John Hodgman is
an American author, actor, and humorist.
The publication of his latest book, THAT IS ALL, caps off his trilogy
(Books One and Two: THE AREAS OF MY EXPERTISE and MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU
REQUIRE, respectively) of satirical almanacs that chronicle Complete World
Knowledge with each page including a fictionalized calendar of events leading
to the end of the world (Ragnarok) on December 21, 2012. Each book in the series was a New York Times
Bestseller. John is also known for his
personification of a PC in contrast to Justin Long's personification of a Mac
in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertising campaign, and for his
correspondent work on Comedy Central's THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART. Most
recently, John appeared on HBO’s BORED TO DEATH. His work has also appeared in McSweeney’s,
The Paris Review, The New York Times Magazine, and on NPR’s THIS AMERICAN LIFE.
