John Hodgman spent so many of his efforts trying to “prepare” for us for an apocalypse that, alas, never came to pass. He revealed that he has come  to terms with this while on Conan in addition to start smoking weed.

Just as fascinating, one of Hodgman’s original day jobs, which was a so-called “traffic counter”, may or may not be a real job.

Setting sail at the tail end of Summer thanks to MaximumFun.org, Splitsider, and KCRW, The Atlantic Comedy & Music Festival will feature three nights of of Maria Bamford, John Hodgman, Marc Maron, Eugene Mirman, Kristen Schaal & Kurt Braunohler, and much more. Yes, it’ll cost a pretty penny or many more than that, but definitely would be our cruise trip of choice if we we’re going to spend for being on a boat.

Hopefully, this will redefine the stereotypes of being a cruise ship comedian.
