John Hodgman and the Media Geeks

The World

Geeks deserve more credit than they probably get. That’s the that argument John Hodgman ? writer, actor, comedian, and self-professed nerd ? took to the president this weekend, the supposed Nerd in Chief, when he was the keynote speaker at the annual Radio and TV Correspondent’s dinner in Washington. John Hodgman joins us, fresh from his stint. (He came after the President, he’ll have you know.)
