The Seattle PI ran a story on Friday about the former Seattle Comedy show Almost Live, and it’s host John Keister. For any of you who missed it, here is the Link.
There are 180 Soundoff comments on the story as well, most of them viewers who are remembering aspects of the show.
I loved Almost Live. I even once attended a filming in Seattle (as many people did during that time). The jokes about Renton made me laugh. Under Mayor Jesse Tanner, we honored John Keister by making him an honorary citizen of Renton, and he came down to our council chambers to accept the award personally.
Here is a blog entry I posted a few months ago on this subject.
All I remember is Renton was the biggest joke on there to make fun of, and the jokes haven’t stopped thanks to it.
