Remy grew up on the rough streets of McLean, VA where, at an early age, he instinctively learned to dodge bullets. He attended Churchill Road Elementary school, where he majored in getting beaten up and minored in fingerpaints.
From there, it was off to Cooper Middle School where Remy was often scolded for not practicing his trumpet and made a horrible CO2 car. Remy's middle school days were much like his elementary school days, but without the fingerpaints.
Remy then attended Langley High School, where he wrote for the Saxon Scope newspaper and played on the tennis team. However, unlike the rest of the country, tennis was super cool at Langley, and Remy was in no way a loser.
After high school, Remy moved to Wheeling, WV and attended Wheeling Jesuit University. During this time, he would perform at comedy clubs around the region where his jokes would be heard by hundreds and laughed at by dozens. While at WJU, Remy was a member of the Stephen J. Laut program. Unable to aim ping pong balls, Remy served as [adult beverage] pong referee until friends confiscated his whistle.
Habib was born Habib Abdul-Habib in Baghdad, Iraq in 1980.
The young Habib got his start in show business in 1983
working as an oud polisher for Munir Bashir. A year later
Habib began working as an opening act for various acts across
the region.
Habib worked at many comedy clubs around the Middle East
through the 1980's. His one-night-only showcase at the
Improv in Damascus in 1989 is widely regarded by both Arab
comedy critics as one of the best performances ever. His
legendary bit, "What's the deal with Tabouleh?" cemented his
status as one of the regions biggest celebrities and earned
him a star on the Beirut Walk of Fame. The star was
irreparably damaged by rockets in 2006.
However, not everybody was a Habib fan. His predeliction for
silly songs and his penchant for corny jokes soon found him
falling out of favor with the Iraqi mainstream. He became
known as "Baghdad's Second-Worst Comedian." Then, in
1993, he was demoted to "Baghdad's Worst Comedian" after
Baghdad's Worst Comedian did not vote for Saddam.
Habib currently resides in Baghdad with his wife and three
camels (Billy, Petey and Abdul-Rahman). He tours the world
singing bad songs and telling equally bad jokes. He appears
in a number of videos, all available right here at goremy.com

Movies
Rocky Balboa, which I saw in the theater twice. If I were to list the three best things I've done in my life, two of them would be seeing that movie. The third would be writing this paragraph.
Who I'd like to meet: Ronald Reagan. Abraham Lincoln. Superman. If I could have lunch with one person in history, it'd probably be Jesus, but it'd be real annoying if you could only get him to talk about carpentry. "Yes, Jesus. I get it. Making a chair is difficult."
Habib or Habeeb (Arabic: حَبيبْ, "beloved"). The following are some well-known people who had Habib as part of their name: Dina Habib Powell, the Assistant Secretary of State for the United States. Philip Charles Habib, an American career diplomat known for work in Vietnam and the Middle East.
