Former mayor Jón Gnarr appeared on Craig Ferguson’s The Late Late Show to discuss his new book Gnarr: How I Became the Mayor of a Lar­ge City in Ice­land and Changed the World.

In the interview Gnarr talked about the formation of the Best Party, his time in office and how the economic crash created the perfect storm, making room in people’s minds for a radical new approach to politics.

Watch the video below for more, Gnarr’s interview begins at around the 24 minute mark. And if you just can’t get enough Gnarr check out the Grapevine’s in-depth profile of the mayor from earlier this summer.
