Description

Legendary musician, artist, and New York Times best-selling author Peter Wolf joins Jordan Klepper to talk about his new memoir, “Waiting on the Moon.” The former J. Geils Band frontman recounts the era in which he wrote their album “Full House,” and how he strived to write a “not-boring” memoir by sharing vignettes about the people he idolized. Plus, he tells some stories from the book, including when he drank Bob Dylan’s wine and the time Muddy Waters became his houseguest. #DailyShow #PeterWolf #RockMusic Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

What an excellent conversation. I got lost in Peter's stories and it didn't seem like an interview at all. Well done Jordan. Peter is a vibrant and exciting storyteller. Loved the album Blow Your Face Out.

I grew up on the Geils band. Still listen to them on the regular. I walked into a Chinese restaurant in Massachusetts back in the 80's , and who was sitting in a booth in the back but Peter Wolf. I said hello and he was gracious. Cant wait to buy his book

How is J. Geils, one of the greatest live Rock'n Roll bands not in the Rock'nRoll HOF. Unbelievable.

Peter is one of the greatest characters rock has ever produced. J.Giels was a big influence growing up, saw them on the Love Stinks tour...absolutely great

Dude is 80. J Geils Band started in 1967. Crazy that they didn’t get the world wide recognition until their 10th album. Great interview.

I'm reading Peters book Waiting on the Moon and I can tell you that it's full of great stories and tales from the past. Peter is wicked smart! I'm so glad that I bought it!
