“I love the Colbert Report and the Daily Show, as well, and so my wife knew that I really wanted to read something funny and just kind of escape from all the pressures of work, so I Am America (And So Can You!) is basically about Stephen Colbert and his philosophy on life. So if you look at the writing credits, it looks like basically the whole set of writers on the show ended up contributing to it. For those not familiar with the Colbert Report, it's really a parody of, in general, a lot of the blowhards that exist on the regular news channels. The book is, again, just a spoof on those types of macho, right-wing conservative talk show pundits. I would recommend I Am America (And So Can You!) to any fan of the Colbert Report or the Daily Show. Just the flow I think probably I guess is the best way to describe how I liked the I Am America (And So Can You!). It had a nice little thing going on where as you would be reading it would be footnoted all over the place. There would be comments in the margins and stuff, so he'd make some outrageous claim and then in the margins put some type of rebuttal or just a funny little witticism. I would give I Am America (And So Can You!) four stars out of five.”
