Jay Mohr

Comedian, actor, and best-selling author Jay Mohr has been performing stand-up comedy since he was sixteen years old. With a career that has spanned over three decades, Mohr has become an artist that is very difficult to define. Never one to rest on his accomplishments, Mohr has always pushed himself to be more than just a comic. After landing his dream job on "Saturday Night Live," it seemed as though Mohr had reached the peak of comedic success. Only three years later, he was cast opposite Tom Cruise in "Jerry Maguire" and in the same year co-starred with Jennifer Aniston in "Picture Perfect." This introduced the world not only to "comedian Jay" but also to "actor Jay." Mohr has skillfully balanced both acting and stand-up comedy throughout his career.

In addition to his performances, Mohr has written the best-selling book "Gasping for Airtime" about his time on SNL and his experiences with panic attacks during his tenure, making it an essential read for his fans as well as those dealing with social anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. His second book, "No Wonder My Parents Drank," humorously details the pros and cons of parenthood and was optioned by ABC for sitcom development. Furthermore, Mohr hosts the nationally syndicated daily radio show "Jay Mohr Sports."

After starring in 25 films and his own groundbreaking series, "Action," produced by Joel Silver and the late Ted Demme, Mohr starred in the CBS scripted comedy "Gary Unmarried," which received critical acclaim. He has guest-starred in over 50 different television drama and comedy series episodes. His dramatic role on an episode of Dick Wolf's "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" as a Charlie Sheen type character was particularly well received.

Throughout his diverse career, Mohr has continued to perform stand-up, a passion that remains rooted deep within him. Anyone who has seen his performances will attest to his unique approach—no show is the same and his act never targets the audience. These are the principles Mohr believes make for exceptional live comedy. As an acknowledgment of his skills, Comedy Central named him one of the 100 greatest stand-up comics of all time. Mohr's approach to comedy and acting alike demonstrates his belief in constant evolution and interaction with his audience, creating unforgettable experiences in every performance.
