Dave Attell (born January 18, 1965) is an American stand-up comedian and the host of Comedy Central's Insomniac with Dave Attell and The Gong Show with Dave Attell.
Born in Queens, New York, to a Jewish family, he grew up in Rockville Centre, New York and now lives in New York City. Attell's initial motivation to perform stand-up comedy is attributed to his indecisiveness as to what he should do after college. In 1987 he graduated from New York University with a degree in communications. Like many other fledgling comedians, he worked menial jobs during the day and put in his time at comedy clubs at night. He worked his first gig at Governor's in Levittown and, according to Attell, "totally bombed".[citation needed] After years of honing his act, he found himself being described as a "comedian's comedian".[citation needed] When working a club, the other comedians, such as Mike Royce (a producer/writer on Everybody Loves Raymond), David Juskow (a performer on TV Funhouse), Kevin Brennan (from Saturday Night Live and HBO's One Night Stand) and Jon Stewart, would come in to watch his act. While the audience didn't always follow his up-front delivery, fellow comedians were refreshed by his originality.[citation needed]
Joseph James "Joe" Rogan (born August 11, 1967) is an American martial artist, stand-up comedian, actor, writer and color commentator. He is best known for playing Joe Garrelli on the NBC sitcom NewsRadio, commentating for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, hosting the NBC reality show Fear Factor and The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
Rogan was born in Newark, New Jersey. His paternal grandfather was Irish and the remainder of his ancestry is Italian.
In 1981, at age fourteen, he became a practitioner of Kenpo Karate before transitioning to Taekwondo. He eventually gained a 2nd dan black belt. A four-time state champion in Massachusetts, in 1987 he was the USA Taekwondo U.S. Open Champion. In 1996, he began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado, eventually earning his brown belt. In addition, he holds a brown belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Bravo.
He also practiced and competed in kickboxing.
In 1994, he co-starred on the Fox comedy Hardball as Frank Valente, the young, ego-centric star player on a fictional professional baseball team. From 1995 to 1999, he co-starred on the comedy NewsRadio. He portrayed Joe Garrelli, the electrician at WNYX, a news radio station in New York City. In 2002, he appeared on the episode "A Beautiful Mind" of Just Shoot Me as Chris, Maya Gallo's boyfriend. In 2011, Rogan played his first major character in a movie in the Kevin James movie Zookeeper. He is slated to play himself in an upcoming action-comedy starring Kevin James called Here Comes the Boom, set to be released in the summer of 2012.
Richard Ira "Rich" Vos (born June 30, 1957) is an American comedian. Originally from Plainfield, New Jersey, Vos has been a working stand-up for decades. Friend and fellow comic Colin Quinn jokingly described Vos in his early days as a "Jersey Hack".
On the 2001 English Channel 5 show The People of New York vs Jerry Sadowitz, Vos was the bouncer, often performing his own skits. In 2004, Vos released his first DVD. Entitled Vos, the self-produced stand-up comedy special consisted of an unedited 55 minute performance from a single camera angle, recorded off the monitor at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, New Jersey, with a plain black cover with the word "Vos" printed in sans-serif font on it. He also released a CD entitled "I'm Killing Here". He has the distinction of being the first white comedian to perform on Def Comedy Jam. Vos placed 3rd on the first season of NBC's Last Comic Standing and starred in the show's first and third seasons.
In September 2005, Vos married comedian Bonnie McFarlane, who was seen on season 2 of Last Comic Standing. Together they have a daughter, Rayna Lynn Vos, born on July 31, 2007. He is also a frequent guest on the Opie and Anthony radio program on XM Satellite Radio, often substituting for Jim Norton. He has also hosted Saturday night broadcasts with McFarlane.
Sherrod Small (born August 15, 1973) is an American stand-up comedian and television personality.
Small was born and raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York by his mother and two sisters. He is the cousin of comedians Chris Rock and Tony Rock.
He often performs at the Comedy Cellar and Comic Strip Live in Manhattan, frequently as the MC. Sherrod is a regular on VH1's Best Week Ever as well as Fox News's late-night satire program Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. He has appeared on Tough Crowd, Premium Blend, and The Chris Rock Show. He can also be seen with John Mayer on the parody cover of Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain". He can also be seen on the G4's International Sexy Ladies.
In 2009, Small was a guest commentator on both VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s" and "100 Most Shocking Music Moments."
Arthur Steven "Artie" Lange, Jr. (born October 11, 1967) is an American actor, comedian and radio personality best known for his tenures with the The Howard Stern Show and the comedy sketch series MADtv.
Lange performed his first stand-up comedy routine at 19 years of age. He took up work as a longshoreman to help support his family, following the death of his quadriplegic father. In 1995, Lange starred in the first season of MADtv before leaving halfway through the second due to cocaine abuse and his subsequent arrest. After a period of rehabilitation, Lange featured in Dirty Work with Norm MacDonald, who brought Lange into the second season of his sitcom, The Norm Show. In 2001, Lange replaced Jackie Martling on The Howard Stern Show and stayed until late 2009, before a suicide attempt in early 2010 led to an eight-month stay in a psychiatric ward. Lange has released recordings of comedy performances – It's the Whiskey Talkin' (2004) and Jack and Coke (2009). He co-wrote, produced and starred in his film Artie Lange's Beer League in 2006, and co-wrote, with Anthony Bozza, the book Too Fat to Fish in 2008, which entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one. In 2011, Lange returned to radio with Nick DiPaolo to co-host The Nick and Artie show.

Keep me under your bones
Walk with me when you roam
Isn't it crazy how we learn to return?
Isn't it crazy how we run to trust it?
So don't leave me here holding daffodils
It all seems clear when I'm lying still
Though you never will
Keep me under your style
Walk with me down the aisle
Isn't it crazy how we learn to return?
Isn't it crazy how we run to trust it?
So don't leave me here holding daffodils
It all seems clear when I'm lying still
Though you never will, daffodil
I will not fall
I will not fall, I will not
So don't leave me here holding daffodils
It all seems clear when I'm lying still
See her looking down at us
She's so much higher I cannot reach
Her beauty dazzles me with it's power
I try to pull at something deeper inside
But my hands reach out into cold emptiness
I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange
I'm falling down into a world so strange
She smells of daffodils
Beneath the surface a rotten stench
It spreads out all over her being
Beneath that ivory skin a thousand worms
Are feasting on all that is dead
The world outside seems so strange, I'm safe here
On my own I can face my fear
This body's bruised in many ways
Cause your eyes burnt holes in it's structure
I want to break free from this prison
I want to change these conditions, tear off the label
That you stitched so tightly to my skin
I'm a person
Why won't you let me be a person
