 Biography: Aaron Karo has made his mark on today's college-age kids by writing a column he started on a whim. Dashing off his freshman year thoughts to a group of 20 friends via email, his Ruminations newsletters quickly became more and more popular, now reaching 40,000 readers via email and Karo's website. The column features his often short, stream-of-consciousness thoughts on everything from roommates to dating to a topic near and dear to his heart-drinking, which is featured prominently throughout both collections of his work, Ruminations on College Life and his latest, Ruminations on Twentysomething Life. Since graduating from The University of Pennsylvania, Karo has spent his time in New York, trying his hand at Wall Street before leaving that tucked-in-shirt world for the comforts of working from home, as a writer and comedian, appearing at various comedy clubs and on VH1's I Love the 90's, as well as signing a deal with Twentieth Century Fox for his own sitcom, The Whatever Years. The self-proclaimed "recovering frat boy" seems to have almost turned over a new leaf, even tearing up slightly at his book party when thanking his friends, girlfriend and mom. Aw. But lest you think Karo's gone soft on you, read on for his take on fans, friends, and women in wife-beaters. * In partnership with Agency for the Performing Arts |
