Steve Yeich

Steve Yeich has been professional writer for 27 years.  The first thing he ever sold professionally were jokes as a freelance writer to Joan Rivers when she used to guest host for Johnny Carson on the “Tonight Show.”  When he heard a joke he had written being performed on late night television he jumped up and angrily shouted, “Hey that’s my joke.”  Then he got his composure, realized what had happened and he smiled and said, “Hey, that’s my joke.”  (He’s not really that smart, plus he was half asleep anyway.)  After that he did freelance writing for numerous comedians who have performed on the Las Vegas Strip including for Jay Leno when he was also guest hosting on the “Tonight Show.”

His other writing credits include working freelance (he’s not real big on working for others , is he?) for advertising agencies where he did various forms of script writing including over a hundred commercials for both radio and TV.  He also hosted a weekly radio talk show in the early 90’s for about a year.  He did have a job where he was employed (his wife liked it, but he did not) as the head writer for a TV station  doing shows about Las Vegas. (Fortunately for him that didn’t last that long…whew!)  He has written humor articles that have been published in newspapers and magazines and he has written several screenplays, for one of which an option was sold.

He even tried his hand at stand-up comedy for about a half of a year in the early nineties.  While he had his moments he realized that wasn’t for him because, a) he doesn’t like to work at night, and b) he likes to work in his home and since he doesn’t even really like to invite people to his home all that much there was just no way that was going to work out.

 He hopes you enjoy his latest endeavour, darnfunnyonline.com , as much as he enjoys writing it for you (and tell your friend too!)

“Declassified papers report that John Kennedy was taking eight different medications a day. He was so wasted, his Secret Service code name was Ted Kennedy.” —Craig Kilborn

“Ted Kennedy called for Rumsfeld’s resignation. This is interesting. This marks the first time Kennedy has ever come out against anything with rum in it.” –Conan O’Brien

“During Judge Alito’s hearings, Senator Ted Kennedy accidentally referred to Sam Alito as Ali-oto. Kennedy said ‘Forgive me, I’m sober.’” –Conan O’Brien

“Ted Kennedy is endorsing John Kerry and I’m wondering, do you really want the endorsement of a guy with a Bloody Mary mustache?” —David Letterman

“It was a long, dull speech. Halfway through, Ted Kennedy sent drinks over to the Bush twins.” –David Letterman, on Bush’s State of the Union Address

“With rumors swirling of him possibly running for office, George Clooney said the only thing he plans to run for has two legs and a skirt. To which Ted Kennedy said, ‘You can do both.’” –Jay Leno

“What a nightmare I had last night. I dreamed I was at a Washington party and I had to choose between Dick Cheney taking me on a hunting trip or Ted Kennedy driving me home.” –Jay Leno

“Congressman Patrick Kennedy crashed his car into a barricade on Capitol Hill at 3 o’clock in the morning yesterday. The head of his office said there was no alcohol involved. That’s why it’s a big story, a Kennedy, a car accident and no alcohol? That’s never happened before.” –Jay Leno

“Sen. Ted Kennedy is writing a children’s book with his dog, from the dog’s point of view. Sen. Ted Kennedy has a dog named Splash. Is that the best name for Ted Kennedy’s dog? Isn’t that like that Jack Abramoff guy naming his dog Bribe?” –Jay Leno

“Ted Kennedy was stopped from going on an airline because his name somehow wound up on the no-fly list. Is this really safe for people? Ted Kennedy driving?” –Craig Kilborn

And one more thing, a quote that was probably never heard before outside of the Kennedy compound. “Geez, it’s not my fault she didn’t know how to swim.”
