Geiler Back on the Air
Omaha-based Comedian Matt Geiler (pictured) is hosting a new show on the CW (KXVO-15). Titled “Mix Tape,” the show captures Geiler’s rib-tickling style in a variety of comedy sketches.
“The concept for the show, it’s not a live show, it’s basically some fake music videos from artists that don’t exist, character sketches with music in them, and then there is some crossover into the local music scene,” said Geiler, who is an alum of the prestigious improvisational comedy troupe Second City in Chicago.
“Occasionally, we’ll do a sketch where like Matt Whipkey shows up from Anonymous American, but he’s an ice cream man and he rocks out from behind the ice cream.”
“Mix Tape” airs from 11-11:30 p.m. on Sundays on KXVO.

Matt Perrault is Gay.
Rib-tickling? I thought that phrase was reserved for condom ads.
i'm suprised how many chances Geiler gets in this city.... he is like a cat and has 9 lives.
This guy is a cheese-****. I saw him prepping to do a commercial for Reagan Pontiac, he made fun of his hair for being to spiked for the commercial, and had to "tone it down". What a joke. Go join forces with your dad Tom Park down at H&H.
Rib tickling?
I am the only thing in this city that should be tickled.
Sincerely,
The Perrault's "Tickle me Elmo" doll
I know I'm in the minority on this. But I sure do think Matt Geiler is sexy. Maybe I just like the goofy sense of humor.
What other work is he doing now or has he done?
You know what? I'm fine with this. Maybe because they're not trying to pass it off as a news program.
who?
fake music videos from fake artists? God, that's going to be awesome.
YUK
Another failure/flop another reason not to watch...ho hum
Just in time for Christmas this year....
"Tickle Me" Travis
KXVO is still on the air? Really? Huh....
I've already pre-ordered six of those "Tickle Me" Travis dolls, one for every corner of my apartment and an extra for the closet.
Sincerely,
The Perrault
I love Guerin
I agree, she's good, but I don't get why they're doing all that stuff with her. Is she a native Omahan, or did they import her? And that's not a bad idea by 7:43 PM.
Who is this guy anyway? He sounds about as funny as cancer......
7:15 -- trust me, he's not THAT funny...
i think it's great that someone in the market is producing a show that's not NEWS! Kudos to Geiler and KXVO for being creative and risky!
Agree with 9:15 AM - let's at least give the show a chance.
He AND KXVO have had their chances...I'd rather see Perrault beat a dead horse. I agree, this guy needs to go back to school and learn another trade.
Too bad it's on about 3 hours past my bedtime. Maybe I'll DVR once. I do like a crazy ice cream man every now and again.
"...Maybe I'll DVR once...
Been there... Done that...
Worst thing I've seen since Video Production 101...
30 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
By the way...Geiler is a graduate of the Second City Conservatory Program
not "...of the prestigious improvisational comedy troupe Second City in Chicago...
Nothing on their alumni page about him...
Attending a course to, "Study improvisation as an acting technique and its use in
the development of a Second City style revue..." Does not put one in the ranks of
such alumni as Robert Klein, John Belushi, Steve Carell or Tina Fey.
If his act is as dumb as those comedy promos he's in, he might as well just deliver pizza than jokes (no offense to any pizza delivery people).
Ok so what has he been in that I would have seen ?
Jess...
He was the voice of the Furnace Repairman in the animated: The Archies in Jugman (2003)
OK, I GOTTA SAY THAT THE POPE PROMO IS FUNNY

In the ads for the Reagan Auto Group (Buick, Pontiac, and GMC). He's kinda like a Tom Park Jr.
As someone who appreciates Geiler's highly respected performance history in Chicago, along with a large following of other admirers here who know what comedy is, and as a member of a community that understands how pushing boundaries creates interesting and unpredictable material, let me enlighten you hicks on something: The very reason you hayseeds don't get the humor in this show is exactly WHY it's funny. Now put your pants back on, go to bed, and imagine your Guerin porno. You clowns can't even stick to the topic at hand. Go watch Larry the Cable Guy. I'm betting that is more your speed.
It's unfortunate that so many people have so much time to make comments about something they know so little of...
Matt is a national talent that is hired and asked back by the nations top companies and advertisers because of his performance. He generates revenue for companies that you'll never understand. You obviously don't know the kind of talent it takes to work at Second City, the birthplace for some of the funniest and talented ever comics. Take a minute to think about being on that stage. You know so little of what it requires to succed at that level.
Matt is a national talent that performs on many levels and makes a living at what he does. Some of you that make these comments don't know that he does commercial work for many of the most successful companies and they request his repeat performance.
I know because I hire Matt for my clients who are so pleased with his work.
Matt is one of the top talents in the industry and makes a good living for himself and me.
You can continue with your comments but know that he collects checks and furthers his career while many of you spend your non earning time commenting and making no money. You can go to bed now and dread getting up Monday morning to go to the job you may hate on Monday. Matt will be deciding on which gig to do next, don't you wish you had that opportunity...
IIIIII ddoooooooooon't underSTAND!
Yeah, but does he have nice ta ta's?
If this guy is so successful, one wonders why he keeps popping up on the WKRP of Omaha, even after being fired.
5 will get you 10 he's buying a half hour of some of the cheapest air time in this "hayseed town" to practice his routine. Just seems like when this guy shows up on tee vee, it's later and later in the night. Probably should stick to doing industrials...
9:33 and 9:47--- Possibly Matt or his wife or mom......
Maybe you should pick up Becka's book, it's supposed to help you sell with humor ...
how odd that you speak highly of Matt's humor and talent but yet, you lack both of them.
Now, this may be news to you but pissing people off sort of has the opposite effect on people and it makes them not like what you are selling.
Now, if you don't have anything nice to say..shut the hell up so we can quietly wish we had the opportunities we are so obviously lacking.
I apologize for my unnecessary name-calling in my 9:33 post, and want to clarify that I was not calling the fine city of Omaha a "hayseed town" as Silver Sow suggested. My poor choice of the words "hick" and "hayseed" were meant to describe narrow-minded individuals who would actually trash a guy who is just trying to make them laugh, and they were not geographically motivated. And by the way, I've seen his ta ta's, and they are nice. Peace all, I can't wait for tomorrow's episode!
Is Sheila Brummer leaving Channel 6 a hoax? (See the posts under "KETV Tops Omaha TV News Viewership")
Her bio is still on the WOWT web site: http://www.wowt.com/station/bios/news/1631752.html
You'd think they would have pulled it by now if she didn't work there any longer.
Heard from an inside source Brummer she was "escorted out."
Now if they could only do that with the other some of the other anchors. It's really a bad newscast. Mastre is so painful to watch and Tracy is SO bad. Go 7, the better news station.
Sweet beat down! Sure didn't take him long to tuck his tail. Last sentence was priceless. At least in his apology he gave us a review of Matt's ta ta's! You rule!
Nenos@1:23am is just a pop up ad and a possible virus
DO NOT CLICK
Was it a porno link? Then I wouldn't mind getting a virus, or an std.
I guess we should give Matt Geiler an E for effort in his latest endeavor. However, I don't see "Mix Tape" garnering more than 50 or 60 viewers--tops. That's roughly a third of the number of viewers he had for the KXVO 10:00pm News. I hope I'm wrong because you just don't see locally produced programming like this. Break a leg, Matt.
Ah hell ...I get 50 or 60 viewers when I mow the lawn, let's hope to hell his show gets more than that !
Ok I'm totally kidding about my audience, but a lot of people do drive by.
For the record, I have the dvr set just in case I fall asleep.
I do wonder though, you think they'll show his ta-ta's ?
If you've never seen Matt perform live (and you should), trust me the question is not IF he will show his ta-ta's, it's WHEN. Keep up the good work Geiler.
what's up with the main anchor teams on Sunday night??
The guy has loads of comedic talent, as anyone who has seen him with the Weisenheimers would know. Not only is he funny, he's smart and -- perhaps rarest of all in show biz or anywhere else -- tasteful. You'd have to have a head made of balsa wood not to hope something like this could succeed locally.

Someone Who Knows Comedy Better Than Most Of The Losers On This Blog (and no, I am not Matt Geiler or even a buddy of his)
Amen 9:13 PM. 7:44 can't even come up with a funny name like mine; he must be a hoot at parties with his superiority complex.
"Matt Perrault is Gay." Now, THAT is funny!
Hey, April 24, 2008 12:34 PM guy, YOU know comedy! You should have your own KSVO show.
Is no one safe from your biting wit?
What's KSVO? What town is that in? Certainly not Omaha, and this is an Omaha media-based blog, allegedly. Nobody on here has a sense of humor anymore. Next topic.
So, did anyone see it ? Thoughts ?
I haven't watched it yet.
nope..haven't seen it yet
I watched it. There were a couple of funny parts, the voo-doo song was my favorite. The only thing is...it sort of reminded me of Tom Greene and he was only funny for about a minute.
This show must have been in the works for a while, or they had some stuff that needed a home. One of his videos had trees that were all leafed out. So it was filmed last summer, or he was filming somewhere other than Omaha.
The VooDoo song was funny, I guess, but the annoying Hebrew song was just that. Eventually, I blacked out, thankfully. I came up with a drinking game where you drink everytime you wish you were doing something else. So I polished off over half of a 1.5 litre bottle of Svedka Vodka in about 20 minutes or so, and I don't remember anything else!
A poor man's Weird Al, without the talent. Who does this guy have pictures of that he's able to keep getting on the air? "National talent"? Hardly.
Next week on 'The Tape':
A piece of toasted white bread and a plain bagel duke it out in the great Jelly vs. Cream Cheese debate; a tribute to Tree Rats in "'Dem Nutty Squirrels"; and the coup de grace, 'Cubicle farters'.
I can already feel the douche chills shiverin' me timbers.
When does the DVD set get released?
Oh ! Oh ! I got 5 bucks on cream cheese !
Partial to jelly ;-)
Maybe in week 3 he'll do a tribute to The Humpty Dance:
Do the Humpty Hump, Watch Me Do the Humpty Hump. Let's get a little of that bass groove here.
Crazy Wack Funky, anyone can play this game. Step off I'm doin' the hump.
Dear Omahahonians:
Matt Geiler is all man love and you should suck on his wee wee or else you will be subject to the following:
*fat
*no life
*taco bell, walmart, and target
*working at autopart making store in the department of folding pieces of paper to stuff boxes that have instructions in them
*churches that tell you not to live
or laugh
In other news:
Shelia Brummer's profile is now gone from WOWT.COM
Please let us know the next time Sheila goes out for groceries, stops at an ATM, has a hair appointment or participates in a goat sacrifice.
Some of the obsessions about what happen to other people (read: gossip) is borderline bizarre behavior. We get it, she's gone, now it's time to move on. What about Gary Kerr's bio, or Dale Munson's?
John Kimball -- isn't that Sheila Brummer out front of your house clipping hedges???
They need to add more people and make it like an OMAHA SATERDAY NIGHT LIVE.
Hey John, Sheila just got a salad at Panera Bread. She's probably headed to get gas next. Anybody know what happened to her bio on WOWT.com?
And to the tool at 6:36 PM, it's Saturday, not Saterday. Ugh.
Come on Howie, give Matt Perrault a chance -- he's already flunked spelling three times. He'll get it right one of these days.
Can we move on to something else - like what the heck happened to Mookie at the brew? And where did Lester come from, he was part time on the Brew, then went away quickly and now he is the afternoon guy? I like Lester, don't get me wrong. I like him at the Z too. But no offense to Lester, they need a hot chick with a show too, so either bring back Lucy or get a radio babe.
Looks like the city got their 20 year contract for the CWS. Bye Bye Rosenblatt
Hey JR, check with the Brummer stalker, he/she/it can she if she's working yet - maybe she could fill that opening on the Brew.
Matt Geiler is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Mixtape, I think it is incredibly funny.
Look at this hack trying to boost his own ratings.
The people on this blog just don't seem to tolerate anything positive. Omaha sure seems like an angry town! Lighten up.
Hey 1:09 PM, what gives you the right to be happy? Who do you think you are, Pete Positive? Quit telling us not to be angry and bitter. I hate it when people can't be negative and wallow in the same muck as the rest of us dorks. Who are you to think Geiler has any talent? You think you know more about funny than me? Ha.
The dead horse was beaten three sentences ago. All of that was sarcasm, d-bags, so save your cracks for the next Perrault bash.
Here's one - every take a Perrault so big your pants fit better when you're finished? (Thanks Tater Salad White).
I know, I typed an extra y. Let it go and take a Perrault.
My friends and I are happy that Matt is back on the air. We won't miss an episode!!
That makes 1 of us.
There is no room in this town for two people in media named Matt. This assclown has got to go.
I am the only one that matters. I am the reason for the season. I am what you fear and what you worship Omaha.
So suck on that.
Sincerely,
The Perrault
You're right -- the assclown has to go. When are you leaving, Perrault? Now couldn't be soon enough.
8:20...
Do you not realize my greatness yet? Have not yielded to the inevitable realization that I rank amongst the gods of Mt. Olympus or whatever that hill in Greece is called?
Don't you yet believe that I am more super than Superman? That my intelligence is only rivaled by Einstein and that weird dude that Russel Crowe played in that movie?
Don't you understand that all of your women want me and that every man wants to be me?
Haven't you figured out that I am beyond just radio, beyond just sports, beyond media. I am everything. I am the be all to end all. My ego can cash that check people. I am that damn good.
Like it or lump it losers.
Sincerely,
The Perrault
Your infinite wisdom is needed on the April 17 blog, your minions are calling for you.
In your own feeble mind, maybe...in actual terms, you are about as relevant as my last bowel movement...only you smell twice as bad.
You suck...the rest of us rule, and you aren't even good enough to be a Jim Rome wannabe. Time for you to go after a job more toward your skill set...I hear McDonald's needs a janitor off of 84th and I-80, although you may not even be qualified for that gig.
Later, assclown...
You know of this opening because they just fired you from that gig?
9:55 a.m.
Please. Jim Rome couldn't carry my jock strap. He only thinks he is big time. I AM bigtime. Just because the national syndication outfits have failed to recongize my brilliance that is not my fault.
I would never work at a McDonald's since those type of places, with their cheap burgers and family atmospheres annoy me to no end. I am high class all the way baby. I do my remotes from formerly smoky bars and strip clubs in Iowa. Class all the way baby. Class.
So put your jealousy to the side. I still welcome you my son into the flock of The Perrault. My tent is large. My arms are open. Come to me and be saved.
Sincerely,
The Perrault
Do you realize that Jim Rome isn't Burning? Jim Rome writes with pink ink and likes anything with velcro on it.
Seems like you have plenty of time to sit around and bash me. Maybe that's because you...don't...have..a..job?? (gasp!) Have fun re-wallpapering your mom's basement. You cannot and will not defeat me, for I AM THE PERRAULT.
*sigh*
I am so confused, there are as many Perraults on here as there are anonymous people. The sad part is I don't even know what a Perrault is besides a synonym for a big shit ....
Now I am not bashing a Perrault...I just need to know where can I learn what a Perrault is so I can talk shit knowledge-ably-ness...I so just made that word up. I'm so funny....right ? Right ? I'm funny huh ?
Sorry,so many other people seem to be commenting solely for attention and praise and I wanted to play too.
The real Perrault is a two-bit talking hack on a one-bit radio station in Omaha that has lower ratings than a Mexican station.
Unfortunately for both the real Perrault and the frauds who post here under his name, none of them have any discernable talent other than overinflating their importance to the Omaha media scene.
Other than that, I'm sure they're nice guys...
I ain't Nice
I thought this was about Mixtape? Was I mistaken?
What a horrible waste of key strokes and time. Yeah, that kind of peer pressure will really get everybody thinking, 'Wow, he's brilliant, we really should stay on topic.' Yuck.
Yeah, there was a mistake in the first word of the name. No need to P-A about that. Jess, you can play along any time, but I'm not sure you're obxonious enough!
I too once wandered down the passageway behind the file cabinet. I have seen the world through the eyes of Matt Perrault. I now know that he is nothing more than a schmuck trying to make his way throught life like anybody else, except there's way to much Jim Rome, and not enough original thinking.
11:36--the article was about mixtape, but we're sort of over that now.
K, thanks.
I watched about 5 minutes of it (the "Real Man" song and beginning of the song that followed it) last night and HAD to turn it. Frankly, it reminded me of a tape an 8 year old would make if you let them have a video camera. Flat out unwatchable.
6:37 -- I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but that's 5 minutes of your life that you'll never EVER get back.
My condolonces for your loss...
I don't get what's so big about Matt Geiler. I've watched this show twice and most of his "musical improv" stuff sounds the same...that ho hum reggae beat is certainly doing nothing to keep me awake at 11pm on a Sunday night. I just don't find the guy funny. I agree with the previous poster that the Voodoo Song skit was the best so far and that's only because Monty Eich from his improv group The Weisenheimers was in it. They need to give that guy a show.
Watched this stuff last night; wasn't impressed enough to watch an entire song. I've read all that's been written here about the guy, and I understand he's supposed to be a respected pro. But really, it's not that original and not that well-done. I'd put this half-hour on the same level as a high school talent night skit. If us "hicks from the sticks" don't get it, that's fine. He should move on to a market that does "get it".
I agree with my mouth. Jess, nice smackdown earlier. Give Jess a show!
At least Matt Geiler is talented enough to warrant 100 posts here. Then again, that's really not saying much...
hey May 5, 2008 11:10 AM
-- that is only because Jim and Sean can't come up with enough stories in this market to talk about..
Ohhhhh a show....I hadn't thought of that.
Yes, I'll have a show please.
11:10 have you read all the posts ? It ain't Matt's talent that got us here dammit ! This was hard work with bitching and moaning about many things, pissing matches and taking a shit.
Wow, that Jess sure is one fiesty woman! Yeah, give her a show!
Actually Jess, it's called taking a Perrault. Maybe that's a topic you could examine on your new show! Sounds like you could get plenty of pointers from people who have had experiences taking those; maybe you could turn it into a goofy rap song.
To all of you, you can lick my left one!
I am a ratings hero for Journal! Have you seen my latest ratings? I have caught up to The Zone or whatever that worthless station is on Dodge Street is. I am now, as it should be, the greatest sports radio, nay, radio talk show host that this pissant town has ever, or will ever, see.
Bow down Kugler and other guy. Move over Becca. I am on the pedestal that all of you want to knock over. Because I am that damn good.
Sincerely,
The Perrault
P.S. Jess, you have my phone number and my blog site. Give me a shout out sometime and I'll show you what The Perrault is all about.
Rock on.
That may be the most unintentionally funniest thing the artist formerly known as Matt Perrault has ever typed on here.
Even funnier is the fact that he actually BELIEVES he is the best in Omaha. Of course, he's the ONLY ONE who believes that, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
And speaking of evidence...time for me to go and take my afternoon Perrault. Hope there's enough toilet paper left to clean up afterward...
That last poster believes that was Perrault and not a Perrault poser. So, Jess, he called you out. You gonna take that?
Uhm, I ....well no I am not ! See, the thing is I don't have this phone number he speaks of.
I found the blog site just now, Perrault or poser---bring it ......I ain't skerd.
Note to the scariest thing -- uh, no, it was not Jess I'm calling out. It's Perrault or his wannabe poser.
Although caling them out might be a little overboard -- more like calling them schmucks.
Uh, 12:42 dude, one above yours was the one being referenced. He/It must have wanted to see P or Poser coming out of the closet.
You people don't know my phone number? C'mon, I am the most dominate sports radio talk show host in the world and you don't know it? Don't you listen to my show? Wait...don't answer that...
Besides, everyone knows that I am slot number one in everyone's speed dial. When you ask the operator for information, they connect you to me because I am THE SOURCE of information.
I am...
The Perrault
I know The Perrault's phone number...
It's 1-800-DIP-SHIT
Matt Parrault is the best. He should be the voice of the Huskers.
3:06 p.m. Thank you for that post Perrault.
Sean, Jim, please post the A.P. news award winners. Taylor Wilson is the top photojournalist in the market. And Omaha News bows down to Nabil Molai.
A.P. news award winners? Didn't The Perrault sweep every honor? Oh, wait, he swept up the floors after everyone left the banquet. They gave the custodial staff the night off because they didn't want them exposed to the foul scent of people taking Perrault's throughout the festivities.
I need to go take a Perrault right now...had a greasy crossainwich from Burger King and my stomach's a-rumblin'....
Was that one of those new crossainwiches they've been advertisin' on the TV the last few weeks? Those look yummy, and it sounds like they produce giant Perrault's. Sounds like a great way to clean out the plumbing.
Isn't winning a regional AP award akin to stealing dog shit?
Nope -- not nearly that prominent.
I do not need awards to remind me of how great I am. I simply wake up every morning, look in the mirror, and see greatness.
I am in shock and awe of myself everyday.
Sincerely,
The Perrault
And you are the only one...the only shock and awe we experience in relation to Perrault is from the fact that you're oblivious to your own ineptness.
I know elementary school kids with more game than Matt Perrault.
1:09 you are pathetic.
I am officially, in the demographic that matters most, OFFICIALLY the MOST LISTENED TO SPORTS TALK RADIO SHOW IN THIS COW TOWN OF A CITY!
Arbitron only confirms the greatness that I am. I cannot stop talking about it. You should not stop talking about it.
With all due respect to Muhammad Ali,
I AM THE GREATEST!
Stick that in your pie hole and eat it!
Sincerely,
The Perrault
I'm number 1!
I'm number 1!
I'm number 1!
Sincerely,
The Perrault
Tune in to my station to hear more about me being number 1!
Actually Perrault -- you're number 2. And a stinky one at that, worthy of a good
FLLLUSH

"I Want Your Voodoo" is good enough to be released as a single.

For some, such as myself, who want to be a comedian, matt geiler is a definate insperation. And honestly most of you are just jealous, say what you want, its just going to be a waste of your time. Matt Geiler is awsome, keep up the good work Matt
