feed to Mimi’s blog!Well, we found him. DJ Ted Stryker is now “Dean” on Charm School with Ricki Lake on Vh1. Is this any kind of upgrade from his job on Ellen? Maybe, but probably not.
On April 22, 2009 he signed off from Loveline with Dr. Drew, a job he’d held even before his popularity on Ellen.
I hope for the best for Stryker’s future but this doesn’t exactly look like the best yet. Again, if anyone has any insider information or would just like to share your opinion about Stryker, please do.

OK, skimming through web results, these are what I found (besides on Ellen’s site) about Stryker: http://www.spock.com/Ted-Stryker-unkG1d3. I’m assuming it’s accurate even if it’s not up-to-date. A few of the comments were cute…Wally World…just something to read while we find answers. Like spies. ‘Cept we don’t wear ugly trenchcoats. Or are those strictly for detectives? Whatever. Here’s one if you want to know any and everything about his past: http://www.americansuperstarmag.com/media/Aug06/Stryker.php. It’s two years old. His eye makeup looks funny, though and you can read about his life before Ellen. This is Wikipedia’s full bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryker_(disc_jockey) and here is KROQ’s info, pics, interviews; all that: http://www.kroq-data.com/stryker/index.asp. My favorite pic: http://www.kroq-data.com/stryker/gallery/misc/stryker_tima.html. Adorable.
Really a shame he’s gone. Well not gone, gone. Just gone from our TVs every day.

I’ve noticed some of my people searching for Ellen’s DJ, Stryker and, yes, I’m as royally bent as you are. What was it, two seasons ago (?), Tony was Dee-jaying and, sure he was a charming British man at the time. That, of course, was before Stryker came along. I loved Stryker. And I’m assuming some of you did, too. The good news is that he is supposedly moving on to bigger and better things and got offers elsewhere. The bad news is when Tony (hoo…hoo) left he was attempting to become an actor or something and that didn’t exactly play out. All the best of luck to you, Stryker. We never got to see enough of you but you were only completely wonderful to Ellen and, in my opinion, a huge asset to the show.
I’ll try to keep you guys posted on his whereabouts and what he’s up to in the future. Until then, I guess we have to deal with Tony. Hoo…hoo…
