About Me

Hi everybody,

I'm delighted to report that my new book, "My Custom Van (and 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays That Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face)" has just hit stores. Is it funny? This is what Stephen Colbert says: "Michael Ian Black has proven that even the most simple-minded among us can occasionally create works of genius." He should know - he's Stephen Colbert. Sarah Silverman says of my book, "Fun to read while you're pooping." High praise indeed. You can buy the book at any bookstore or on Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com. It's wonderful, just like you.
Michael
