The Daily Show has been a supporter of T.J. English's writing for decades. The author's recent appearance with host Michael Kosta was his third appearance on the show. Previous appearances with host Jon Stewart to promote the books Havana Nocturne (2008) and The Savage City (2011) helped to elevate those books onto the New York Times best-seller list. It is rare that a host will have read the entire book of a guest, as Michael Kosta clearly did with The Last Kilo. A knowledgeable host can make for an entertaining and illuminating interview, which is certainly the case in this lively conversation between T.J. and Michael.
