It used to be part of Massachusetts until 1820, when the U.S. John Hodgman: Right now you are reaching me in the state of Maine, which is a relatively new state. He’s been a regular contributor to The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and public radio’s This American Life, and his writing appears in venues like T he New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, and The Believer. John Hodgman is the host of the podcast Judge John Hodgman and the author of three books of fake facts, The Areas of My Expertise, More Information Than You Require, and That Is All. The exercise became a traveling one-man show called Vacationland, now expanded into a strange and very funny book-one that makes comedy out of the anxieties and indignities of middle age. A set of preoccupations emerged out of those early shows, material about being in one’s 40s, that unbearable threshold between youth and decrepitude. When he hit a creative impasse a few years ago, he booked a bunch of standup dates at a small venue with no idea what he’d perform. Hodgman developed Vacationland using a risky, trial-by-fire approach that required putting this philosophy into practice.
