Following an appearance to promote one of his books on The Daily Show, he was invited to return as a contributor. This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career in front of the camera that has lasted to this very day, or at least until 2016. In these pages, Hodgman explores the strangeness of his career, speaking plainly of fame, especially at the weird, marginal level he enjoyed it. Through these stories you will learn many things that only John Hodgman knows, such as how to prepare for a nude scene with an oboe, or what it feels like to go to a Hollywood party and realize that you are not nearly as famous as the Property Brothers, or, for that matter, those two famous corgis from Instagram. And there are stories about how, when your television gig is canceled, you can console yourself with the fact that all of that travel that made your young son so sad at least left you with a prize: platinum medallion status with your airline. Both unflinchingly funny and deeply heartfelt, Medallion Status is a thoughtful examination of status, fame, and identity--and about the way we all deal with those moments when we realize we aren't platinum status anymore and will have to get comfortable in that middle seat again"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hodgman, John. 650 0 $a Fame $v Humor. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 21st century $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Television personalities $z United States $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Humorists, American $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a American wit and humor. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 11 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409034122.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063043.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200303014845.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010740.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204095542.0 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20200114013630.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110082257.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191231011639.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20191113011442.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20191113010348.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191018010200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=97F1A23AF16C11E99671E53E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
