Every year, Reader’s Digest readers send in tens of thousands of jokes and funny anecdotes, in their quest for a $100 check and, as an extra benefit, eternal glory: to have their joke published in the world’s best-read magazine. One man is stopping them from their quest. Andy Simmons.

It takes a sense of humor. And Andy certainly has that. Not only is he the arbiter of all things funny in Reader’s Digest; he is their Mark Twain, Bill Cosby, and even their David Sedaris. In other words, Andy is the guy Reader’s Digest turns to whenever they need a funny story all of America can appreciate. He’s perfect for the job. Andy takes great delight in the funny and oddball side of everyday life. In Now That’s Funny!, Andy presents his most popular, funniest writings on all things America, some exclusive and all-new, some taken from the award-winning pages of Reader’s Digest.

You’ll discover the Andy that goes out and tries things. His first-person tales of taking dance lessons, participating in a Revolutionary War reenactment, and even taking stand-up comedy lessons are some of the funniest articles to ever appear in Reader’s Digest.

Then you discover the Andy that observes America. His roundups of dumb criminals, crazy lawsuits, ridiculous excuses and out-of-touch scientific research will have you roaring with laughter -- and feeling much better about yourself.

Then there’s Andy, the family man. You’ll laugh out loud as he goes in search of his inner macho --or for the next stop on his vacation, if only he can find the directions. And Andy’s observations on marriage and fatherhood are as accurate as they are funny.

Finally, there’s Andy the jokester. Here are tales from the job of trying to think, act, and be funny every workday, no matter what the dog did this morning on the rug. Tales of his sit-downs with comic legends from Robin Williams to Woody Allen will have you in stitches. Andy also shares his favorite jokes -- many of them too edgy for printing in Reader’s Digest!

Add it up, and it’s a book filled with hundreds of feel-good, laugh-out-loud moments about life in these United States -- exactly the type of reading we need today!

A Good Collection of Reader's Digest Humor

By Joseph O. Perry on September 6, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

The author is the person who has been responsible for the humor pages in Reader's Digest for years. If you love that type of clean family oriented humor, you will enjoy this book. I found many of the tales to be very funny almost of the rib-splitting variety. Others were a bit ho-hum. Some of the jokes would be appropriate for meetings or even sermons. It is a useful collection. I would like to re-read this book and reassess my views.

meh...

By Gwen on November 9, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I thought for sure I'd be rolling on the floor with this book but I was sadly mistaken. I read Readers Digest and love their jokes but this whole book was on a different level, a lower level. Most of the jokes are long, if you can call them jokes. there are stories and anicdotes but it is all wordy. I would read some 2 page story and think was that really necessary in this book? Sorry but I've read funnier books than this.

Waste of money!! What a disappointment!!

By Mary L. Hargenrader on August 30, 2012

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

If you are expecting quick jokes of just a few lines like in the Reader's Digest magazine, you won't find them here.
These are the author's stories. Most not funny. Boring.

Not funny

By Barbara M. Kelly on September 16, 2012

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

This book, which we waited for, was simply not as funny as we expected. Too bad. Recycled jokes from the internet and things we had heard before. New sources needed.

laughing in westchester

By Susan Hiner on October 31, 2012

Format: Paperback

Simmons's book has broad appeal but feels intimate all the same. His touching stories of the beautiful and witty Jennifer, the adorable Quinn, and the rousing cast of neighborhood characters are a delight! He's a brilliant but humble writer, sure to bring a smile even to the most jaded reader. Love this book!
