Wiki says : Zoltan Istvan Gyurko,[1] professionally known as Zoltan Istvan (born March 30, 1973), is an American transhumanist,[2] journalist,[3] entrepreneur,[4][5] and futurist.[6][7]

Formerly a reporter for the National Geographic Channel,[8] Istvan now writes futurist, transhumanist, secular, and political themed articles for major media, including The New York Times,[9] Vice's Motherboard,[10] Wired,[11] The Huffington Post,[12] TechCrunch[13] and Newsweek.[14] Istvan regularly appears on television and video channels discussing futurist topics.[15][16][17] He is widely perceived as one of the world's most influential transhumanists and believes transhumanism will grow into a mainstream social movement in the next decade.[15][16][18] Istvan is the author of The Transhumanist Wager, a philosophical science fiction novel.[19][20]

In late 2014, Istvan announced his intent to run for President of the United States in the 2016 election. He ran for his own Transhumanist Party to raise awareness for transhumanist politics issues.[21]

In 2017, Istvan announced his intent to run for Governor of California in the 2018 election as a member of the Libertarian Party.[6][22]

In November 2019, Istvan announced his candidacy for the Republican Party's nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election, hoping to win the GOP nomination against President Donald Trump.[23]

That wasn’t the guy Johnny Carson used to play when he gave answers to questions never asked, is it?

No, that was Carnac the Magnificent. Perhaps Zoltan is Carnac’s cousin.

I didn’t know he’s from Pittsburgh!

Bethel Park. Dormont. South Hills Catholic High School. Same general area that Ron Paul and Barbara Feldon are from.
