    • Watch Patton Oswalt’s Appearance On The Daily Show

    Last night Patton Oswalt dropped by The Daily Show to talk to Jon Stewart about his new book, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland.

    The interview took a weird turn once Oswalt got on the topic of how his book was made, turns out it takes a factory of prisoner ghostwriters working around the clock to make things happen. Oh and another factoid he gave us, all the white supremacist gangs have the corner on humor books locked down. Patton Oswalt, teaching the youth of America.

    A Jon Stewart Joke Taken Literally By Glenn Beck

    I think we know what they are going to discuss on The Daily Show tonight. See, the paperback version of Glenn Beck’s book Arguing With Idiots was recently released and it appears Mr. Beck took a very tongue-in-cheek statement made by Jon Stewart on TDS and put it as a ringing endorsement for himself on the back of the book.

    Capturing ¡Satiristas!: An Interview With Comedy Photographer Dan Dion

    Too many books about stand-up comedy fall into one of two categories; the obviously phoned-in autobiography of some famous comedian used to pad bank accounts, or a hackneyed “how to” manual about telling jokes that is about as funny as a trainwreck (and not the hilarious kind). ¡Sataristas! doesn’t fall in either of those categories, it’s the kind of book that cuts through bullshit aspects of comedy and gets to the core of what comedians do and why they do it. It’s the Gray’s Anatomy of comedy literature, picking apart comedy into little bits in order to understand it as a whole.
