Albert "Bert" "The Machine" Kreischer is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and reality television host. In 1997, as a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, he was featured in ''Rolling Stone'' as "the top partier" at Florida State University, the "top party school in the US", while he was in his sixth year of college. The ''Rolling Stone'' article was the inspiration for the 2002 movie ''Van Wilder''. From 2000 to 2001, he was the co-host of the FX Network variety show ''The X Show''. A segment that aired on the show, "Ass Wax", where Kreischer had his hair removed with hot wax, led Kreischer to gain his own show on the FX Network, titled ''Hurt Bert'', in 2004. In the same year, he had a role in an episode of the police drama ''The Shield''. Kreischer claims that on a college field trip to Russia, he drank with the Russian mob (after accidentally introducing himself with the phrase "Я машина") and even participated in a robbery while intoxicated. He talked about these exploits on June 5, 2006 on ''Loveline''; on January 14, 2011, on DC101's ''Elliot in the Morning''; April 5, 2011, on the ''Joe Rogan Experience'' podcast #95; ''Opie and Anthony'' on June 28, 2011; ''WTF with Marc Maron'' on January 9, 2012; WMMR's ''Preston and Steve Show'' on January 12, 2012; on ''The Todd and Tyler Radio Empire'' on August 2, 2012; and on WIYY/98 Rock's Morning Show Mickey, Amelia, and Spiegel. Parts of Kreischer's stand-up routine were used in Comedy Central's animated series ''Shorties Watchin' Shorties'', which aired in 2004 and is now on DVD. In 2008, he participated in the Comedy Central reality show ''Reality Bites Back'', where comedians competed in a variety of contests that were parodies of different reality shows. In 2009, he was given a one hour comedy special on Comedy Central titled ''Bert Kreischer: Comfortably Dumb''. Kreischer was formerly known as the fifth member of the ''Cowhead Radio Show'' in Tampa, Florida. In 2010, he became the host of the Travel Channel reality show ''Bert the Conqueror''. In the show, he is an "everyday guy" who travels across the United States to amusement parks and other entertainment venues to experience and promote various roller coasters, water rides, and unusual sports. On January 19, 2011, Kreischer appeared as a guest on the ''Joe Rogan Experience'' and revealed that the story of ''National Lampoon's Van Wilder'' was loosely based on his own life. After the ''Rolling Stone'' article was written about Kreischer's "party" lifestyle, he had gotten the attention of Oliver Stone, who had wished to develop a film based on his life. Upon receiving numerous script submissions, the deal had apparently fallen apart and all the writers had retained the intellectual rights to their work. One of these writers had supposedly changed Kreischer's name on their script and sold it to National Lampoon, which eventually became the basis for ''Van Wilder''. He also said former friend Jay Mohr stole a Tracy Morgan joke from him. He also revealed this two years earlier on the ''Jay Thomas Show'' on Sirius Satellite Radio. Bert has always been a strong activist to permit un-athletic children to play sports. When he performed in Atlanta, he was quoted as saying: "My goal is for each of them to be either a shirt or a skin regardless of their background in chess club or larping." Kreischer's book ''Life of the Party: Stories of a Perpetual Man-Child'' was published by St. Martin's Press in May 2014. Kreischer currently hosts ''Bertcast'', a weekly comedy podcast on the All Things Comedy network.〔http://allthingscomedy.com/channels/49/bertcast〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bert Kreischer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
