TIL: The story of legendary Meme / ALIENS GUY on History Channel !
Well, you can laugh if you like but I never really knew this fellow's story, and so in brief, here it is! Today I researched it. I even included his Social Media links and link to his Reddit page.
We've all seen the memes forever and I always knew he must have been connected to a show on the History channel and or WRT something about aliens or theories about similar tech or ideas.
His name is Giorgio Tsoukalos.
His picture in memes online are really legendary as we know - but when you hear from or about the “Ancient Aliens" star, he has some pretty neat ideas about space travel (ers), the afterlife, and our natural inquisitiveness as humans.
From all accounts, he's an easygoing guy. When asked about his epic hair, he is quoted as saying it seems that it is slowly being abducted. I thought that was pretty funny, and fitting.
He feels great that the show is receiving such large audiences and people are watching and questioning -- and that his meme status plays a role in this.
He's Swiss born and a 1998 grad of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, and has a BA degree in sports information and communication. For many years he worked as a bodybuilding promoter and a volunteer in IFBB sanctioned bodybuilding contests, including Mr. Olympia. He produced and directed the annual San Francisco Pro Grand Prix in years 2001-2005.
The show has now been on for over 116 episodes, and he is also a producer.
Prometheus Entertainment is the name of the production company and he says they do an excellent job vetting all the experts and guests that appear on the show.
He even has his own Reddit sub category/tag: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/32z4m6/i_am_giorgio_tsoukalos_you_may_know_me_from_the/
And here are his social media links and how he starts his Reddit page description:
" Hello everybody.
