Summary:
"From
Greg
Proops
, creator of the Smartest Man in the World podcast, an electrifying, thought-provoking, and unrelenting collection of rapid-fire references, historical name-checking and genuine wisdom. American comedian
Greg
Proops
is best known as the star of the improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? But
Proops
is also a fountain of historical knowledge and a generally charming know-it-all. This book is a rollicking reference guide to the most essential areas of knowledge in Proops’s universe, from the noteworthy names of the ancient world and baseball, to the movies you must see and the albums you must hear. Complete with history's juiciest tales and curious back-stories,
Proops
expounds on the merits of poetry and proper punctuation, delivering this wealth of information with his signature style and Proopsian panache. An off-beat and exuberant guide to everything, The Smartest Book in the World gives you everything you need to know to always be the smartest person in the room. Well, unless the Proopmaster is there, too"--Provided by publisher.
