Career
In his early days at the Ticket, the Great Gordo hosted a late night weekend show, from midnight to 2 am which included "Jeremy" and his original hypnotic renditions of pop songs along with myriad intoxicated and odd bird callers. The show eventually morphed into his Saturday morning show "The Rant". The Rant tenure included a couple of well known Ticket personalities as co-hosts, "GenX" Davey Lane and Corby Davidson. He started with "The Hardline" where his on air Lambeau Field escapades landed him jail. In addition to his notable radio career, Keith has also found success in other forms of media.Television
