Due to a desire to have his parents one day address him by the correct name, Brian started doing stand up comedy in 1992. That year he won the ?Buffalo?s Funniest New Comedian Contest?. Granted, the contest was voted on by the audience and he brought 50 people with him, but that?s not important?.the point is, he never looked back. Since then, he?s performed at HBO?s US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, on the ?Tonight Show?, NBC?s ?Late Friday?, and TBS?s ?Very Funny at the Laugh Factory?. He has had acting roles on several hit television shows such as ?FRIENDS?, ?3RD ROCK FROM the SUN?, ?THAT 70?s SHOW?, ?GHOST WHISPERER?, ?NYPD BLUE?, and ?LAS VEGAS?. He was the voice of SANFORD on the MTV animated series ?3 SOUTH?, as well as characters on ?FAMILY GUY? and ?PROUD FAMILY?. He hosted the first season of ?AMERICAN IDOL?, and knowing full well the show would never last, decided to continue to pursue his dream of breaking the record for pilots that never make the air. He recently finished acting in his first feature film ?Comedy Hell? with Eric Roberts.
