John Kellogg Hodgman (born June 1971) is an American author and humorist who is best known for his personification of a PC in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertising campaign and his correspondent work on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
His written work has been published in One Story to which he contributed the debut story, The Paris Review, McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, Wired and The New York Times Magazine, for which he is editor of the humor section. He is also a contributor to Public Radio International’s This American Life, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Wiretap. His first book, The Areas of My Expertise, for which he also performs the audio narration, was published in 2005.
In addition, Hodgman is the founder of, and master of ceremonies for, The Little Gray Book Lectures in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The lectures have been on hiatus "for the foreseeable future," however, as of August 2007. (Originally reported as lasting until "at least Jan. 1, 2007" due to Hodgman's many new projects, according to a notification posted on littlegraybooks.com as early as September 2006.)
