Page "Mad Fold-in" Paragraph 22

:" I got a call from The Daily Show — they asked me if I would contribute a fold-in to their book, America.

I said I'd be happy to do it.

When I was done, I called up the producer who'd contacted me, and I said, " I've finished the fold-in, where shall I send it?

" And he said — and this was a great compliment — " Oh, please Mr. Jaffee, could you deliver it in person?

The whole crew wants to meet you.

" And that's where I met Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart and all the writers, and they told me it was our work in Mad that inspired them.

Not me, particularly, but us, generally.

They're your age, and they said, " Without you guys, we wouldn't be here.

" And I felt really good about that.
