On the Daily Show: Finally an accountant who's funny!
Austin Goldsby. Watch the show if you get the chance. Austin has a great sense of humor...rarely found in the accounting profession... and is really happy to be going home!

1. He's quite humorous. He's an economist.

I'm an accountant, and believe me, there are few of us who can inject humor into our life. I sy good for Austin!

@TheDailyShow
Tonight's guest @WhiteHouse Chief Economist Austan Goolsbee will return to teaching this fall, despite not knowing how to spell "Austin."

:rofl:
