R. Eric Thomas writes with humor and wit in his latest book, 'Congratulations, the Best is Over!'

R. Eric Thomas writes wry, perceptive essays about things that seem more amusing in his life than they do in yours.

We spoke to the author in September about his new book, "Congratulations, the Best is Over!"Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
