DAVE ATTELL
Résumé: Insomniac, The Gong Show
Sense of humor: Observational
Example: “Nothing against jogging, it just seems that the joggers are always the ones that find the dead bodies. You never find a dead body when you’re eating a bag of candy.”
JIM NORTON
Résumé: Opie & Anthony, Leno, Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget
Sense of humor: Self-deprecating
Example: “I’m Irish. I’m not self-hating Irish. I don’t dislike other Irish people. But I’m sorry, I don’t automatically feel connected to someone just because their grandparents also had sex in a field during a potato famine.”
NICK SWARDSON
Résumé: Reno 911!, Pretend Time, Grandma’s Boy
Sense of humor: Boozy
Example: “Hanging out with a baby is like hanging out with a really, really small, really, really hammered person all the time. I find myself talking to a baby the same way I do a buddy at the end of a Friday night … You’re just standing over him going, ‘What’s wrong, dude? Why are you crying?’”
ANTHONY JESELNIK
Résumé: Comedy Central Roasts of Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen and Roseanne Barr
Sense of humor: Relationship focused
Example: “I once dated a girl who owned a parakeet. Oh my God. That f*cking thing never shut up … but the bird was cool.”
AMY SCHUMER
Résumé: Last Coming Standing, Comedy Central Roasts of Charlie Sheen and Roseanne Barr
Sense of humor: Insulting
Example: [To Jeff Ross at a roast] “You look worse than when I started this sentence.”
