  • Summary

  • 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 Tribute to Stephan Carroll, the mind behind the music of The Fakist
    Dec 31 2022

    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.
