  Ed Helms is an actor, comedian, and writer who first gained national attention as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Helms is perhaps best known for his iconic roles as Andy Bernard on NBC’s hit sitcom The Office and Stu in The Hangover film trilogy alongside Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis. His extensive filmography includes more titles such as Vacation, Cedar Rapids, and the hit Netflix comedy Family Switch alongside Jennifer Garner. Ed also co-created and starred in Rutherford Falls, an acclaimed sitcom on Peacock that cleverly tackled identity and history. Ed hosts SNAFU, the hilarious and illuminating podcast that inspired this book. A proud banjo enthusiast, he co-founded The Bluegrass Situation, a platform for roots music fans.

  History contains a plethora of insane screwups—otherwise known as SNAFUs. Coined during World War I, SNAFU is an acronym that stands for Situation Normal: All F*cked Up. In other words, “things are pretty screwed up, but aren’t they always?”
  Spanning from the 1950’s to the 2000’s, Ed Helms steps in as unofficial history teacher for a deep dive into each decade’s craziest SNAFUs. From planting nukes on the moon to training felines as CIA spies to weaponizing the weather, this book will unpack the incredibly ironic decision-making and hilariously terrifying aftermath of America’s biggest mishaps.
  Filled with sharp humor, SNAFU is a wild ride through time that not only entertains but offers fresh insights that just might prevent history from repeating itself again and again.
