John Hodgman
To want to become the President is, I think, such a bizarre ambition that it is automatically deranging.
John Hodgman
I suspect that when the truth ceases to be heartbreakingly funny, we will be in a better place and a happier society over all.
John Hodgman
Sports is a bloodless rehearsal of confrontation, and everyone shakes hands or high fives or fist bumps at the end to show that everything is okay.
John Hodgman
I am someone who values truth - actual truth as opposed to 'truthiness.'

Terry Gross. I would rush home from high school to listen to Terry Gross.

Most people presume my mustache is not real because it's much darker than my regular hair.
John Hodgman
I've made my evolutionary purpose and had children. I don't care if anybody likes me, I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to do a whole comedy show about swimming in the loathsomely cold waters of Maine.
John Hodgman
My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.
