Ben Potter is the worst-selling author of How to Not Write a Best-Selling Book: Adventures in Trying to Do Something Really Great and Finding Moderate Success in Small, but Fulfilling Ways. He is an amateur game show host who is bad at camping and tends to make social situations enjoyably awkward. While his exploits are shrouded in legend, his fans prefer to remain anonymous due to the polarizing nature of his persona. In 1986, the year before his birth, he won the Nobel Prize for Mediocrity. He has also played mini-golf with the Queen of England and lost, although he maintains that the margin of his defeat was “totally respectable.”
