Summary

Greg Proops is a comedian best known for starring on the hit improv-comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and for his popular podcast "The Smartest Man in the World." But he is also a fountain of historical knowledge, a spring of pop-culture non-sequiturs, and a generally charming know-it-all. The Smartest Book in the World, based on his podcast, is a rollicking reference guide to the most essential areas of knowledge in the Proopsonian universe, from the noteworthy names of the ancient world and baseball, to the movies you must see and the albums you must spin.--From publisher description
