John Hodgmanis a writer, comedian, and actor. He is the author of threeNew York Timesbestselling books-The Areas of My Expertise,More Information Than You Require, andThat Is All.After an appearance to promote his books onThe Daily Show, he was invited to return as a contributor, serving as the show’s “Resident Expert” and “Deranged Millionaire.” This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career before the camera. He has performed comedy for the president of the United States, at a TED conference, and in a crypt in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Finally, he is the host of the popularJudge John Hodgmanpodcast, in which he settles serious disputes between real people, such as “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” and “Should we tell our children the TRUTH about Santa Claus?” He also contributes a weekly column under the same name forThe New York Times Magazine. He is currently working on a memoir,Vacationland, which will be published in October 2017.
