One of my new favorite people, John Hodgman, author of “My Areas of Expertise” and the genius behind “700 Hobo Names,” was on “The Daily Show” as a new correspondent and killed explaining how Iran was gonna get the bomb. It was only in December he was on as guest to plug his book and had Jon almost crying.

The shuffling correspondents on a trial-basis to replace Colbert and sub for pregers Sam Bee is starting to get on my nerves and it would be awesome if Hodgman was on all the time. He underplays every line so well, he has his own surreal take on the NPR-style commentator and within that he actually seems like he could be on a real news show. Little Nate Corddry is pretty good, Dimitri Martin is a great stand-up, but I’m not quite sure he fits on a news parody show and everybody is just a pale imitation of earlier correspondents, . Hodgman is awesome, he has a pre-wrapped persona unlike anybody else who has ever been on the show and an expansive knowledge of everything. Give the man a job.
