I heard Keillor exactly one time on an NPR program while driving. He was giving one of his so-called local color stories and obvoiusly thought it was humorous, but I didn't find it the least bit funny or appealing, so I never listened to him again. There was something about the fact that he could even think that hundreds of thousands of people could find it funny which turned me off.

I have freinds who adore him and so have heard his stuff over the years (though never voluntarily). He always struck me as astronomically pretentious and bursting to the gills with an inner appreciation of his own clever wit, which I never found all that clever or all that witty.
