As I briefly related in the comments section of my first John Hodgman thread, I took Eric's advice and did some digging into Hodgman's work on This American Life. There are now things you must do.
First, go here and, at 31 minutes into the real audio file, listen to Hodgman talk about his relationship with Bruce Campbell. Then, go here and, at a bit over 45 minutes in, listen to Hodgman talk about his script for the Phantom Menace and things related to that.
The stuff on the Little Grey Books site is keen, but a bit less cool than the American Life stuff - it's got some good bits, but tends to be too rambling, takes too long to go anywhere, to make it really funny for me.
Definitely going to get the book, though.

I love This American Life. But know nothing about anyone affiliated with the show.

Jason, if at all possible, please contact me in the next few days. Not tonight, though. I'm at Zach's and he's getting me drunk. Trust me, I need it...

I tracked down the Phantom Menace bit, and as I listened I realized that I had stumbled across that very segment when it originally aired. It was just as good the second time.
The real thing is, I really would have wanted to see his version of the film...

Jon - Sounds like you do. I tried calling you today, I'll try again tomorrow and so on until I reach you. Take care of yourself.
