John Hodgman

BY WW EDITORIAL STAFF | 503-243-2122

[November 5th, 2008]

You really should read: The Areas of My Expertise

How does a pudgy 37-year-old nerd with thick glasses and a weak chin turn into a national sensation overnight? Two words: Apple Computer. But TV commercials are just the latest platform for Hodgman’s evil genius. Unbeknownst to many, he has been disseminating hilarious misinformation for years: first as a literary agent, then as an author, and finally as a correspondent for The Daily Show. JOHN MINERVINI. 4 pm Saturday, Nov. 8. Powell’s Stage. 8 pm Saturday, Nov. 8. Live Wire (Aladdin Theater). $25.
