Okay, okay, you love David Sedaris. Enough already. Yes, he’s a funny writer and storyteller. So was Hitler. (Slam! It’s my Internet now, bitches!)

We can all agree that This American Life is something we wouldn’t mind backlash-hating but can’t because it’s just too good. We can all agree on this. We can also all, somewhat less enthusiastically, agree that David Sedaris is a funny fellow who deserves his success. I mean, if you’re going to rank people who deserve to be successful on account of talent, drive, and (at least feigned) humility, he would be pretty close to the top. (Most deserving of success and all-time 100% backlash-proof: fellow TAL contributor John Hodgman. Least deserving of success: John Rzeznik, lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls. It’s scientifically proven. (FYI: Did you know that Goo Goo Dolls have had 7 top 40 hits? Challenge: sing one of them.))

But for my money, the best TAL life contributor award goes to Jon Ronson. The piece he does about the guy in the insane asylum for this week’s episode is a classic. You must also hear the piece he did about his high school reunion. And then go to his website and listen to everything else he’s ever done. And then call me and say, “you’re right, he’s the best. I will never speak of David Sedaris again, even though he’s actually pretty good, too.”

And when you’re all done with that, listen to Kaspar Hauser’s hilarious TAL parodies and be happy that the Internet is such a magical wonderland of nonstop entertainment.
