Tonight's guests are Bill Maher on The Daily Show and John Green on The Colbert Report.
Bill Maher is the host of Real Time with Bill Maher as well as a comedian, author and documentarian. I'm sure he will be discussing politics, including Iraq.
John Green is the author of
The Fault in Our Stars which was turned into a movie of the same name currently in theaters.
He is also a vlogger at Youtube (warning: video autoplays on that page) where he creates videos with his brother Hank Green.
In 2007, John Green and his brother Hank Green began a video blog project called Brotherhood 2.0 which ran from January 1 to December 31 of that year. The two brothers agreed that they would forgo all text-based communication with each other for the duration of the project, instead maintaining their relationship by exchanging video blogs, each submitting one to the other on each alternate day. These videos were uploaded to a YouTube channel called "vlogbrothers" (as well as the brothers' own website) where they reached a wide audience. In what would have been the project's final video, the brothers revealed that they would extend their video correspondence indefinitely, and as of 2014 they have continued exchanging their unique vlogs.
Since the project's inception the duo have gained a wide reaching international fanbase whose members identify collectively as "Nerdfighters". The group, in collaboration with the two brothers, promote and participate in a number of humanitarian efforts, including the Project for Awesome, an annual charity fundraiser, a Nerdfighter lending group on the microfinancing website Kiva which to date has loaned nearly $3 million to entrepreneurs in the developing world, and the Foundation to Decrease World Suck, the brothers' own charity.
In addition to the main VlogBrothers channel, the brothers have also created a number of side-projects. These include Truth or Fail, a YouTube game show hosted by Hank and a variety of guest hosts, HankGames (either "with..." or "without Hank"), which consists mostly of screen-capture footage of various videogames, and the Emmy award-winning The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a modernized serialization of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. In 2012, following a grant from Google, the brothers launched a pair of short-format educational video series entitled Crash Course, which presents AP level World History, American History, and Literature (hosted by John) and AP level Chemistry, Biology, Ecology and Psychology (hosted by Hank) and SciShow.
Green is also the host of the YouTube channel for the magazine Mental Floss. He was also contributor to the magazine for a period in the mid-2000s wiki
