More about the book
From the bold and beloved comic and podcast star Greg Proops comes an electrifying collection of rapid-fire references, historical name-checking, and genuine wisdom. Known for his role on the hit improv show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and his award-winning podcast, “The Smartest Man in the World,” Proops is a fountain of historical knowledge and pop culture trivia. This book, inspired by his iTunes Top 10 podcast with over nine million downloads, serves as a rollicking reference guide to essential knowledge in Proops’s universe, covering everything from noteworthy figures of the ancient world and baseball to must-see movies and must-hear albums. Complete with juicy tales and curious back-stories, Proops emphasizes the merits of poetry and proper punctuation, delivering insights with his signature style. An off-beat and exuberant guide, this work equips readers with the knowledge to be the smartest person in the room—unless the Proopmaster is present.
