John Roy
Back in 2003, John Roy became the first winner of the newly revived Star Search comedy competition and pocketed a cool $100,000, earned a CBS development deal, got a guest-starring role on a CBS program. But John never let all that success go to his head, instead he continued doing what he loves, performing standup comedy in dirty night clubs all over the country. That's not to say he's abandoned TV altogether. Roy is also a veteran of The Late, Late Show, Hollywood Squares, Comedy Central Presents, Last Comic Standing and HBO. Follow John on facebook. Henry Phillips
Singer/songwriter and gifted guitar player Henry Phillips may be lonely and a self-professed loser, but he's also one of the most clever comedians on the planet. His songs often focus on the darker, more twisted side of life, but we still find his soft-spoken, self-deprecating personality quite adorable. Though his demeanor may lead you to believe otherwise, he's actually a fun guy to be around, especially if you enjoy gambling, drinking or gambling while drinking. In other news, Henry recently wrote and starred in the movie Punching the Clown, which can now be added to your queue on Netflix (click here to add) or purchased at Amazon.com. Follow Henry on twitter. You can also check out his new music video "He's Talkin' Again" and his new web series "Henry's Kitchen." Cheech and Chong
Individually, Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong weren’t on the path to superstardom. In fact, when they met, Cheech was driving a truck and laying carpet while Chong was running the country’s first topless improv club. It was at that club where they teamed up for the first time and discovered that together, there was a comedic magic. With their routines playing off of the hippie, free love and drug culture of the era, Cheech and Chong became a phenomenon in the 70’s and through most of the 80’s, releasing a number of hit comedy albums and starring in some classic films such as Up In Smoke and Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie. After years of working together, the duo went on to pursue successful solo careers. But this was not the end of Cheech and Chong, they've recently joined forces to bring many of their most popular bits to the big screen in animated for in the new movie Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie.
