Harland Williams
An unpredictable comic whose talents as an artist and writer of children’s books frequently goes unnoticed in favor of such antics as appearing on the Late Show With David Letterman in peanut butter-covered boots, Harland Williams set the tone for his cinematic career as a urine-chugging state trooper in the Farrelly brothers’ sophomoric smash Dumb and Dumber (1994).
After his memorable debut in Dumb and Dumber, Williams played a number of memorably comedic roles in such popular comedies as Half-Baked (1998) and There’s Something About Mary (1998). The new millennium also proved to be a busy year for Williams in both his career as a standup: serving as host of Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and performing specials for HBO and Comedy Central.

Todd Glass
His many television appearances include performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night With Conan O’Brien, Showbiz Show with David Spade, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and Politically Incorrect. Todd has also made guest appearances on HBO’s Mr. Show and has become a veritable fixture on Comedy Central, headlining his own half-hour standup special Comedy Central Presents: Todd Glass and appearing on The Sarah Silverman Show.

Nick Thune
Comedian/actor/writer/bird owner, is from Seattle, Washington. Nick has been on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno two times. On both occasions, he won. Comedy Central presented a half hour of Nick’s “world class” stand up comedy. It was a success for everyone involved, including the audience.
Comedy Central also paid Nick to make iThunes, a series of short films for the world wide web. In his free time, Nick grows tomatoes and tours the country, touching hearts, one joke at a time.
