Jean Parker Shepherd (July 26, 1921 – October 16, 1999) was an American raconteur, radio and TV personality, writer and actor who was often referred to by the nickname Shep.
With a career that spanned decades, Shepherd is best known to modern audiences for the film A Christmas Story (1983), which he narrated and co-scripted, based on his own semi-autobiographical stories.
Born on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, Shepherd was raised in Hammond, Indiana, where he graduated from Hammond High School in 1939. The movie A Christmas Story is based on his days growing up in Hammond's southeast side neighborhood of Hessville. As a youth he worked briefly as a mail carrier in a steel mill and earned his Amateur Radio license, sometimes claiming he got it at 16, other times saying he was even younger. Shepherd was a lifelong White Sox fan.
During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Shepherd then had an extensive career in a variety of media.

Part 1: Jean Shepherd's "I Libertine" Literary Hoax
New York radio personality Jean Shepherd had a midnight to 5:30 AM show on station WOR in the early 1950s. He and his listeners created the "I Libertine" hoax. Unlike most hoaxes in which a few conspirators are involved, this one involved anyone who listened to Shepherd's late night show. It worked because those who listened to late night radio were separate from the mass of daytime people.
