I Edited That Together to Make You Look Foolish
I didn't read John Hodgman's first book, The Areas of My Expertise, but Nate liked it and I usually accept that as a decent predictor for my eventually reading it and liking it. I haven't read Hodgman's second book either, but he does a pretty funny promotional bit about it on the Daily Show.
I like that this comes off as a kind of abstracted comedy bit. Make sure you read the text at the bottom of the screen during the Rachel Maddow interview.
Elsewhere, a pretty interesting Onion AV Club interview with Hodgman.

This episode of This American Life has a great piece from John Hodgman about suddenly becoming famous. I also highly recommend Sarah Vowell's piece on the mapmaker who accompanied the Fremont expeditions.
An older, also very funny talk show meta-interview is this David Cross spot on Carson Daly in which he purports to instruct the Arrested Development kids on how to engage in a chat-em-up promotional spot.
