He soon began stripping at private birthday and bachelorette parties. The senior stripper caught they attention of the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom" radio show, on which he was interviewed and later featured in the show's advertisments. Nasser also strutted his stuff on the urlLink "Maury Povich Show," appearing in a segment titled, "We're Totally Opposite, but We're Madly in Love.
