Hello Skeptifriends!
Skepticon is officially making its first foray into late night tele-zoom-vision with The SkepTonight Show!
Illustrious Host Keith Lowell-Jensen will be chatting with special guests Eli Heina Dadabhoy, Leighann Lord, and Greta Christina late-night style. Each guest will share a special (and hilarious) story. You don’t want to miss this!
More About our hosts and guests:
Comedian and connoisseur of silly straws, Keith Lowell-Jensen is a master of the funnies. This will be his second appearance at Skepticon because we promised him high-quality coffee (Note to self: find high-quality coffee). You can find all things Keith on his hilarious youtube channel, his very shiny website, his spectacularly caffeine fueled twitter, or take a part of him home forever by purchasing one of his DVDs or CDs.
