Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Club gave him the Celebrated Filmmaker Award for Young Einstein. Attended Cardiff Public High School in New South Wales. Worked as a tire fitter to pay his way through the National Art School. In followup to his first movie success, Yahoo was featured on the cover of both TIME and MAD magazines, wrote and starred in his own series of MTV shows in New York and, as a satire on TV reporting, interviewed himself on "60 Minutes." Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Club awarded him the Celebrated Filmmaker Award for Young Einstein (1989). Made an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Newcastle in 1996 for his contribution to cinema arts. Some news reports have confused Yahoo Serious, whose real name is Greg Pead, with the antiques dealer in Sydney named Greg Pead who accused the former Royal butler Paul Burrell of having an affair with him in the 1980s. The two are not the same person nor are they related. He later wagered a trademark battle against the major Internet portel "Yahoo! "in 2000. The case was quickly thrown out because Serious could not prove that he sells products or services under the name "Yahoo" or suffered harm or confusion due to the search engine.
