Industry Reviews
"Brutally witty...On a par with Woody Allen's Without Feathers and Steve Martin's Cruel Shoes... Naked Pictures reveals a basic truth that's too oftenforgotten by the shock-for-shock's-sake satirists of the South Park era: You've got to be smart to be a smart ass." -- "Entertainment Weekly""Jon Stewart eschews the standard standup patter and instead gives us 18 short comic essays in a variety of styles that recall the prose work of WoodyAllen... Stewart proves himself a remarkably nimble humorist with a sharp eye for parody... It's wonderful to see an edgy comedian taking on thetraditionally cozy genre of the humorous essay, creating work that combines the wit of Robert Benchley with the energy and attitude of the best modernstandup." -- Amazon.com"Terrific night table reading for lovers of intelligent satire... smart... refreshingly offensive... unapologetically un-PC... a gift for just about anyone." -- "Austin Chronicle"
