Nashville-native, now New Yorker Keith Alberstadt (of KeithComedy.com) writes in with an update:
I have become a freelance writer for Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update”, been featured again on CNN Headline News, and performed for a few Navy bases in San Diego. I also blew a save for the Mets, but who didn’t?
Saturday Night Live and CNN HL
After getting Saturday Night Live to look at my joke writing, they asked me to join their freelance staff for “Weekend Update”. That’s the news portion of the show. Basically, I send them jokes every week and hope they use some. So make sure to watch SNL this season. Or at least Tivo it and watch it Monday after the kids go to school and you knock back a few cold ones.
Also, CNN Headline News re-ran the episode of “Not Just Another Cable News Show” that I was on, featuring the fads of the 80s and 90s. To watch my comments, click here. It’s 38 seconds of pure, hilarious genius.
Topical Humor Right Here People
To read my topical jokes for the month so far, click here.
Teaser: “Action figures of the Presidential candidates are now being sold online. It’s a crucial time for it too, since G.I. Joe is still deployed and the banks just foreclosed on the Barbie Dream House.”
You should also read about my latest trip to the mall in my latest column “The Name Game Challenge“. Teaser: Once in the mall, I had the chance to test Newton’s theory, which in this setting states “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction from a stuck-up Abercrombie sales girl”.
Comics On Duty Navy Tour and Upcoming Dates
I just returned from another great tour for Comics on Duty. This time, we hit three Navy bases around San Diego — El Centro, Naval Base San Diego (the winner of the most creative name category), and Cypress. Good times and much thanks!
Make sure to check out one of my shows coming up! I’m spending a lot of time in NYC, but I’ll be in Louisville, KY and New Castle, PA coming up.
View my whole tour schedule here. See you out there!
Thanks for all the continued support out there! See you on the road.
Sincerely,
Keith Alberstadt

Keith Alberstadt’s Knee, Computer Explodes
I’d like to say that Nashville-native comedian Keith Alberstadt is doing just fine in New York City, but that’d be a lie. Keith was playing basketball a couple weeks ago and his knee exploded on him. I think the shrapnel killed a teammate.. it was pretty gory. It’s OK now.. he’s had surgery and I believe they reconstructed it with some spare parts they had laying around. He’s all hopped up on drugs and recovering nicely. Read the details and see the photos up on his MySpace blog: http://www.myspace.com/keithcomedy
As if that wasn’t enough, Keith has also had computer trouble.. I’ll let him tell you all about it:
Fans of Nashville Stand Up…
I have horrible news. My website mailing list has been stolen by Dane Cook.
Okay, not really, but I wouldn’t put it past him. The truth is, my address book was deleted when my hard drive died.
I of course love Nashville. Zanies is where I started and I want to keep everyone posted on my shows there. So even if you think I have your info, please sign up again by visiting www.keithcomedy.com/mailinglist.asp
Without the support of Nashville comedy fans, I got nothing. Not even my health (read about my massive knee injury at www.keithcomedy.com/columns/hoopnightmares.asp )
Thanks, everyone! Feel free to forward this message along to others. The person out there who collects the most email addresses for me will get a free used crutch…I’ll even Febreeze the top part, maybe.
Keith
Way to go, Keith. Way to go.
Keith Alberstadt on Bob & Tom Thursday
Nashville’s own Keith Alberstadt is back on the Bob & Tom Radio Show again.. tune in Thursday, August 23rd. Here’s a note from Keith:
In other news….
After last year’s trip overseas to entertain our military, I requested to return in 2007 during the time when they would miss being home the most… over the holidays. That request has been honored, and I’m heading back to the Persian Gulf in December for about 5 weeks. It will be my third trip over there, and I’m looking forward to it.
In case you haven’t seen my latest writings on my website, you’ve been missing a lot.
I had an incredibly frightening nightmare recently that you can read about in my latest column.
And if you don’t keep up with the news, I got you covered. Read my August news item jokes here and here. Soon, I will also have them in a recorded podcast that you’ll be able to subscribe to. Stay tuned for that!
Thank you for the continued support. Hope to see you at a show sometime.
Keith
Mr. Alberstadt will be appearing at Zanies Comedy Showplace Sunday, August 24th at 7:30 p.m. as part of the “Late Show with David Letterman” audition showcase. Make reservations now, because that show will sell out fast!

A Keith Alberstadt Update
From Keith:
New York City is keeping me busy. I was in the Sirius Satellite Radio studios a few weeks ago with PJ Walsh on the Blue Collar comedy channel, and we had a blast hanging out. His show is “Wall to Wall Good Stuff” on Sirius Channel 103, and I’ll be making another visit there soon, so look out for that.
I’ve made more stops in studio with the nationally-syndicated Bob and Tom Show and the John Boy and Billy Show over the past couple of months. If you missed those broadcasts, you should really feel ashamed of yourself. Really.
I’m still writing sports jokes for “National Lampoon’s Sports Minute…Or So”. The bit/program is bi-weekly and has been picked up by various radio stations nationwide, and will probably be syndicated in print soon.
I’m writing my butt off as usual. I just posted a new humor column about my somewhat neurotic germaphobia. Check it out here. I’m also writing more monologue-type jokes about the latest headlines. Check out the latest here. I’ve been asked to re-post my column from last year about Lent. Rather than repost it, you can check it out by clicking here.
I’m not just in the Big Nutty Apple, though. I’m still on the road every now and then, including more military tours (Navy tour to Hawaii is coming up…oh, baby!). Make sure to stop by a show when I’m in your town. And tell your friends, unless they’re crazy.
Keith Alberstadt of KeithComedy.com, ladies and gentlemen.
