About this item

Bob Odenkirk is a legend in the comedy-writing world, winning Emmys and acclaim for his work on Saturday Night Live, Mr. Show with Bob and David, and many other seminal TV shows. This book, his first, is a spleen-bruisingly funny omnibus that ranges from absurdist monologues Martin Luther King, Jrs Worst Speech Ever to intentionally bad theater Hitler Dinner Party A Play from avant-garde fiction Obituary for the Creator of Madlibs to free-verse poetry thats funnier and more powerful than the work of Calvin Trillin, Jewel, and Robert Louis Stevenson combined. Odenkirks debut resembles nothing so much as a hilarious new sketch comedy show thats exclusively available as a streaming video for your mind. As Odenkirk himself writes in The Second Coming of Jesus and Lazarus, it is a book to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart.
