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.

| 0:01.8 | Hi there. |
| 0:02.9 | I am here, and I have brought two of my very good friends with me for today's episode |
| 0:08.9 | of Stand Up. |
| 0:09.6 | Sorry, I did not get this posted yesterday on Friday. |
| 0:12.3 | It's Saturday morning, but on Friday at about 10 a.m. |
| 0:15.7 | I went live on several platforms, now including Substack. |
| 0:19.5 | I think six platforms is where I go live on. |
| 0:22.5 | And it was a great audience that joined live to watch the conversation I had with the great |
