Bodega Bay Journalist on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Bodega Bay resident Peter Laufer was a guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart this summer! Originally broadcast in June, we caught the repeat last night, and it was super. Laufer, an award-winning journalist and author, totally held his own against the brilliant Stewart as they engaged in witty banter about his new book, The Dangerous World of Butterflies. Laufer sported a Blue Morpho Butterfly pin for the occasion.

As a book publicist myself and a huge fan of The Daily Show, I especially enjoyed this segment and appreciated Laufer's excellent performance. You can view it here:

You may recall that last December, Laufer wrote a widely-read response to the BusinessWeek article that included Bodega Bay, The Most Expensive Small Towns in America. In his response, Laufer asserted that "BW's recognition of his California community failed to mention that it's lacking one."

Stay tuned for an upcoming review of The Dangerous World of Butterflies by my dear friend Kathryn Hall in her popular blog Plant Whatever Brings You Joy.

    Wow, Kathlene, I'm so glad you found this clip. I missed the original interview and am so glad to have seen it prior to my reviewing Peter's book! I'm on a whole butterfly research thread at the moment and am so looking forward to meeting Peter and sharing his investigations!
    Thank you! xoxo
