mischievous style.  Can read it again and again and pick up new jokes.

Jon Stewart is a genius hands down. I don't care what people say, his essays and their satirical wit are truly rewarding. Most people don't get him.

Hitler with Larry King and Martha Stewars Vagina are instant classics and examples of how comedy works, even in bookform.

I laughed until I stopped.                 Totally hilarious book.  Reminiscent of Woddy Allen and Steve Martin...only better.

Ya i said it.  Back off!

I read this straight through in about 3 hours.  It was probably a lot funnier when it first came out in 1998.  Still, it was amusing, and unexpected enough to keep me reading.

Hilarious, loved the story with the Kennedy's, Princess Di and Mother Teresa, and of course the Hanson Christmas!
