Nick Offerman, John Hodgman, Paul Rudd talk GUMPTION at BookCon 2015 (Full Panel)

Nick plays a few tunes then chats with John and Paul about his new book GUMPTION: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers.
GUMPTION, Offerman’s highly-anticipated second book, highlights twenty-one notable personages whose contributions have helped make America the great country it is today. Subjects range from George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglas, and Teddy Roosevelt, to Michael Pollan, Yoko Ono, and Jeff Tweedy. A combination of serious history and light-hearted humor, GUMPTION also considers some examples in which we Americans have used the powers of freedom bestowed upon us to become more decent as a people- and of course, some instances in which we have not. In the words of Offerman himself, “please enjoy my mixtape of twenty-one great Americans, which I sincerely hope will affect you in a way that makes you recognize your own God-given gumption and react accordingly, so that we may all end up with a little more decency and several more chuckles.”

Nick's laugh :}

I loved his role as the lawyer on the Fargo tv series

Damn, I'm so envious of Offerman's eyes, at least 50% of his comedic genius comes from his icy stare.
