The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" writer, "Keep It" podcaster and viral "Jeopardy!" sensation drops by to talk about how California makes the perfect place to practice his unusual (and hilarious) skill set.
Louis Virtel is a writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and a co-host of the Crooked Media podcast Keep It.
I remain shocked that I could meet a ton of people who are like me here. I really thought that was a New York thing. [...] I really thought in the abstract it was the land of models and actors, and I’m so psyched to learn: No–this is totally where I belong, [around] people who have made me so much funnier. I guess I’m just shocked to belong here so much, even though everything I’ve ever wanted to do involves being in California.
