I Am America (And So Can You!) sold 19.5 million copies within its first hour of release, and soon forced even the liberal factinistas at The New York Times to recognize its book-selling dominance with placement atop their so-called "Best Sellers" list for best-selling books.
But who needs a newspaper to tell you what your gut already knows? Americans around the globe have already proclaimed I Am America (And So Can You!) the greatest critical and commercial success in the history of non-Biblical books (and audiobooks - remember, you don't get inflection in the print format, so you need to buy them both!). However, Stephen will not consider his work anything more than a financial success until everyone who buys it becomes America. The words of I Am America (And So Can You) must cover the Earth, spreading Stephen's book-based plans for world domination.

Among the boldest moves in his book-promoting campaign was his agreement to be nailed on The Colbert Report on the night of the book's release. In his interview with Stephen Colbert, Stephen Colbert pulled no punches, questioning his earlier stance on books and reading. During this nailing, Stephen Colbert claimed not to have "written" I Am America (And So Can You), but to have "shouted it into a tape recorder over the Columbus Day weekend."
