Do you love The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? (Like, who doesn’t, right? Only morons don’t, right?) While Jon Steward is silly and stuff – you should probs thank David Javerbaum for everything that you love about The Daily Show. Javerbaum served as the show’s head writer and executive producer from 2002 – 2009.
He also wrote episodes for the relaunch of Beavis and Butthead and has won a shit-ton of Emmys Awards and, like, nine Peabody Awards. He’s totally prestigious and pretty fucking funny.
Oh, and he’s godlike – but, for real.
After authoring a string of successful satirical books, on his latest effort Javerbaum teamed up with—of all people—God. Yup, the big man. Together Javerbaum and God penned The Last Testament: A Memoir. God used Javerbaum as his mortal amanuensis to break his break his 1,400-year literary silence.
God chose you to speak through. Out of all the earthlings, why did he contact you?
We have the same agent. God heard that I had left The Daily Show and that I was looking for work. And he was looking for someone who could do some comedy because he isn’t all that funny. So he asked me to punch up some of his jokes.
What was it like working with God on his memoir?
Uhh…he’s in the room right now so I’m not at liberty to discuss that, fully. I mean, he’s in every room. Everywhere. So it’s kind of hard for me to ever feel comfortable talking about him, you know? I’ll just say he was a great boss and in no way made me feel like an inferior creature.
That’s good to hear. Plus, having God as a reference on your resume looks great.
Yeah, pretty much. Like, he’s at the top. Of everything.
Did he mention what the toughest parts of his job were?
Yeah. The hours. They’re pretty strenuous. And he’s sick of being summoned during sneezes and ejaculations.
You (and God) will be at Church of Boston on February 6th. God has professed that he’s 15% gay for one of Boston’s newest residents Ryan Reyonlds. What is it about Ryan that gets God’s holy blood pumping?
Well, he didn’t tell me too much…so I guess I’ll just quote him directly. He said that, “Ryan Reynolds is fucking hot.” That is exactly what God said.
God put you in charge of his Twitter account, @TheTweetOfGod. He only follows one human; Justin Bieber. Why is Biebs the chosen one?
God only follows close relatives.
That makes sense. Speaking of relatives, does God have any insight as to Khloe Kardashian’s biological father might be?
He hasn’t said anything to me, but I’m sure he knows who her father is. He’s omniscient, obviously. And part of the omniscience that he hates the most, is the obligation he has to keep up with the Kardashians. If he could, he would rather not be keeping up with the Kardashians.
