Jon Stewart, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Audiobook)

  • 2010
  • | Publisher: Hachette Audio

A humorous guide to the planet and the people who screwed it up
When the aliens come to take over Earth, and they will, they’ll need an owning/operating manual for their new blue and green sphere. The writers of “The Daily Show” helpfully provide that with Earth, a humorous comprehensive guide to the planet and the people who screwed it up. While the audio version may lack the visual charms of the hardcover, there are plenty of audio treats for listeners like many familiar “Daily Show” voices (John Oliver, Samantha Bee, John Stewart, for instance) and, inexplicably, the dulcet tones of Sigourney Weaver providing additional narrative support. The book also provides FAQs for the aliens as well as a tittering laughter soundtrack for words like “Uranus” and “Lake Titicaca.”
