'I'm pleasantly surprised when people see my growth. I wish my wife saw it too!' Bert Kreischer on whether he has grown as a comedian

Comedian Bert Kreischer opens up about his college days, stand-up comedy, and the Rolling Stone article that came to change his life.

In the Spring of 1997, 24-year-old Bert Kreischer was your run-of-the-mill American college student, but not quite. An English major at the Florida State University in Tallahassee, Bert was in his sixth year at college but had no intention to graduate any time soon, let alone carve himself a career path. He had just one thing on his mind, and that was to drink till the break of dawn, party and, in general, have a great time. Screw what came after.

Now, this sounds like a generic description of any one of millions of similar students across the country, you say. But rest assured, not a single one of them could hold a candle to the wild ride that was Bert's college years. You don't have to take my word for it, or even his; the April issue of the Rolling Stone magazine from that year will do all the talking and then some.
