Gilbert
Gottfried
From
"The Aristocrats"
and Comedy Central's
"Roast of Bob Saget"
After spending several years starting at age
15 mastering the art of stand-up comedy, Gilbert Gottfried
caught the eye of the producers of the legendary NBC late
night comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” who hired
him as a cast member. Gottfried's work in television soon
led to roles in film, such as "Beverly Hills Cop II,”
"Problem Child," "Problem Child II," "Look
Who's Talking II" and "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane."
He was also the host of the very popular late night movie
series "USA Up All Night." After his stellar performance
as the wise cracking parrot, Iago, in the Disney classic "Aladdin,"
Gottfried became one of the most recognizable voice-over talents.
His signature voice can be heard in several commercials, cartoons
and movies, including the frustrated duck in the AFLAC Insurance
commercials.
Gottfried has been a regular on the new "Hollywood Squares"
and is a frequent guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno" and "The Howard Stern Show." He also
recently appeared in the hit comedy documentary "The
Aristocrats." "Gilbert Gottfried Dirty Jokes"
was recently released on both DVD and CD, featuring 50 non-stop
minutes of Gottfried telling the funniest and filthiest jokes
ever. Most recently, Gottfried appears as one of the roasters
of Bob Saget on Comedy Central.

Christopher
Titus
From
ABC's "Big Shots"
and Fox's "Titus"
Christopher Titus jokes about things most comics
would find impossible to make funny. Custody battles, insanity,
family suicides, heart attacks, and fist fighting his father
are all topics to be confronted, not hidden from. "I
think our collective psychosis is hilarious. With the world
moving as fast as it is, if we weren't dysfunctional, we couldn't
function," says Titus.
Titus is that most rare of comics in that his material is
edgy and pushes the envelope, but is still accessible and
meaningful to the common audience. After much experimentation,
he debuted his one man show, "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding,”
at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles, where the audience gave
him a standing ovation. The show provided the basis for his
hit sitcom “Titus,” which ran on FOX from 2000-2002.
Titus has also appeared on a number of other television shows
including “Premium Blend,” “The Tonight
Show,” “Politically Incorrect” and Comedy
Central’s USO Comedy Tour. He was a host of Comedy Central’s
“Live at Gotham” in 2006 and can currently be
seen playing CEO Brody Johns on the new ABC series “Big
Shots.”

Eddie
Griffin
From
"Def Comedy Jam"
and "Undercover Brother"
A popular comic turned actor who started his
career on-stage as a dare, funnyman Eddie Griffin's memorable
supporting roles in such films as Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
have built the comedian an ever-growing fan base and a path
to his first starring role in 2002's Undercover Brother. With
a comedic style reminiscent of such classic comics as Richard
Pryor and Redd Foxx, Griffin gained exposure opening for comic
Andrew Dice Clay on a 22-city tour and later in a series of
impromptu performances at Los Angeles' popular Comic Store.
Quickly following with performances on HBO's
Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam and a Cable Ace Award-nominated
special, Griffin began branching out into acting. Roles in
such films as The Last Boy Scout (1991), Coneheads (1993),
and Jason's Lyric (1994) soon led to the sitcom “Malcolm
and Eddie” in 1996. After headlining 2001's Double Take
alongside Orlando Jones, Griffin earned his leading-man status,
and with his role as Anton Jackson in 2002's Undercover Brother,
it seemed as if Griffin had conquered not only the stage,
but the silver screen as well.

Janeane
Garofalo
From
"Ratatouille"
and "Saturday Night Live"
Janeane Garofalo's comedy is cynical, harsh,
and yet somehow still charming. Her topical rants often make
fun of popular culture, politics, and the pressures on women
to conform to body image ideals promoted by the media. Garofalo
is a self-described pessimist: "I guess I just prefer
to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty.
And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth."
She began in stand-up comedy and then moved into television
in the early '90s as part of “The Ben Stiller Show”
on Fox, and then as a regular on “Saturday Night Live”
and “The Larry Sanders Show.” She appeared in
independently produced comedies such as “Reality Bites”
and “The Truth About Cats and Dogs,” as well as
more dramatic roles in “Cop Land,” “Permanent
Midnight,” and the “West Wing” on NBC. In
2004 Garofalo made the leap to radio as co-host of Air America’s
“Majority Report,” a syndicated show critical
of the George W. Bush administration. Most recently she lent
her voice to the animated series “Freak Show”
on Comedy Central and to last year’s hit film “Ratatouille”
with Patton Oswalt. In 2004, she was selected as #99 on Comedy
Central's list of the 100 greatest stand-ups of all time.

Jamie
Kennedy
From
"Kickin It Old Skool"
and "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment"
This offbeat, high-energy actor first broke
onto the screen in Wes Craven's 1996 self-referential horror
film "Scream" and its follow-up "Scream 2."
Soon after, Kennedy added much-needed comedy in the dramas
"The Three Kings" and "The Boiler Room."
After years of obtaining his fair-share of supporting and
featured roles, Kennedy was given his own sketch comedy show.
In 2002, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment (JKX),
a television show that can best be described as a combination
of Candid Camera and Saturday Night Live, was born. "JKX"
quickly became The WB's highest ranking new show. Among the
wacky characters (played by Kennedy), one became an all-time
favorite across the board —Brad Gluckman the Malibu
rapper. The character was such a hit that Kennedy decided
to take it, naturally, to the next level. Thus, in 2003, "Malibu's
Most Wanted" was released starring Kennedy as the white
"wanna-be rapper" from Malibu. Kennedy elevated
his profile with “Son of the Mask” (2005), the
sequel to the blockbuster Jim Carrey vehicle. In 2007 he starred
in the breakdancing comedy “Kickin It Old Skool.”
