Bob Hirschfeld

Jay Leno calls Bob Hirschfeld "one of the top satirists in the country." Bob is making his mark as the first "Cybersatirist" on the Internet with a popular web site, Bob's FridgeDoor (bobsfridge.com) that lampoons news and technology. Bob has been featured in Newsweek, USA Today, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Fast Company and profiled in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today. PC Magazine twice named his site one of the top 100 In the world. Bob is also featured as one of the most intriguing personalities on the Internet in the book "'Net.People." Cybersatirist Bob Hirschfeld delves into all the foibles of the Digital Age as he interacts with his laptop in a unique multimedia presentation that not only has audiences in fits of laughter but agreeing with his premise that they are not the "dummies" in this technology equation. Continually updated to stay on top of the latest developments, it includes parodies of all aspects of software, email and web sites as well as an irreverent history of computers and the Internet. While bookstores are filled with titles on "Computers for Dummies," it should be "Computers by Dummies." How else to explain a system you shut down by clicking on a "Start button? Or software companies that need your help in finding all the bugs so they can finish the product and sell you the upgrade? The Internet is altering commerce: a customer can now make a purchase without any assistance from a salesperson, which actually is just like shopping at a large department store. It's also changing the nature of journalism so that the media is now breaking news... beyond repair. In addition to the recognition Bob Hirschfeld is receiving for his web site, his humor and satire has been published over the past ten years in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and USA Today. He has appeared on CNN, C-SPAN, FOX morning news, NPR and radio stations around the country. For many years Bob Hirschfeld was also a contributing writer to Jay Leno for his monologues on the "The Tonight Show."
