John Safran
John Safran (born 13 August 1972) is an Australian radio personality, satirist, documentary maker and author, known for combining humour with explorations into religion and other issues. His more famous television segments include turning the tables on tabloid current affairs host Ray Martin by arriving unannounced at his house in ''John Safran: Media Tycoon'' (an early pilot for a TV series), having a fatwa temporarily placed on Rove McManus to satirize the fatwa process and sneaking nine young men into an exclusive Melbourne nightclub by disguising them as members of American nu-metal band Slipknot. ==Early life== Safran was born in Melbourne. He attended North Balwyn Primary School, Balwyn High School and Yeshivah College before studying journalism at RMIT University. He eventually dropped out without completing his degree and began work in advertising for Clemenger Harvie. During this time he also worked as a copywriter for Mazda, Village Roadshow and Sea World. In Year 12 he formed the hip-hop group Raspberry Cordial with his friend Chris Lumsden. They played to some success, receiving high rotation airplay on the city's community radio, playing many gigs in Melbourne and coming second in the RMIT Battle of the Bands competition. Their debut album was ''Melbourne Tram'', of which Safran apparently has hundreds of unsold cassettes in his bedroom to this day. After winning a government youth music initiative, they followed up with ''Taste Test'', of which 500 copies were pressed. Of those only 93 sold, so the remaining 407 had to be crushed. Interviewed on Andrew Denton's ''Enough Rope'' show in 2003, he said that Raspberry Cordial "broke down the wall that Eminem's been able to walk through."
