It's all a blur. But, I do remember growing up in New Hampshire, which I understand has recently become a state. Maybe now it will snow less there. I remember Mr. Sanderson throwing me out of his english class at Manchester Central High School and into a "Special Ed Class" for being a wise ass. I guess I taught him a lesson about how much money you can make being a wise ass (if he ever finds out what I do for a living or even remembers how he scarred me for life). Then there are some wonderful memories from my years at Boston University where I graduated with a degree in Poli-Sci, and a minor in International Relations. Thanks to those years I now know how "nations inter-relate" and how alcohol makes me feel really good about myself. After that I have a couple of memories of me as an officer in the U.S. Navy. A mongoose-cobra fight in Pakistan, a bathhouse in Thailand, climbing the outside of a five story building in the United Arab Emirates to meet some British Stewardess. That one's really blurry. After that, acting and comedy. And here we are. Now, I have a new show called "My Boys" coming out this Nov. 28 on TBS.

Here's a clip of my favorite MY BOYS episode "Superstar Treatment". You can watch MY BOYS episodes online at TBS.com or catch all-new MY BOYS episodes Thursdays 9:30/8:30c on TBS.
This will be my 9th time working Junior's and it's a great club!
I think there is a big pie-eating contest (or tractor pull ...or something) down at the county fair or something when we're not shouting at drunks during our shows!
hey Jamie thanks for the ADD here too! :) Sorry I missed your show last night :( I really wanted to go and had reservations and all... BUT apparently a little bit of water and rain scares most people away! And my friends all backed down on going on me! And it is probably NEVER a good idea to go to a Comedy Club ALONE! lol... Especially if you are one of those who don't really want to get picked on! lol :) But thanks anyway and let us know when you are coming back to either Governor's or the Brokerage again!
I asked a very hot young lady that is way out of my league to go see your show with me...I want you to be impressed... Of course she hasn't gotten back to me yet, so I may have to show up with my julio friend Rich.
Lol...You poor bastard! You knew Mike wasn't gonna get the girl over Brando! I know you knew! He is a son of a bitch! Lol. Somehow we have to get the writers to show Mike a litte respect!
I ♥ed going to Pepperbelly's when I lived in the Bay Area. Wish I could see ya live & in action... Your ..My Boys.. episode rocked the other night! .. Knock 'em dead in Fairfield ;) .. ♥ always, E =D
Last nights show was probably my favorite one so far. . . so so FUNNY!!! Can't wait to see you again in Aug. Your last show in Vernon Hills was great. Loved how you kept turning around to the back stage curtain. . CRACKED ME UP!
