Buck Wolf

Buck Wolf

Ken "Buck" Wolf is the weird news guide at About.com, and a member of the Us Weekly Fashion Police.

Wolf writes on film, music and TV, but specializes in offbeat features. His writing has appeared in the Village Voice, the Miami Herald, and New York Newsday, and he's appeared as a guest on Countdown With Keith Olbermann.

One investigative piece succeeded in getting Larry Harmon's Bozo the Clown thrown out of the International Clown Hall of Fame, after he proved that Harmon had falsely described himself as the original Bozo. Wolf was part of the 2001 Peabody Award-winning team at ABC that covered the Sept. 11 disaster.

At ABCNEWS.com from 1997 to 2007, Wolf was entertainment producer and author of "The Wolf Files", a weekly pop culture report that was also featured on ABC radio stations across the country.

A collection of his work at ABC, "The Wolf Files: Adventures in Weird News," was published in 2003 by Globe Pequot Press. [http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=17-0762728531-2]

Wolf, a native of Great Neck, New York, began his writing career working for Generation magazine at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1984. His column, written on a very early Macintosh computer (probably the Mac 128 or at best the 512), was called "The Ken Wolf Show," and had the slogan, "Live! From high atop the basement of Harriman Hall," where the magazine's offices were then located. The magazine's original offices have since been replaced by a tree.
