Ahh…you see, this is where you make your fundamental mistake, grasshopper. Let us go back to the ancient Hodgmanist Koan: ‘If you see Hodgman on the road, kill him’.

And I think what they were trying to say is that we will all see Hodgman on the road because Hodgman lives in each one of us. Every time someone says, ‘I’m a Mac and I’m a PC’, Hodgman will be there. Every time you walk into a huge building and you see a hastily scrawled hobo sign on the door letting you know that someone on the third floor will give you food and a shower, Hodgman is there with you. And every time you turn on The Daily Show and Hodgman is not on, Hodgman is still with us in some kind of spirit informing The Daily Show just as Hodgman is here right now.

I might be Hodgman. You might be Hodgman.

Great Speeches & Other Outbursts

caoine:

Last week I went to Great Speeches & Other Outbursts, a benefit for 826NYC that consisted of delightful people from NPR, The Daily Show, and everywhere else reading famous speeches and essays, and all sorts of other things. Highlights for me included Ira Glass reading Lincoln, Bobby Cannavale and Eric Bogosian re-enacting an interview with Woody Allen and Billy Graham, and John Oliver showing off his fancy accent. But without question, the best moment of the evening was John Hodgman reading Teddy Roosevelt’s “strenuous life” speech, complete with shouting and added push-up breaks.

gatsbylives: tj: zuhl: Saturday night John freaking Hodgamn, the world famous deranged millionaire who had already freaked me out the previous evening by remembering me and greeting me by name even though I wasn’t even wearing my name tag at the time, sat down beside me and said something to the effect of, “I’m sad we haven’t had a chance to talk this year.” I’m just reblogging the part where you misspelled “Hodgman” because that’s what an arch-nemesis does.  For TJ and Zuhl — Me, my pal Mary Beth, and Hodgman, hanging out at Politics and Prose in DC. (We had collaborated with him on a thing and we wanted to thank him in person, so we brought him a Tin Tin book since TT was one of his fave book characters when he was growing up… which explains why he isn’t holding his OWN book in this photo.) That is all.

perpetua: Earlier this evening I went to The Talent Show at Littlefield in Park Slope. This particular show was an elaborate game of truth or dare, and the highlights included John Hodgman revealing exactly how much money he made last year (a lot!), Elna Baker trying to remember the names of the first five US presidents while holding a snake, Eugene Mirman dressing a rat in doll clothes, and Ira Glass being forced to pretend to be on a date with Hodgman, and have photos taken that would be immediately posted to Twitter. Great show!

"The event was moderated by my friend John Hodgman. I hadn’t seen him in a few years and we’d been griping about how we couldn’t get a drink. And we both had the same thought: He whipped out a bottle of whiskey, I whipped out a bottle of whiskey. He whipped out some glasses, I whipped out some glasses. We sent an audience member to get ice. He’d brought Basil Hayden’s bourbon, I brought the bottle of Hudson Rye, and we drank mine because when you’re in New York, you might as well drink local."
