NEW YORK — How about this for a comedy team: Jon Stewart and Condoleezza Rice?

Stewart will host an author breakfast in May at BookExpo America, the publishing industry’s annual national convention. Rice, the former secretary of state who has a memoir out this fall, will be among the speakers.

The three-day convention will be held in New York from May 25-27. Other speakers will include John Grisham, Christopher Hitchens and Sarah Ferguson.
