Weekend Treat: John Hodgman on “The Nerd President”
Posted: June 20, 2009 Filed under: Department of Broadcast | Tags: John Hodgman, nerds, the daily show, weekend treat Leave a comment »“You people do an amazing job, but you’re not asking the hard questions about this President’s nerd credentials.”
-From John Hodgman’s keynote at the Radio and TV Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C.
John Hodgman devoted his time at last night’s #nerdprom2 to try and determine if Obama is the leader of the new “Revenge of the Nerds” or a jock. Worth every minute.
Great quotes:
“He’s not only comfortable with technology, but he’s apparently addicted to his name brand smart phone that I shall not name for contractual reasons.”
“At this very moment, the fate of Iran is strangely entwined with the sleep schedules of the geeks who maintain the servers at Twitter and YouTube.”
