Summary |
"Jump the Shark is a riotous compendium of the rises--and, more important, the falls--of our most famous contemporary pop icons. From music legends to sports heroes, from talk show hosts to politicians, Jump the Shark is an uproarious catalog of those priceless moments when the magic vanishes, the ratings go south, and the mighty become the fallen (who would have guessed a blue Gap dress could send Bill Clinton over the shark?). But beware: These shark-infested pages will leave you in stitches and wondering where the insidious fin will pop up next." |
