He provided the voice of Thomas Jefferson for The Daily Show's America the Book: The Audiobook. Might want to mention that? (go ahead and disagree with me) 69.12.130.233 09:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
A grammatical error: In the third paragraph, the wording makes it Rakoff's writings, not Rakoff himself, that are being described as openly gay. Profcumquatt ( talk) 02:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
I have added quite a few links to this article. The length of the list may appear disproportionate to the length of the article, and so violate the external links guidelines. But I am working on some major edits to the article, which I hope to upload in a few days and which will reflect the number of links. Could any culling of my links wait until then?

The links have turned this article into a valuable resource indeed—perhaps the best one on the Internet for this topic. I look forward to the expansion of the article text; I'm sure we can wait! Tony (talk) 08:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I think I broke a rule by re-instating some material that another person removed rather than discussing it first. Sorry. But I do not understand why it was removed, the notation says "references removed" but part of the text (which was accurate and verified) was removed. Could we discuss why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethel&bobby ( talk • contribs) 04:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
There are a ton of things on this page that don't really belong here. Seriously, does it need to be said that he hates jam and that he can tell who's Canadian? It all sounds like a fan just took memorable things from This American Life and made sections about them. It's a total mess. Jkdeadite ( talk) 12:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

This article is so long, it is hard to believe it isn't a joke. Scrolling through to the bottom of the page takes forever - seriously needs some thinning.

I haven't listened to this recent radio interview by Rakoff, but I believe that after 17 minutes the interviewer asks him about his Wikipedia page, and that he says it's disturbing long and horrifying, "like you had gone to someone's home for brunch, and you went to the bathroom and you took a wrong turn and you went into a room and all the walls are plastered with surveillance photos of you and severed chicken feet and bloody messages on the wall." He says it's both exhaustive and unanalytical.
Hahaha, that's very David Rakoff. I feel like I'm sitting in his Emmy-Award-winning short film. Nice to know he can be his artistic self about this article. He doesn't have any final say, of course, but I don't disagree with his basic point. Can editors collaborate to reduce this very long article, please? Tony (talk)
There need to be more internal links in the article, specifically in the introduction. I don't really feel like adding them myself at this point in time. See WP:LINK for guidance. Claritas § 18:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I know that he has some form of cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy, but I don't really have any other information. Could someone who knows update the article to include this information? Thanks! Rioux15 ( talk) 03:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
