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.”
