“Willie Geist is the perfect guy to chronicle our decidedly imperfect times.” —, anchor, NBC Nightly News Willie Geist spends his time on MSNBC’s sifting through the THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK wreckage of American politics and popular culture. These days, that’s a big job. In his hilarious first book, American Freak Show, Geist takes the smart, biting observation loved by his television audience to new satirical extremes. The real-life characters who now haunt our daily lives are cast as stars in completely made-up scenes that are not that far from reality. Geist treats us to the first look at President Sarah Palin’s unconventional inaugural address, performed live on WWE’s Monday Night Raw after her renegade victory in the 2012 election. We go inside the ballroom for a Dean Martin–style welcome roast of Bernie Madoff upon his arrival in Hell. And George W. Bush’s batting-cage-and-waterslide-themed plans for a presidential library are laid out publicly for the first time. From Obama to Oprah, Afghanistan to Lohan, and Snooki to the Salahis, Geist spares no one as our host of this wild American Freak Show. You’ll laugh out loud while weeping for the future of America. Willie Geist is the host of MSNBC’s Way Too Early with Willie Geist, cohost of Morning Joe, and a contributor Willie GEIST
