Or that time Amelia & Sherrick hesitated and said "Alligator" when asked to name an animal with 3 letters in it's name. This week, Amelia and Sherrick watch some of the funniest answers during game shows, and the thing you'll find most in common is that people panic when the pressure is on, and just say whatever comes to mind.

Mona invites comedian Ben Gleib to discuss his career as comic, being a host of Idiotest on Netflix and if he still loves stand up during the pandemic?

This is a special episode of Home Malone. I am re-airing an interview I did with comedian, talk show host, and ex-Presidental candidate, Ben Gleib. You might know Ben from Chelsea Lately on the E Network or his own gameshow that's streaming on Netflix called "Idiotest." Ben also has a one-hour Showtime special and has lent his voice to blockbuster animated films like Ice Age 2 and The Book of Life. In 2020, Ben ran for President of the United States of America. So I thought we could wrap up this election season by airing my interview with him and unpack all the chaos that goes with running for the highest office in the land. Enjoy.

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.

On 2014, February 7th, The Movie Jerks caught up with comedian Ben Gleib, From Comedy Central, Chelsey Lately, and Idiotest between his stand up shows at the Comic Strip at the West Edmonton Mall. 6 Years later, he's back at the Comic Strip at West Edmonton Mall Sept 27th and 28th. Tickets can be purchased at https://wem.thecomicstrip.ca/.   

I recently sat down and chatted with Comedian @bengleib at his house on the outskirts of Hollywood. Ben is the host of the popular game show, "Idiotest" which is now available on Netflix. He also has a Showtime special out called, "Neurotic Gangster." But I think most of you know him from his days on the E Network as a regular panel member on the late-night show, "Chelsea Lately." Ben has even done voice-overs in movies like Ice Age 2 and The Book of Life but most recently he wrapped up his run for President of the United States of America. In this episode, we do a deep dive into his Presidential campaign, what made him run in the first place and the aftermath of it all. Enjoy!

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.  Wanna contact the show?

Is America ready for a Comedian Commander In Chief?   Ben Gleib believes it is.   That's why he decided to put his comedy career on the backburner and throw his hat into the ring to become the next President of The United States (no joke). While the thought might seem laughable at first, many people (if not most) feel a lack of trust in our elected officials in Washington. As more and more people turn to comedians as their source of news, he asks "Why can't we do with same with our politicians?" And wherever you lean on the political spectrum, there's no denying that Ben's viewpoints are refreshing and his enthusiasm and passion for the future of America is inspiring.   To learn more about this presidential hopefull's journey and how you can get involved in the coming election (whether you choose to support Ben or any other candidate), check out Episode 235 of People Being Real!   Enjoy!!   Connect with Mark: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Connect with Ben: Instagram | Facebook | BenGleib.com   Show Notes: -Why Ben thinks it's time for a comedian to be in The White House -Why he feels he's the guy for the job. -Lessons he's learned from the campaign trail. -What he's learned about himself and the power that a single person can have. -What he's learned from the other candidates. -Ben's powerful vision for America.     Things to check out: •Presidential Campaign Site: GLEIB 2020 •Idiotest on Netflix •Podcast: Last Week On Earth with Ben Gleib

On this episode of Be Here For A While, comedian Ben Gleib is joining Rachael to talk about what it takes to make it in the entertainment industry! Ben was just named by TBS one of the "funniest comedians working today." He is host, writer, and executive producer of the Emmy nominated "Idiotest," the hit comedy brain teaser game show in it's 4th season on GSN, with 210 episodes. It's the most watched original program on the network. His hilarious hour-long standup special "Ben Gleib - Neurotic Gangster" is currently airing on Showtime.  For 7 years he was a round table regular on "Chelsea Lately" on E! with over 100 appearances! He also played himself on a memorable episode of the E! scripted series "After Lately."  He has toured sold-out arenas all over North America with both Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook, has been headlining comedy clubs around the globe since 2007, and has performed on "The Late Late Show," "Last Comic Standing," and twice on "Last Call with Carson Daly." He is constantly on tour, and is likely performing soon in a town near you. A truly unique voice in comedy, he's even been a frequent on-air contributor on CNN, "The Young Turks," and NPR, winning a Golden Mic for his work on Southern California NPR's "Patt Morrison's Comedy Congress." Recently he created, executive produced, hosted and was head writer on a spinoff special for GSN called "Political Idiotest," blending his game show with his love of politics. And he was the anchor of GSN's interstitial series "Man VS Fly." An accomplished voice over actor, 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," (the #2 animated movie of all-time internationally,) and voices Dali in "The Book of Life" starring Channing Tatum. His voices have also appeared in "Phineas and Ferb," and youtube series "The Melvin Bros."  His podcast “Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib” on the Smodcast Network debuted at #9 on iTunes Comedy, and was #1 on Stitcher for over 20 weeks. Every Wednesday, he hilariously summarizes news and politics, occasionally being joined by celebrity guests like Bryan Cranston, Meghan McCain, Bob Odenkirk, Sam Donaldson, Moby, Adam Devine, and his parents. (You can subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.) He also enjoys freestyle rapping, has a rap group called BENS, and is proudest that he is probably better than you at ping pong.  He is also aware that he has to work on his posture. He's 6'1" but looks like he's 5'9".

Chunky B & Gary Adler join Gleib to discuss a stoned ping pong mistake, the realization that Playboy Playmates are humans, why Idiotest is misspelled, the electoral college deciding Trump will be president, and if maybe in some way we need him to be, seal dog combos, starting a charter school, your first public erection, manual stimulation preferences, if reading is still a thing, and some pretty aggressive fight moves.

Ben Gleib calls into the podcast this week, fresh off his new standup special Neurotic Gangster on Showtime. We chat about his special, his show Idiotest on GSN and his podcast Last Week On Earth. Along the way, we also uncover other tidbits like awkward celebrity encounters, which social media platform needs to go and why Bob Barker is so f@*kable. Ben also gets to test drive a new game created by Lost At Home specifically for him. And the hot new Pup Boyz track drops, care of Sonic Jalopy, Elemen-Oh-Pee and X-Factor.

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.

(He also helps create all of the show's brain puzzles.) Gleib is a regular on "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, has made multiple appearances on Comedy Central's @midnight, and recently was even guest co-anchor of ABC News digital, from ABC News world headquarters in New York.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview BEN GLEIB of GSN"s The IDIOTEST. IDIOTEST, based on the highly popular app game, gives two pairs of contestants the opportunity to face off in several rounds of deceptively simple tests, whose answers actually require a keen eye, quick mind and heightened sense of logic. Every question involves a colorful and often whimsical scene that tests observation and attention to detail as much it tests general knowledge.  Contestants play the game on giant touch screens in the center of the set, trying to win money…or at least not look stupid. Ben Gleib is a standup comedian, actor, and host of the hit TV show “IDIOTEST”now in its second season on GSN. He also was a round table regular on "CHELSEA LATELY”on E!throughout its seven year run, appearing on the show over 100 times.Esquire named him one of “Six comedians who could be comedy's next big thing.” He is the voice of Marshall the Sloth in 20th Century Fox's “ICE AGE – CONTINENTAL DRIFT” which is the #2 animated movie of all-time internationally.

He worked for THE OSCARS, hosting The Academy's first ever “Oscar Roadtrip,” which was featured on ABC's “OSCARS PRE-SHOW.”

The girls are joined by comedian, self proclaimed politico and host of the GSN’s Idiotest, Ben Gleib, as he offers some insight and humor into the current political climate. He does his best Bernie / Hillary / Trump impressions and runs some IDIOTEST knowledge by our hosts- only to prove that Steph and Elizabeth are, in fact, idiots. Zen idiots, but idiots nonetheless. Also, Elizabeth quits the internet AGAIN and Steph's back on dating apps.
