borowitz report


borowitz report

Andy Borowitz seemed destined to become one of the biggest names in Hollywood. But he walked away from that glitz and glamour. And is now merely one of the funniest people in America.

He does a little bit of stand-up. He writes humor books.

But mostly, he is the author of the Borowitz Report.

"It is basically a news site. I do one fake news story a day," he said.

As years go, 2010 has been target-rich for Borowitz's sharp satire.

"China to stop spying on its people … will use Facebook instead" was one such story.

"Hillary to become vice president; Biden named President of Afghanistan; Karzai traded to Minnesota Vikings."

"Christine O'Donnell favors separation of speech and thought."

"Somali pirates say they are a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs," another says. "We were functioning as investment bankers, only every day was casual Friday."

Andy also writes for The New Yorker. For example, a drunk Emily Dickinson using her keys to scratch Ralph Waldo Emerson's car door with the words "Waldo Sucks." He's written about 40 pieces.
