SMARTEST BOOK IN THE WORLD
PROOPS, GREG
From the brazen, bold, and beloved comic and podcast star Greg Proops comes an electrifying, thought-provoking, and unrelenting collection of rapid-fire references, historical name-checking, Satchel Paige bon mots, and genuine wisdom.
Greg Proops is an internationally renowned comedian, best known for starring on the hit improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and for his popular award-winning podcast, The Smartest Man in the World, which Rolling Stone called some of the boldest comedy on the podcasting frontier right now. But Proops is also a fountain of historical knowledge, a wealth of pop culture trivia, and a generally charming know-it-all.
The Smartest Book in the World is based on Proopss sensational, iTunes Top 10 podcast that has been downloaded more than nine million times, in which his bold, never-boring voice takes center stage (The New York Times). The book is a rollicking reference guide to the most essential areas of knowledge in Proopss universe, from the noteworthy names of the ancient world and baseball, to the movies you must see and the albums you must hear.
Complete with historys juiciest tales and curious back-stories, Proops expounds on the merits of poetry and proper punctuation, delivering this wealth of information with his signature style and Proopsian panache. An off-beat and exuberant guide to everything, The Smartest Book in the World gives you everything you need to know to always be the smartest person in the room. Well, unless the Proopmaster is there, too.
