Watch the interview below.

Yeah, he is a great speaker and an accomplished writer. I also caught him recently on my local publicly funded Seattle Channel:

Agreed Rachel. John Hodgman's work is brilliant here as he manages to become the ultimate nerd.
The Ironic thing is I was starting to dismiss his segments on the Daily Show before this. His worked felt very 'dialed in' and unsatisfying.. Many happy returns Hodgman.
