- Calvin Trillin's 40 years of funny stuff (program audio)
Politicians tend to take themselves very seriously. That's why we're fortunate enough to have writers like Calvin Trillin, who's been gently poking fun at politicians for decades.
He told a journalist once that he thought of being funny like a "mild disability"-"a weird way of looking at the world-that you can't get rid of."
The longtime New Yorker staff writer joined The Daily Circuit to discuss his new book of collected essays titled, "Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin: 40 Years of Funny Stuff."
