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…

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?

The Captain Creamsicle’s Laughateers show, scheduled for October 22, has been canceled.
I mention this because I was to be in it.

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!!!
