NPR Funniest Driveway Moments

Some of the funniest moments by the funniest people--Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Lily Tomlin, Sarah Silverman, and more--make their way into this audiobook. These treasures are collected primarily from "Morning Edition," "Weekend Edition," and "All Things Considered." Listeners will love hearing "little Scott Simon" come completely undone under the tender ministrations of Dame Edna. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer tries to answer questions in the rock-and-roll category on "Wait, Wait . . . Don't Tell Me!" And if that isn't funny enough, try conversations hosted by NPR favorites Susan Stamberg, Tony Cox, Madeleine Brand, and Robert Siegel with such somber-pusses as Jonathan Winters, Carl Reiner, Phyllis Diller, Richard Pryor, Darryl Littleton, Billy Connolly, and Demetri Martin. If laughter is curative, take two tracks and call me in the morning. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
