}}Theodor Capitani von Kurnatowski (born March 19, 1980), known professionally as Theo Von, is an American stand-up comedian, podcaster, television personality, host, and actor. In 2000, while in college, he appeared as a cast member of the MTV reality television series Maximum Velocity Tour. He was then a contestant on four seasons of MTV's series Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Seasons (2002), The Gauntlet (2003-2004), Battle of the Sexes 2 (2004-2005) and Fresh Meat (2006). From 2013 to 2014, he hosted the comedy game show Deal with It. Since 2016, he has hosted This Past Weekend, a twice-weekly podcast which alternates between interviews with guests and solo shows. Early life Theo Von was born Theodor Capitani von Kurnatowski, in Covington, Louisiana, the son of Gina Capitani and Roland von Kurnatowski Sr. He has an older brother and two younger sisters, all of whom currently reside in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His father was originally from Nicaragua and was 70 years old when Theo was born.[2] Von's hometown of Covington sits in a region Theo claims as "The Stray Animal Belt", a geographical distribution of stray animals spanning from the Southeast to the upper Midwest states.[3][4] Career In 2009, Von popularized "crank texting" (sending a text message to random phone numbers to incite conversations), and began his "crank texting" blog, which was picked up as a column by CollegeHumor a year later.[5][6] Road RulesVon gained fame on Maximum Velocity Tour for which he was recruited as a 19-year-old college student. After the show ended, Von was harassed by locals in Louisiana.[7] Upset at this reaction when the show ended in 2000, he moved to Los Angeles at age 23.[8] When he moved to Hollywood, talent agents would not give him a chance, viewing him as a reality TV star.[7] It took years to shake the reality TV star image and establish himself as a comedian.[9] Deal with ItVon hosted the TBS hidden camera show Deal With It, executive produced by Howie Mandel, for its run of three seasons from 2013 to 2014.[10] Von has also been seen on The Arsenio Hall Show, Hello Ross, Chelsea Lately and Watch What Happens Live. Allegedly with (podcast)In 2015 Von started a weekly podcast with Matthew Cole Weiss called Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss. Two totally opposite friends – comedian Theo Von and filmmaker/journalist Matt Cole Weiss - compete to see who has better “alleged" tales of celebrities, hilarity, trauma, dating, success and failure from their years living in Hollywood.
