Author, humorist and self-proclaimed "minor television personality and now deranged millionaire" John Hodgman is bringing his message of apocalypse -- the prominent theme of his most recent book, "That Is All" -- to the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis Thursday evening.

Hodgman has appeared on the Daily Show and public radio show "This American Life." You might also know him as the PC in those famous Mac/PC commercials a few years ago or for his writing (if the latter is the case, though, Hodgman contends you're merely a "stalker" and should be avoided at all costs).

Hodgman told The Daily Circuit he's going to get a bit meta during his show at the Varsity.
