The Fakist: One Last Day

The Fakist: One Last Day

Bill Meeks

This is a story about a flawed man, born of privilege, who only lived for himself. It tells of the last day of his newscast; of how his enemies plotted against him until the final battle, and of how his partner LeAnn abandoned him just when he thought he had it all figured out. It ends with a podcast. It begins in the wreckage of KCOM Studios on the night of Deathember 13th, 2021. In Somewhere West of New York City, the faithful still tune in at six o'clock, waiting for the newscast to start... but it never will. The Fakist died two years ago. The Fakist: One Last Day, a new documentary, starting tonight on WAFM-TV 3.

A recent episode of Where I'm From dedicated to Stephan Carroll, who composed multiple original and parody songs every season throughout the run of The Fakist. The last half is a selection of my favorite stuff he did for us, including the One Last Day theme song.

This week is a little different... I’m remembering and memorializing my longtime friend and musical collaborator Stephan Carroll from Wheeling, WV. I'll cover our history, from a high school computer class to an early YouTube hit with our band Classic Tragic Hero to all the great musical comedy we created for The Fakist. Stay tuned for a profile on a brilliant musician and a dear friend.

Ron Joliver Gets The Opportunity Of His So-Called Lifetime!

"Up To The Minute" anchor Ron Joliver has always been a cash cow for The Fakist, but when Hollywood calls him and his partner Roy Silver up to reboot their favorite 90s show, they set off on a madcap adventure through Tinsel Town. Will they survive Jordan Cartelano's three trials to join the "Hollyweird Elite," or are they doomed to set up a tent in the LA river?

All that, plus the secrets of Tom Cruise's feet are revealed, in the eighth chapter of The Fakist: One Last Day, a standalone story set in the world of The Fakist.

Then, a failed faith healer uncovers a prank that went a bit too far. Plus, famed fitness guru Jim Fitt comes down with a rare, but delicious, disease.

Santa Claus (via his good friend Kelly Rands from The Humor Mill Orlando) joins us to celebrate... Well, the North Pole of course, but mainly Christmas! Santa recalls his early days with Burgermeister Meisterburger, and talks honestly about why he's currently spending most of the year at The Villages in Central Florida. Santa Claus shares his pro tips to a fulfilling Yuletide season, tells us about balancing the demands of his job and his marriage to Mrs. Claus, and plays a new game we invented just for him: WHAT ARE THEY GETTING? PLUS: Santa won't stop calling me Billy.
