business comedy

A graduate of Princeton, Exeter, and Virginia Law School, Jeff Kreisler has become a sought-after expert in business and financial humor, with a book, a syndicated column, several webseries, characters, blogs, a highly-praised TV pilot, and numerous appearances on radio, tv, print, and the interwebs.

The NY Times recently ran this article on the emergence of business humor. Kreisler is on the leading edge:

• Wrote the Boston Globe bestseller from HarperCollins, “Get Rich Cheating,” a satire of what got us all into this mess (see glowing reviews from the likes of Terry Jones, Rachel Maddow, CNBC, and even Penthouse here);
• Contibutes Commentaries to NPR's "Marketplace;"
• Executive Editor of “My Wall Street Journal,” with writers from The New Yorker, The Daily Show, The Onion, Monty Python, and, yes, The Wall Street Journal;
• Wrote/hosted the Funny Money columns and videos on Jim Cramer's TheStreet.com;
• Developed the popular Consumption Advocate character for Shoot The Messenger (from the co-creator of The Daily Show);
• Producing “This Week In Cheating” and “Jeff Kreisler: Unemployed” webseries;
• Wrote one of Wallstrip’s most popular episodes (All-Time Lows).

HISTORY: In 2005, Aaron Task - then executive editor of TheStreet.com - asked Jeff if he wanted to write a financial humor column. Kreisler replied, "That sounds like a terrible idea." It probably was. Nonetheless, the Funny Money column was born, eventually growing strong enough to dominate the world. Eventually.

Join the fight.
