R.I.P.: Greg Korin, Comedian and NEPA Radio Personality

Greg Korin ('57-'25)
Greg Korin, a beloved northeastern Pennsylvania comedy legend, radio personality (known on air as Keith Edwards), and longtime Las Vegas stage performer, died unexpectedly Thursday, November 20, 2025, at his home in Las Vegas. He was 67.

No cause of death has been released, though friends say he had been deeply grieving the March 28, 2025, death of his wife, Kerri McInally Korin.

He served as a host and personality at the following stations:
  • WVIA (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre public radio, NPR affiliate)
  • WTLQ (Scranton-area station, formerly known as Q92, focused on adult contemporary and talk)
  • WARM (Scranton AM 590, a historic news-talk and sports station)
He also worked at additional stations nationwide

Best known in NEPA for creating the viral YouTube hit “Heynabonics” and decades of stand-up, theater, and radio work, Korin spent the last decade starring in Evil Dead: The Musical on the Las Vegas Strip. Weeks before his death, he announced a new role in the upcoming Universal Horror Unleashed Vegas production.

A GoFundMe launched by his daughter to cover final expenses has received widespread support from fans and colleagues. A private memorial is planned; details of any public celebration of life have not yet been announced.

Tributes poured in across social media, with fellow entertainers calling him a “genius,” a “legend,” and “the funniest man in the room who made everyone feel like a friend.” Many noted he is now reunited with Kerri, “entertaining the angels.”

Born October 19, 1957, in Great Falls, Montana, Korin also served on the SAG-AFTRA board and had national credits as an actor and producer.
