Conversations with Charlie Dyer, Guest: Ken Jennings

In 1968, Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” It seems with the endless ways of getting attention these days, particularly in the Internet age with the oversaturation of all things media … everyone is constantly sharing a joke or a funny video or a funny meme. It’s like we’re all obsessed with finding the humor life. Is being funny in one way or another at the heart of how many people are striving to achieve that 15 minutes of fame? Author and Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings says everything is getting funnier in his book Planet Funny: How Comedy Took Over Our Culture.
