At the time, Hodgman was merely a  former literary agent and occasional scribbler of fake trivia. In  short: a nobody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut during an interview on \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Show\u003c\/i\u003e with Jon Stewart,  an incredible transformation occurred. He became a famous minor  television personality. You may ask: During his whirlwind tornado ride  through the high ether of minor fame and outrageous fortune, did John  Hodgman forget how to write books of fake trivia? The answer is: Yes.  Briefly. But soon, he remembered!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so he returned, crashing his Kansas farmhouse down upon the  wicked witch of ignorance with \u003ci\u003eMore Information Than You  Require\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller containing even more  mesmerizing and essential fake trivia, including seven hundred mole-man  names (and their occupations).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd now, John Hodgman completes his vision with \u003ci\u003eThat Is All\u003c\/i\u003e,  the last book in a trilogy of Complete World Knowledge. Like its  predecessors, \u003ci\u003eThat Is All\u003c\/i\u003e compiles incredibly handy made-up  facts into brief articles, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on  new and familiar themes. It picks up exactly where \u003ci\u003eMore  Information\u003c\/i\u003e left off-specifically, at page 596-and finally  completes COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE, just in time for the return of  Quetzalcoatl and the end of human history in 2012.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e16 Hours, Read by Dick Cavett, Patton Oswalt, Jon Hamm, Paul Rudd, Sarah Vowell, Brooke Shields, Scott Adsit,  Robin Goldwasser, Jonathan Coulton, John Roderick, Rachel Maddow, Wyatt Cenac, Stephen Fry, Paul F.
