Book Description:

This “Six Degrees” contest features the writings of one of the writers for ‘The Daily Show’, Rob Kutner. According to the bio on Kutner’s web site:

Rob Kutner is a four-time Emmy-award-winning writer for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and contributor to its bestseller, America (The Book). He has also written for HBO’s “Dennis Miller Live,” as well as humor and feature pieces for the Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Esquire, and Maxim.Ê He has collaborated with his wife, TV writer/producer Sheryl Zohn (“Straight Plan for the Gay Man,” “Penn & Teller: Bullshit!”), on the comedy short “The Last Parody,” and the Raw Impressions movie musical “Til Birth Do Us Part.”

What you’ll be receiving if you win this contest is what they call in the book business the F&G’s or the Folded and Gathered sheets, which is basically the entire contents of the book, unbound and in folded sheets format and graciously provided for the NFZ readers by the book’s publisher, Running Press. I did go ahead and put the books in a comb bind but that was mostly to keep the pages from scattering all over the floor. Which is bad. Trust me. But this is the preview version of pretty much the entire book.

And the book is so much fun! Imagine a “Worst-Case Scenario” book, written by, well, a ‘Daily Show’ writer. He tells how to prepare for the worst disasters possible (handy board game guide on p. 144), how to prepare to serve your new robot overlords (and get into shape!, p. 103), and how to prepare your neighbor Steve as a tasty main course, provided he is free from radiation or disease (p. 28 – “Steve Tartare” recipe). The book is packed with hilarious graphics and will keep your attention from beginning to end.

Amazon had these blurbs to go along with the book:

“A great read. Don’t cower in your lead-shielded, ape-proof bunker without it.”
-Jon Stewart

“For years now, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out whether Rob is a better guy or a better humorist. This cinches it, he is a far better humorist. I laughed, I most assuredly did not cry.”
-Dennis Miller

This contest is a starter promotion for this book, and when the book releases we plan on having another giveaway contest, and an exclusive interview with the author, ‘Daily Show’ writer Rob Kutner. And this contest gives you an opportunity to see the book before anyone else – own a piece of comedy history!
