===In popular culture=== Keillor's style, particularly his speaking voice, has often been [[parody|parodied]]. *''[[The Simpsons]]'' parodied him in [[Marge on the Lam|an episode]] in which the family is shown watching a Keillor-like monologist on television; they are perplexed at why the studio audience is laughing so much, prompting [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] to ask "What the hell's so funny?" and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] to suggest "Maybe it's the TV." Homer then hits the set, exclaiming: "Stupid TV! Be more funny!"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Snpp.com |url=http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F03.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204084357/http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F03.html |archive-date=December 4, 2014 |access-date=February 5, 2021}}</ref> *On the November 19, 2011, episode of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', cast member [[Bill Hader]] impersonated Keillor in a sketch depicting celebrities auditioning to replace [[Regis Philbin]] as co-host of ''[[Live! with Kelly]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 20, 2011 |title='SNL' Spoofs Garrison Keillor |url=http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/11/20/snl-spoofs-garrison-keillor/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402155054/http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/11/20/snl-spoofs-garrison-keillor/ |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |access-date=March 27, 2015 |work=[[WCCO-TV]] |df=mdy-all}}</ref> *One Boston radio critic likens Keillor and his "down-comforter voice" to "a hypnotist intoning, 'You are getting sleepy now'," while noting that Keillor does play to listeners' intelligence.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Boston.com |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/07/17/air_waves_bostons_public_radio_scene_gets_interesting?mode=PF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080630001727/http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/07/17/air_waves_bostons_public_radio_scene_gets_interesting?mode=PF |archive-date=June 30, 2008 |access-date=February 5, 2021}}</ref> *Pennsylvanian singer-songwriter [[Tom Flannery]] wrote a song in 2003 titled "I Want a Job Like Garrison Keillor's."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2003-11-13 |title=I Want a Job Like Garrison Keillor's |url=http://www.songaweek.com/lyrics/11132003_iwantajoblikegarrisonkeillors.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151103040327/http://www.songaweek.com/lyrics/11132003_iwantajoblikegarrisonkeillors.html |archive-date=November 3, 2015 |access-date=2015-03-04 |publisher=Songaweek.com |df=mdy-all}}</ref> *Two parody books by "Harrison Geillor": ''The Zombies of Lake Woebegotten'' and ''The Twilight of Lake Woebegotten'', were published by [[Night Shade Books]] in 2010 and 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Books by Harrison Geillor |url=http://www.nightshadebooks.com/book_authors/harrison-geillor/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171202200455/http://www.nightshadebooks.com/book_authors/harrison-geillor/ |archive-date=December 2, 2017 |access-date=8 February 2016 |publisher=Night Shade Books |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
