Every Time I DieLead singer Keith Buckley of New York metalcore band Every Time I Die has reportedly signed on with Comedy Central to write a sketch show with comedian Rob Fee and writer/director Brandon Dermer.
The charismatic frontman (and hilarious too, if you read his Twitter feed) has commented on the appointment, stating: "I will be writing a Comedy Central digital sketch with Rob Fee and writer/director Brandon Dermer. Brandon is currently fulfilling a residency at Comedy Central as their head writer/director for digital one offs.
"Me and Brandon are also working on several other projects together. This is my official statement. I fucking hate talking about myself."
The news was revealed through Fee's Facebook page, where he posted, "A bit of exciting news: Comedy Central brought me on to start writing sketches for them, along with my lovely pal Keith Buckley. I can't wait for you guys to see them, which will be difficult not to because I am personally going to write the urls on pieces of construction paper and mail them to each of your respected homes."
Buckley is no stranger to comedy, sporadically running a "From The Office Of Dr. Keith Buckley" column back in 2012 exclusively on absolutepunk.net, wherein he answers real questions from readers of the website.
Check out a few excerpts below from a column dated November 2012.
"Dr. Keith,
My buddy has been dating this girl over the internet for a year now. He's convinced she's real and not a dude. They've never met and all 10+ plans to meet up have fallen through. He insists their relationship is built on trust. We have proof that his girlfriend isn't who she says she is but don't know how to tell him. Any advice on breaking the news to him?
This is an extremely delicate situation to be certain. You don’t want your friend to resent you but you care enough about him to insist that he knows the truth. Wait until his birthday, for sure. Then, tell him that as a gift you and your buddies have flown his lady in so the two of them could finally meet. Take him to a VFW hall where your friends are waiting with huge, blown up pictures of what his girlfriend really looks like and when he comes through the door, egg him. Laugh hysterically at him for being such an idiot for so long and make sure nobody is blocking the camera you have set up which is broadcasting everything to a stickam account that you’ve invited everyone on facebook to watch.
Hello Sir,
I'm 20 years old and I just quit my job of 4 years due to new management being put in place and the new boss was a complete asshole, and he knows it...because I told him. I live by myself and finding a Job here is quite hard at the moment, and as much as I love them, I don't want to move back in with my parents - That would require selling most of my stuff. So, as you should've naturally assumed I need a new job and fast. Should I have secured a new job before I quit my old one, or did I do the right thing by sticking it to the man?
I subscribe to the thought that if you have a plan B, you will always rely on plan B. I didn’t always think this but sometimes outlooks change. this mantra, while extremely optimistic proves to be equally as unrealistic as it has cost me a great deal of money, time, mental and physical health so its probably a terrible thing to keep believing in. I just tend to trust that things will be taken care of as long as I keep my eyes open. I’m not opposed to freaking out spontaneously and quitting a job without having another one in line, but make sure that after you do you stay aware. Look for clues as to where you should make the next turn. Your next job might not even be in a related field. For instance, if after you quit you come to the realization that you lack any sort of discernible talent and motivation, it just means you should start a music blog."
