In 1993 my fortunes took an unexpected turn when my passion for following late-night television comedy-talk programs exploded into a newsletter … and then an invitation to write for the storied Village Voice about late-night TV … and a career covering the dominant cultural force in our lives.After contributing to the Voice, New York Observer, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and other publications, I was hired in 1996 as the television critic at the Kansas City Star. I left in 2012 to go into publishing with my wife Diane Eickhoff, a historian.II was coaxed back onto the critic's couch in 2018, serving until 2022 as senior editor of Primetimer. And from that came my pride and joy, The Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV.After 25 wonderful years in Kansas City, we have returned to Evanston, Illinois, and live in the heart of the Reba Place Church community, where Diane and I met and were married.
