Naked Pictures of Famous People | Jon Stewart
8 posts | 14 read | 8 to read
In these nineteen whip-smart essays, Jon Stewart takes on politics, religion, and celebrity with a seethingly irreverent wit, a brilliantsense of timming, and a palate for the obsurd -- and these one-of-a-kind forays into his hilarious world will expose you to all its wickedly naked truths. He's the MTV generation's master of modern humor, a star of film, TV, and the comedy stage. This sultan of savvy serves up a whip-smart, utterly original collection of comic essays in Naked Pictures of Famous People. And as of January 11, 1999, you can enjoy the intelligence and self-deprecating charm he brings to contemporary comedy on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." In his first book, he translates that unique talent to the page, with humorous forays into a vast array of subjects: fashion, urban life, fast cars, cocktail culture, modern Jewishness, politics, and dating. A seethingly irreverent wit, Stewart has a genius for language and brilliant timing that makes his up-to-the-minute collection a must-have for humor lovers in search of a Woody Allen for the 90s.He's the MTV generation's master of modern humor, a star of film, TV, and the comedy stage.

I picked this up at a garage sale years ago because I liked Jon Stewart back in his Daily Show days (which he is back).
It is a collection of 19 satirical essays about the Kennedys, Hitler, Hanson, The Last Supper, Bill Gates and more. I read a couple during breaks at work. It was good enough to entertain me for my breaks, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get this book.

A very good collection of funny ideas for a short stories, written by one of America's great political satirists. Don't expect too much of his politics to come through however.

A quick, funny, and often inappropriate set of short stories about various famous people. Plenty of commentary on religion and culture that actually made me laugh out loud.
My favorites include the real story about the Last Supper, Da Vinci's lost inventions, and Larry King's interview with Hitler. 👍👍

I'm in the mood for something light and funny next. I picked this up at a used book sale last summer and just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I saw Jon Stewart speak several years ago, I just 💜 him! I'm sure this won't disappoint.

Before he took over and transformed The Daily Show, he wrote an amazing, hysterical book of short stories. Makes me smile every time. Also guffaw. #augustphotochallenge #augustofpages

Laalaleighh I have the biggest crush on him. He's old enough to be my father and I don't even care. 8y
