 Jay Mohr is a quadruple threat. Film,
television, radio and stand-up are all among the treasures in the bag of tricks
he's been working on throughout the 15-year career he began as a teenager.
He has worked with superstars, matching wits and chops with Tom Cruise in "Jerry
Maguire," Al Pacino in "Simone," Eddie Murphy in "Pluto Nash" and Bill Murray in
"Speaking of Sex."
Jay Mohr starred as Peter Dragon in the critically acclaimed Fox series Action,
and last year co-created, executive produced and hosted NBC's summer smash
reality show Last Comic Standing.
He often guest hosts Premiere Radio's "Jim Rome Show," the number one syndicated
sports radio program in the country and is a most-requested guest on L.A.'s
number one morning show, KROQ's "Kevin & Bean."
Jay Mohr sells out theaters, clubs and colleges all over the country, earning
standing ovations for his keen observations on the world and the people who live
in it.
The multi-talented Jay Mohr had his breakthrough film role as rival agent to
Cruise in the blockbuster hit "Jerry Maguire," and followed up in a touching
good-guy turn opposite Jennifer Aniston in "Picture Perfect." He starred in Doug
Liman's critically adored "Go" and co-starred in "Pay It Forward" with Kevin
Spacey. His other film credits include "Playing By Heart," "Suicide Kings,"
"Seeing Other People" and the upcoming "King's Ransom."
Summer 2004 peaks with publication of his book Gasping for Airtime
(Hyperion), a darkly funny memoir of his two years in the trenches as a writer
and featured performer on Saturday Night Live. Jay Mohr first wowed SNL
audiences with his dead-on impressions of Christopher Walken, Ricki Lake, Dick
Vitale and Sean Penn. Gasping is a brutally honest look at both the
hilarity and the flipside of the fun.
From SNL Jay Mohr made his move on Hollywood. His work as host of Fox's NFL This
Morning and narrator of Beyond the Glory led to Mohr Sports, a weekly
comedy/music/sports talk hour he produced and hosted for ESPN. Jay Mohr is now
at work on Last Comic Standing 3, coming back this summer on NBC.
