Fred Schneider on The Daily Show

So, did anyone else catch the incredibly nervous Fred Schneider from the B-52's last night on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart?

He was reading passages aloud from former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's
new book 'What Happened'. Apparently Stewart felt the memoir could use some 'punching up' and that's where a awkwardly book-gripping Schneider came in, hollering in his signature vocal style, phrases like "I ran into Scooter Libby!" over a musical track. To view it, see The Huffington Post here.

If only all political audiobooks were read by Schneider, I think sales would go through the roof. If nothing else, it would sure be a lot more fun to dance to them in a club.
