In making his pitch, Guehrke informed the stations that K-Strass uses his "zany sense of humor" and an assortment of yo-yo and juggling tricks to promote an environmentally friendly message to children. The email solicitation also reels off a laundry list of fictional accomplishments, such as a nomination for the (nonexistent) "Walt Greenberg Award" for yo-yo excellence.
Then, once producers have booked him as a guest, K-Strass shows up for his studio spot wearing green pants or shorts, a yellow cap and suspenders. It doesn't take long to see that he is anything but a yo-yo master.
This guy is awesome.

After K-Strass' appearance on WSAW's "Sunrise Seven," the station contacted Guehrke for an explanation. His response: "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, Kenny is growing through some rough times and we wish him well in the future." The station also got in touch with K-Strass, who maintained that he is indeed a yo-yo expert who takes his environmental advocacy work very seriously. However, WSAW isn't buying it.
