On the Show — Paul Seaburn

[Gene Steinberg]

Paul Seaburn's long, strange trip to paranormal news writing began with a career in tech support, management and sales for two successful computer industry startups. A lifelong love of comedy led him to try standup, but his talent for writing resulted instead in a second career penning jokes for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, other TV shows, many top comedians, an Emmy-winning children's show, a jazz/comedy show on public radio and as a contributor to over 30 collections of humor, trivia and puzzles.

Paul brought his writing and humor skills to the paranormal and strange news world at Mysterious Universe, where he could finally scratch the itch he's had since his youth to become a cross between Robert Ripley and Johnny Carson. "What Would You Say to a Naked Alien?" is a collection of his favorite reports of encounters with quirky extraterrestrials that turned out to be more fun than fearsome, and his thoughts about what he — and you — might do in the same situations.

The main takeaway from this episode among many other things is that to a comic writer “a joke is a string of words leading to a paycheck”.
