POPULARITY
Ben Gleib was named by TBS one of the "funniest comedians working today." He’s host, head writer, and executive producer of the Emmy nominated "Idiotest" on NETFLIX. The hit comedy brain teaser game show originally had four seasons & 210 episodes on Game Show Network, and was their most watched original. For 7 years he was one of the stars of “Chelsea Lately" on E! with over 100 appearances on the round table! He currently can be seen in the “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” movie, along with Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Chris Hemsworth, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Recently he pranked David Beckham on “The Late Late Show with James Corden“ which got 27 million views. His hilarious hour-long standup special “Ben Gleib - Neurotic Gangster” which premiered on SHOWTIME is currently on AMAZON PRIME. Gleib is also the first comedian to ever live stream a full headline set on Facebook Live, doing it in 8 straight cities on his 2016 tour, 100% improvised, getting almost 4 million views. His act is full of unique material, but he's also one of the best at crowd work, making it all up on the spot. He hosted with Olivia Munn the “Telethon for America”. Gleib also created it, executive produced, and was head writer. It featured celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Chelsea Handler, Jane Fonda, Constance Wu, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba, Judd Apatow, Hasan Minhaj, Adam Devine, Aisha Tyler, Pete Davidson, Ray Romano, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and over 80 others. It was the first telethon ever with the goal of raising zero dollars. Reinventing the telethon for the digital age, instead the non-partisan telethon took pledges to vote in 2018 midterms, aiming to create historic turnout, which was achieved! Trying to offer an out-of-the-box option for the country, and seeing comedians win elections around the globe, he just concluded a run for President of the United States in the 2020 election, finishing after almost 8 months in the race, as the 15th highest fundraising active Democratic campaign. Despite this, he wasn’t able to qualify for the debates so the campaign ended. During the run he spoke at events alongside the front-runner candidates, campaigning in 13 states and territories including multiple trips to Iowa and New Hampshire, Puerto Rico on the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, was arrested protesting corruption at the capitol building in DC, joined immigration protests, LGBT parades, and stood proudly with the teachers on the picket line in Chicago. His campaign was covered by Larry King, the Des Moines Register, and countless others. Videos and information can be seen at Gleib2020.com As an actor he just guest starred on “American Princess” an hour dramedy from Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black, GLOW.) He was a regular on "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, with over 25 appearances, and you may have seen one of his appearances on "@Midnight with Chris Hardwick" on Comedy Central, or as a correspondent on ”The Arsenio Hall Show”. He has toured sold-out arenas all over North America with both Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook, and has been headlining comedy clubs around the world since 2007. An accomplished voice over actor as well, Gleib is one of the stars of Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie," is the voice of Marshall the Sloth in "Ice Age: Continental Drift," and voices Dali in "The Book of Life" starring Channing Tatum. Esquire once called him one of “Six comedians who could be comedy’s next big thing.” The other five were Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Demetri Martin, and Flight of the Conchords.
This week Jason talks to Presidential candidate Ben Gleib. Things start off a little rocky between the two when Jason knows more about Ben's former game show, Idiotest, than Ben does. Then Jason tries to get to the real reason Ben wants to eliminate pork from bills in Congress, his recent arrest, why he really went to speech therapy, almost marrying Natalie Portman and much, much more.
