Let’s Play Oddball
Heather Havrilesky made a sly reference (and link) to me in her post on Salon.com about Jay Leno’s new show. Can you find it?
Many years ago, Heather did an interview with me for Salon about my talk-show-in-a-theatre, The J. Keith van Straaten Show. Good to know I haven’t done too much since then to diminish my reputation as an aspirational oddball…
Lit Up!
I’m a guest on the great “Lit Up!” show on November 14, benefiting Team Survivor Los Angeles. Come for the story, stay for the free cookies.
Keeping It Raw - Baby Carrots
Hey you, wanna know about baby carrots? Here’s a short video that explains as it entertains!
The Waiting Game
Here’s a video I shot for a show idea I have. All the sponsors are just placeholders, but doesn’t it just make you want to use your MasterCard to buy a ticket on JetBlue, then snack on some Doritos and wash ‘em down with Sierra Mist?
Politickling
In addition to recruiting folks to register to vote (see photo), I’ve been doing more political humor lately. Check out my man-on-the-street video, the Political Pop videos and blog, and my upcoming standup gig at The Room in October. I’m realizing more and more how much I’ve always felt invested in politics. Now I get to do more than just yell at the TV like the old coot I’m becoming. Thanks for yelling back. Oh, and please: VOTE!!!
The Political Pop - McCain/Obama Debate
I recorded my commentary on this while driving back from Vegas, where I’d spent the weekend registering voters. If it looks a little crappy, it’s because the camera is built into my cell phone. If the comedy I’m spewing is crappy, it’s because it’s built into my Vegas-addled brain.
The Political Pop - Quick Hits & More
So we haven’t been doing the weekly full eps of our web series “The Political Pop” as much as we’ve been doing “quick hits” on political ads that come out.
We’ve been turning these around overnight and they don’t have the quite the same production values as the full episodes, I think they still pack a punch. Check ‘em out and make sure to subscribe at http://www.youtube.com/thepoliticalpop
The Political Pop - Quick Hit on Paris Hilton
It had to be done.

I’ll admit, I’m a bit addicted.
So add me, already!
Pop Goes The Politics
So here’s a new project I’m working on. You know those clip shows where you see folks like me make little comments on clips from pop culture? Well here’s one, except that we comment on politics. But it’s funnier than I just described. Anyhow, check it out. It’s called The Political Pop!
