Summary

BEN GLEIB is a comedian, writer, producer, and host who Esquire Magazine called one of "Six Comedians Who Could Be Comedy's Next Big Thing." The other 5 were Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Demetri Martin, and Flight of the Conchords. It came true for each of them, and it now seems to be Gleib's time, as he is now in his third season as the host and executive producer of “Idiotest," the Emmy nominated comedy game show on GSN, which is their most watched original show. (For Gleib, EP is not just a title. He helps create all of the show's brain puzzles.) Some his more prominent work before “Idiotest,” were as a regular guest and star of over 100 episodes of Chelsea Lately and as a regular on "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, and multiple appearances on Comedy Central's @midnight. A truly unique voice in comedy, Gleib has been a regular on-air contributor to CNN and NPR (where he won a Golden Mic,) is an accomplished voice over actor (The Book of Life, Ice Age: Continental Drift - the second highest grossing animated movie of all-time) and this year co-anchored a week of ABC News digital from their world news headquarters in New York. An unusual gig for a comedian, another example of why he is one of the most multi-talented comics working today. Gleib has been headlining comedy clubs around the globe since 2007 and has toured arenas with Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook. His podcast 'Last Week On Earth,' debuted on iTunes Comedy at #9, was #1 on Stitcher for 20 straight weeks, and his online videos have received over 20 million views. His first hour special, BEN GLEIB: NEUROTIC GANGSTER, premieres on Showtime on June 3 at 10pm.
