Writer/Still Photographer/Web Lump
After
graduating from CSU Fullerton with a BA in Psychology and a
minor in rock and roll, Jerry Renek attended the East Iowa Poly-Technical College Of Bait & Tackle Graduate School where
he pioneered exciting new techniques in saltwater vegan
chumming. His Chum Pot
X-3000 took top honors at the 1996 Western Regional Fishing
Expo and, in a bit of genius cross-marketing, won a "Stiffy" at Adult World 1997.
When his career as a novelist flamed out, Jerry pursued career options in Hollywood. It wasn't long before he was involved in a secret marriage to TV's Blossom, Mayim Bialik, which ended badly when she found out about it. Jerry then worked as the personal assistant for Andy Dick, a job that frequently involved writing press releases claiming that Mr. Dick was not responsible for the impending strangling death of Emilio Estevez.
Mr. Renek's first venture into television comedy had him landing a staff writer gig on "Moesha." When all his scripts ended with Moesha going on a murder rampage and becoming a Philip Glass impersonator, Jerry was quietly bought out of his seven figure contract.
He decided to hit the exotic high seas world of the merchant marines.
Just two days later, docked in San Diego, seasick and stinking of cod, Jerry left the high seas and jetted back up to LA with dreams of becoming a wealthy novelist, the kind with a pony tail, not the kind with piercings.
While crossing the street one fateful February day, Jerry was struck by a white Bronco driven by a doped-up Marty Shields. As part of the legal settlement, Jerry was given Marty's three Olympic medals (one silver, two bronze) and complete creative control Marty's Corner (thus explaining these crew biographies and frequent on-air references to Karl Marx, recycling, Gary Coleman and the short-lived but fabulous fabulous fabulous Cleopatra 2525), which he quickly set about turning into a pro-choice, bikini-clad, butter-soaked version of FRAGGLE ROCK.
A publicity-shy Taurus with a knack for soups, Jerry enjoys annoying people by incorrectly using "milieu" or "chiaroscuro" in conversations. His interests include Jim Nabors memorabilia, erotic stained glass, pickling, nudism and electricity. His French-language band, The Harem Guards, is hard at work on their next album tentatively titled either A FLAPJACKS KINDA LOVE or ALL THE CHEESE IN ALL THE WORLD. Jerry once drove Volvos but a dishonest mechanic (you know who you are, jerkass) turned him against the Swedish workhorses. Jerry continues to be a staunch supporter of catch-and-release. He got into a fight with Norman Mailer at Mr. Mailer's funeral.
