You've probably seen the story about the man who found shrimp tails (and other unidentified stuff) in his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Tessa posted a great rundown of the situation yesterday...
As the story continues to captivate the internet, with responses from General Mills and shrimp tails and cereal box being checked out by labs, people have gotten curious about the man who made the upsetting discovery. His name is Jensen Karp and there's all kinds of interesting stuff to know about him.
- Karp is married to actress Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga on Boy Meets World
- He is a writer and producer whose credits include WWE Raw, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and the rap battle show Drop The Mic
- Karp owns the pop culture art gallery Gallery1988
- He got a record deal with Interscope at 19, performing as nerd rapper Hot Karl
- During his time as "Hot Karl" Karp worked with Kanye West, Redman, Fabolous, will.i.am, and more
- His memoir (published in 2016 by Random House) was called Kanye West Owes Me $300 & Other True Stories From A White Rapper Who Almost Made It Big
I mean, this guy has lived quite a life. He's also hosted and produced podcasts, written for Howard Stern and FunnyOrDie, and launched an enamel pin company called Patti Lapel.
