This was Isaacson's fifth appearance on the Daily Show? Does anyone know what his other appearances were about?

I am finally reading a book that was promoted on The Daily Show. And it is pretty good.

I would imagine they were about the other biographies he wrote.

Yep, so either install it on your computer and watch it, or if you have a device that doesn't have that basic functionality, find one that does if you want to see it.

You should run for government. At least someone will finally have common sense there.

Cracked me up!

It's a page-turner. I find myself all over the place though (skipping over to read other parts that I know will interest me [ipod/ipad sections])... but I have the digital version so I'm got bookmarks and notes all over the place. Lovin' it!

Steve would crying in his grave seeing the only way to see interviews about his book is via flash.

Excellent book

I am finally reading a book that was promoted on The Daily Show. And it is pretty good.

I am UK based so don't get the show here (at least not legally) but I can say, as somebody who generally does not read bio books, this one is a cracker.... very insightful. What scares me though is how much of his character is in me.... I wish I had his success though !
