A License to Rant; S1Ep10- The Amazing Kreskin Interview
Comedians, John Pizzi and Mikey Sausage interview mentalist, George Joseph Kresge, best know as The Amazing Kreskin.
About:
Kreskin became popular on North American television in the 1970s. He was inspired to become a mentalist by Lee Falk's famous comic strip, "Mandrake the Magician", which features a crime-fighting stage magician. He has always presented himself as an "entertainer," never as a psychic, who operates on the basis of suggestion, not the paranormal or supernatural.
From 1970 to 1975, Kreskin's television series, "The Amazing World of Kreskin", was broadcast throughout Canada on CTV and distributed in syndication in the United States. The series was produced in Ottawa, Ontario at the CJOH-TV studios. An additional set of episodes was produced in 1975, billed as The New Kreskin Show. He appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson 61 times from 1970 to 1980. In the 1980s and '90s he came to prominence again through several appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and on the Howard Stern Show. In 2009 he became the first guest to make three appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
The 2008 movie, "The Great Buck Howard" is based on the experiences of writer-director Sean McGinly, who worked briefly as Kreskin's road manager.
He is still active as a live performer and appears regularly on WPIX in New York City, and annually on both the Fox News Channel and CNN to give his New Year's Day predictions for the coming year.
