We are excited to announce that Mark Metcalf has joined the Comic Wonder team as our Head of Humor. In his new role, Mark is touring the country scouting for joke-telling talent. This morning he was interviewed on the Bob & Tom Show with our 2007 winner, Captainhilariousness (aka Chris Cashman). Listen to the interview at www.bobandtom.com.

Although trained as a Shakespearian actor, Mark became an American icon with his role as the sadistic ROTC cadet, Doug Neidermeyer, in the college classic National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978). He later went on to reprise this role in the Twisted Sister music videos “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock”. The infamous role of Neidermeyer was just the beginning for Mark, who now has 27 films to his credit. He has directed such films as When It Comes Early, Bikini Bar, You’ve Still Got Most of Your Hair, and The Wolf Finally Came. Mark also had recurring roles on two hit television shows. He was “The Maestro” on Seinfeld (1990) and “The Master” on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997).

When Mark is not out in search of Comic Wonder’s next big talent, you can meet & chat him up at his establishment; he is co-owner of Libby Montana Bar & Grill in Mequon, Wisconsin.
