Description
In these nineteen whip-smart essays, Jon Stewart takes on politics, religion, and celebrity with a seethingly irreverent wit, a brilliant sense of timing, and a palate for the absurd.
The former Daily Show host Jon Stewart brings his unique talent to the page in Naked Pictures of Famous People--humorous forays into a vast array of subjects, including fashion, urban life, fast cars, cocktail culture, modern Jewishness, politics, and dating. These one-of-a-kind forays into his hilarious world will expose you to all of its wickedly naked truths. Stewart's ode to all things random, is an inspired work of enlightened lunacy, and a hilarious one at that.

Reviews
"Brutally witty...On a par with Woody Allen's Without Feathers and Steve Martin's Cruel Shoes... Naked Pictures reveals a basic truth that's too oftenforgotten by the shock-for-shock's-sake satirists of the South Park era: You've got to be smart to be a smart ass." -- "Entertainment Weekly""Jon Stewart eschews the standard standup patter and instead gives us 18 short comic essays in a variety of styles that recall the prose work of WoodyAllen... Stewart proves himself a remarkably nimble humorist with a sharp eye for parody... It's wonderful to see an edgy comedian taking on thetraditionally cozy genre of the humorous essay, creating work that combines the wit of Robert Benchley with the energy and attitude of the best modernstandup." -- Amazon.com"Terrific night table reading for lovers of intelligent satire... smart... refreshingly offensive... unapologetically un-PC... a gift for just about anyone." -- "Austin Chronicle"
