Fake Yo-Yo Master Strikes Local Morning Shows

Posted by samzenpus on from the say-no-to-the-yo dept.

Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser has managed to fake his way onto several local morning shows in Wisconsin and Missouri over the past month. Kenny bills himself as a yo-yo master with a message for kids, but what he delivers is several uncomfortable minutes reminiscent of an Andy Kaufman appearance. Chris Papst, who anchors an early show that had Kenny as a guest said, "You never know because some people on TV are just very nervous and they say things they otherwise wouldn't say. He said, 'It's hard for me to get gigs because I make $2,000 a show and the schools won't pay it.' Right then, I thought something was weird."

    this has been discussed at great length over the past couple of weeks on most of the big yoyo forums. The unambiguous conclusion is that he is a fraud. The tricks he can be seen to perform are beginner and intermediate level, not even slightly impressive to anyone in the yoyoing community.
