Book Reviews of The Daily Show and Philosophy: Moments of Zen in the Art of Fake News
Book Review: Real Philosophy, Srsly!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a real philosophical analysis of the humor and also the information of the Daily Show. Fans will love it because it gives great respect for our hero, John Stewart, including comparing him to philosophers of the past. If you have a friend who does not appreciate the Daily Show, buy this book and quote a few pithy passages from it as your arguments in favor of giving the show another chance. John Stewart is a genius, and the book makes it clear why.
