I teased him for not letting me giving out his Venmo account to make him whole but I thought it would be funny if anybody wants to send him a couple of bucks as a way to thank him for joining us so often here on the show. if you want to buy Christian a coffee, send it to Christian-finnegan-1 (if it asks for the last four digits of his phone number it’s 1814)

Finnegan is perhaps best known as one of the original panelists on VH1's Best Week Ever and as Chad, the only white roommate in the “Mad Real World” sketch on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show. Additional television appearances as himself or performing stand up have included “Conan”, “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, "Would You Rather...with Graham Norton", “Good Afternoon America” and multiple times on The Today Show and Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and on History's I Love the 1880s. He hosted TV Land's game show "Game Time". As an actor, Finnegan portrayed the supporting role of "Carl" in the film Eden Court, a ticket agent in "Knight and Day" and several guest roles including a talk show host on "The Good Wife". In October 2006, Finnegan's debut stand up comedy CD titled Two For Flinching was released by Comedy Central Records, with a follow-up national tour of college campuses from January to April 2007. “Au Contraire!” was released by Warner Bros. Records in 2009. His third special "The Fun Part" was filmed at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on April 4, 2013 and debuted on Netflix on April 15, 2014.

| 0:02.4 | Well, hello and welcome to my final Taint Week show here on Stand Up. |

| 0:24.6 | By the way, just starting to figure out how to be better at letting my mind rest and do less, |
