Sports and Comedy
Though a comedian by trade, Hofstetter is also a sports writer. At Sports Illustrated since January 2006, Hofstetter is also the co-creator of "Hofstetter's Jerk of the Week," a satirical sports website that chronicled the misdeeds of athletes. Now defunct, the site earned much publicity, including from Sports Illustrated, CNN, USA Today, and dozens of local newspapers .
Hofstetter has also written for Maxim, and ESPN Magazine's "The Jump,", and NHL.com. The New York Times featured Hofstetter in a half page article about how he infuses sports into his comedy, and he is now a frequent guest of many sports radio stations, especially ESPN affiliates .
Hofstetter's latest foray into sports is "National Lampoon's Balls," a book Hofstetter wrote in the summer of 2007.
