[edit] Career

In his early days at the Ticket, the Great Gordo hosted a late night weekend show, from midnight to 2 am which included "Jeremy" and his original hypnotic renditions of pop songs along with a myriad of intoxicated and odd bird callers. The show eventually morphed into his Saturday morning show "The Rant", which started in 19xx and ran until 200x. The Rant tenure included a couple of well known Ticket personalities as co-hosts, GenX Davey Lane and Corby Davidson. Some of the highlights from The Rant included the rat that ate the nose off a baby, the untimely death of Bumpot and the notorious coverage of Kennedy Jr crashing on Gay Head. He started with The Hardline where his on air Lambeau Field escapades landed him jail with Dr. Thornhill and in the forefront of P1 popularity. In addition to his notable radio career, Keith has also found success in other forms of media.
