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:

• Harper Collins is publishing “Get Rich Cheating,” a satire of what got us all into this mess;
• He's a regular guest on the 3pm Business Hour of Fox News' "The Strategy Room;"
• He's 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 the Funny Money columns and videos on Jim Cramer's TheStreet.com;
• Created the popular Consumption Advocate character for Shoot The Messenger (from the 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.
