Jack Handey

American writer · United States · On the map · Writers · Born 1949 · age 77

Jack Handey is an American humorist. He is best known for his "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey", a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts, and for his deadpan delivery. Although many assume otherwise, Handey is a real person, not a pen name or character.

Jack Handey is read about 118 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 19 September 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
