In this edition of Hefner's blog we would look to introduce you to yet another one of Hefner's Hollywood friends "Casey Jost". His career consists of many different roles he is a head writer for TruTV's "Impractical Jokers" an American hidden camera-practical joke reality television series that premiered on TruTV on December 15, 2011. It follows the four members of the comedy troupe The Tenderloins as they coerce one another into doing public pranks while being filmed by hidden cameras and just like Lu Hefner is he his also a native to Staten Island with a growing career in the music field as well. Casey is a singer/Lead Guitarist of a rock band called Les Vinyl also residing from Staten Island, New York. Their sound is upbeat but they are cool about it. They Don't try too hard and they don't complicate things. The standard two guitars, bass, and drums set up, is a platform for songwriting that is familiar while still being at times unconventional Front-man and lead guitarist Casey Jost applies clever wordplay over distinctive guitar parts. The loose nature of their live performance offers the audience a break from the over-produced world of pop but the familiarity of likable hooks and tones. Casey is also the younger brother to Colin Jost one of the head writers for SNL. Colin has written for Saturday Night Live (SNL) since he was 22 years old and was a Writing Supervisor from 2009-2012.

Jost has published three "Shouts and Murmurs" pieces in The New Yorker magazine, in addition to writing for The New York Times Magazine, the Huffington Post, the Staten Island Advance and Radar and now his younger brother has stepped into the spotlight with the same funny yet witty attitude and is looking to bring a new level of comedy to TV.
