Yaqi is a guy who did tickling videos, and one day was interviewed by Howard Stern.

This obviously was a big deal, since that brought it into the mainstream a little.

Howard adopted the tickle chair, and several not-A-List celebrities strapped on in and got tickled by Stern.

Others probably know more about him than I do, so I'll let them fill in more info.....

Seek and you shall find. There's a search box above here, and on the web.

Its not just Stern, he's gotten airplay on a couple of mainstream TV shows as well.

I don't know if he's still there, but he was in Houston for a while. The local Fox news station even did a brief (lighthearted and somewhat supportive) human interest piece on him. If you skim through the archives you may find it.

He also used to have a Youtube channel called EmoDog21Ohio which seems to be gone. It had a clip of his Howard Stern appearance, an appearance on an MTV pilot called "Beyond the Classifieds" that wasn't picked up, a few dramatic pieces with Humanistic tendencies, and a 9 minute vlog detailing his bouts with sarcoidosis.

He is one of the early pillars of the community and a kindred spirit.

I heard that he was a big time asshole.

I hear if you kill him, you become him.

In all seriousness, Yaqi you're a legend!

 

[WheresThe Clip?]

Woody Allen once said that if he came back in another life he would want to be Warren Beatty's fingertips; I want to be Yaqi's

 

[StillJustSteph]

Funny, i was wondering the very same thing. However, my husband filled me in, as Lou is a pretty big Howard Stern guy. He has such a fun name.

 

[GC4AH]

Man Yaqi is a legend. This guy's videos introduced me to the world of tickling Thank you Yaqi!!

 

[ChicagoDavid]

He’s the lucky bastard who gets to tickle Luxtickles.
