People must have thought I was crazy reading this book at the airport. Could not stop laughing.

Stewart's book is smart, tight, witty, and spot-on when he goes for aggressive satire. His most brutal parody is Hitler: the Larry King Interview, which might be offensive if it wasn't EXACTLY what Hitler would say today on such a show! His re-telling of the Last Supper from the point of view of a bitchy waiter was also a great new take on an old story.However I couldn't help drawing strong parallels to Woody Allen's books (Getting Even, Side Effects, Without Feathers) which predate Stewart's by 20-35 years. Their intellectual prose voices are eerily identical in places, and they both have an affinity for replacing setup-punchline with setup-non sequitor (to great comic effect). In particular, Stewart's "Cult" scene seems almost stenciled directly from Allen's "My Apology" (in which the authors imagine themselves as the leader of a bizarre cult and Socrates, respectively, and then try to talk their way out of getting killed.) Like Stewart, Allen also wrote a fish-out-of-water story featuring Van Gogh: he re-wrote Vincent's letters to his brother as if they were both dentists. In Stewart's more contemporary version, he sends a virtual Vincent to match wits with the verbal showmanship in real chat rooms.So, in short, Stewart comes across as a very talented and perhaps a bit more topical Allen protege. But if you like this, and you have not read Without Feathers, shame on you!

While Jon Stewart became much more famous after writing this book, the book still stands as an early work, and we have to read it without him revising it. Truth to tell, most of the humor in it is simply not funny, but tries too hard to be funny despite that. There is one very funny piece, about a man who wants to take revenge on his high-school class at their 20th reunion. Other than that, I thought it was a snore. His show is much funnier.

As funny as Jon Stewart is on TV, he's even funnier in print. The man's a comic genius. I just kept thinking as I was reading, "How does he think this stuff up?" He skewers some pretty sacred cows in this book, like the Kennedys, who I usually don't like to see raked over the coals because I like them, but I couldn't help laughing at his portrayal of their overpopulation and exaggerated athleticism. I think even the Kennedys would have to laugh at this story. A good, quick read that will make you laugh from the belly.

I LIKE Jon Stewart. I DESPISE this book. Utter garbage.

This is the first JS book I read which happed to be on an airplane. The guy next to me made a comment to me when I was completed that he heard the snickers and wanted to know who wrote it. Great read. My fav of the three that I own. And yes I have the teachers ed. Love this guy.

This book is amazing! I wish I had a hardcover version (my mistake) because it is something I cherished for years. I need to re order my copy as my old one fell apart. You seriously won't regret how hilarious it is.
