Jon Carroll
Jon Carroll has been a columnist for the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' since 1982, when he succeeded columnist Charles McCabe. His column appears on the back page of the Chronicle's Datebook section (the newspaper's entertainment section) Tuesdays through Fridays. Locally, he is best known for his moderate-to-liberal politics and his odd, self-referential humor.
Carroll was born in Los Angeles on November 6, 1943, and raised in nearby Pasadena. He attended (but did not finish) UC Berkeley, where he edited the campus humor magazine, the ''California Pelican.'' Before becoming a newspaper columnist, he worked on the editorial staff at ''Rolling Stone'' magazine (assistant editor, 1970) where he wrote "Voice Denies Nixon Drug Use," Rags magazine, ''Oui'', a ''Playboy'' spinoff (editor, 1972); the ''Village Voice'' (West Coast editor, 1974); ''WomenSports'' magazine (Consulting editor); and ''New West'' magazine (editor, 1978, where he won a National Magazine Award in 1979).
On Friday, Oct. 30, 2015, Carroll wrote: "Yes, it’s true; I’m retiring. Thirty-three years is a long time to do anything, and 8,700 columns is, well, a lot of columns. I haven’t exactly had to wait my turn... My last column is Nov. 20..." The column is behind the newspaper's pay wall.
Carroll has long lived in Oakland, with his wife, author Tracy Johnston, and a cat named Pancho, occasional subject of his columns. He writes satire, memoir, political comment and anarchic humor.
