John Keister

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Kiester was the host of the Seattle sketch comedy show Almost Live! until it was canceled by KING-TV in 1999 because it was not making enough profit. The station has aired reruns of the show ever since, now in the time slot following Saturday Night Live. In fall 2000, Keister created a new sketch comedy show for competing station KIRO-TV, titled The John Report with Bob, essentially a carry-over of the news report segment he had done on Almost Live!, with Bob Nelson in tow. The new show was canceled after a year, again because it was not making a profit.

He has won 14 Northwest Emmy Awards.
