After truly enjoying their book America, I jumped at the chance to listen to this book. Ugh. Not worth it.
While there was one relatively funny chapter (Commerce) and a few laugh-out-loud moments (Thank you John Oliver!), the rest was just a tired meh. The satire was flat. The alien questions at the end of each chapter were suprisingly annoying. They should stick to political commentary and not try to branch out.

I listened to the audiobook and the FAQs (future alien questions) were my favorite parts of the book! John Stewart’s delivery was perfect. I did chuckle out loud a couple times, but overall it was too awkwardly arranged for my to really get into it.

Irreverent and funny as Jon Stewart and his team often are. Still, not a book so much to be read as flipped through.

I think the book is probably better than the audiobook; that it loses something in not being visual.

I loved America better, but DAMN this book was hilarious. Loved every bit.

Damn, I miss Jon Stewart.
Short of the inclusion of Sigourney Weaver, there's not much to recommend this over the physical copy. It's still good, though.

Not a fan! I tried this as an audiobook because the library had it and I've been on a comedy kick. The thing is...it wasn't funny. I don't have much experience with Jon Stewart and I won't be returning to his work. I find him to be a pompous and offensive prick whose approach at humor is to make fun of everything he can think of. I didn't enjoy this at all.

Listened to the audio book and found it quite amusing! Sigourney Weaver (I wish she would narrate my life), John Stewart, John Oliver and other Daily Show correspondents narrate. I particularly enjoyed the FAQs (Future Alien Questions).
