This follow-up to NPR Funniest Driveway Moments (2008), also available from HighBridge Audio, collects some two dozen delightful short segments from the National Public Radio archives. All rights reserved Review by Library Journal Review However, the collection has an equal number of misses-John Hodgman's fake facts prove tiring, and too many vignettes are devoted to dissecting humor rather than delivering it. Don't Tell Me, Carol Burnett is charming as she looks back on her career, and Harry Shearer certainly entertains when discussing flame-retardant salmon.
Culled from a variety of NPR programs, the compilation has its high points: NBC's Brian Williams has a memorable turn on Wait, Wait.
Perhaps NPR should have stopped after its first collection of funniest driveway moments because this second installment-featuring such comedic heavyweights as Joan Rivers, Harry Shearer, and Carol Burnett-curiously falls flat.
