Jonathan Ames, né le 23 mars 1964 à New York, est un auteur américain ayant écrit plusieurs romans et mémoires humoristiques. Il acquiert une certaine notoriété avec ses histoires qu’il écrit deux fois par mois pour le New York Press (de 1997 à 2000), sous le titre “City Slicker”. Dans ces colonnes, il raconte ses mésaventures sexuelles avec un grand sens de l’auto-dérision. Il s’intéresse depuis longtemps au monde de la boxe et est même occasionnellement monté sur le ring sous le surnom de « Hareng prodige » ("The Herring Wonder"). En 2009, il crée la série télévisée Bored to Death pour HBO, et en 2015, il lance la série Blunt Talk, produite par Seth MacFarlane et avec Patrick Stewart pour la chaine Starz.

Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) defies his father (Tom Hanks) and leaves law school to pursue his dream of becoming a writer in Los Angeles. To support himself, he takes a job as a road manager for "The Great" Buck Howard (John Malkovich), a fading mentalist. Troy comes to enjoy traveling with Buck to performances in smaller venues such as Bakersfield and Akron. In particular, Troy sincerely admires Buck's signature trick: having someone in the audience hide his fee for that night's performance, which he then unfailingly discovers. (Kreskin is said to have actually performed this feat 6,000 times, only failing to find the money nine times.
