"Jon Hein could be the first to have successfully coined a phrase via the Met." — USA Today

jumping.the.shark n: the precise moment when things go bad—terribly, irrevocably bad. You know it when you see it. It's the moment on your favorite TV show when a new character is introduced or the whole gang takes a trip to Tahiti. In that moment you know your favorite show has lost its magic, has begun the long, painful slide to the TV graveyard — the show has jumped the shark.

Happy Days infamously jumped the shark when Fonzie literally jumped a shark on water skis. But it's not just TV shows — anything and anyone can jump the shark. From music legends to sports heroes, from talk show hosts to politicians, Jump the Shark catalogs those priceless moments when the magic vanishes, the ratings go south, and the mighty become the fallen. But beware: This shark-infested audiobook will leave you in stitches and wondering where the insidious fin will pop up next.
