His quick wit, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox's Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries' talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the US. This past summer, Aries guest starred in CNN's “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023, alongside Amanda Seales, Da'Vinchi, Debbie Allen, Deon Cole, Desus & Mero, Gabrielle Union, Jimmie Walker, Judge Greg Mathis, Kevin Frazier, Loni Love, Lynn Whitfield, Mo'Nique, Naturi Naughton, Omari Hardwick, Ray J, Ruben Studdard, Sherri Shepherd, Tatyana Ali, Tiffany Pollard, Tisha Campbell, Vivica A. Fox and many more. Trailer: https://tinyurl.com/AriesCNNSeeItLoudAs a principal cast member on Fox's hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries's talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.Some of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson, Walter (Crackheads), Reggie (Erascist), Dollar Bill Montgomery, Shaquille O'Neal, The Klumps, Michael Jackson, Sisqo, Evander Holyfield, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown, Al Pacino, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin' American” was Mad TV's most popular bit, keeping fans tuned in and boosting Mad's ratings impressively on Saturday night.Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar's The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s brother in Columbia's blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire.Aries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood, it's safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.   https://www.ariesspears.com

Ask Me Anything and takeaways of the day featuring Andy, Randy, Beau, and Abe.

Most people probably don't realize Alex Borstein is the same actress who broke out on ‘MADtv,' has been voicing Lois Griffin on ‘Family Guy' for 25 years, and won two Emmys for her role as Susie Myerson on ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.' And yet, while she may still not be a household name, she has slowly but surely put together a more accomplished and steady career than she ever could have imagined. In this episode, the comedian talks about returning to her stand-up roots for her latest one-woman show, ‘Alex Borstein Is Thirsty,' and looks back on the twists and turns of her unlikely Hollywood journey. That includes her misgivings about how her iconic character Ms. Swan went from a loving impression of her grandmother to an unfortunate racist caricature and how she landed the lucrative ‘Family Guy' gig over some much bigger names. Borstein also gets into her beloved HBO cult classic series ‘Getting On' and why she decided to deliver an anti-fascist call to arms when she accepted her second Emmy Award for ‘Maisel.' And finally, a deeply embarrassing story about the time she appeared opposite Halle Berry in ‘Catwoman.'

Read transcriptGet ready for some black-and-white mayhem that's more chaotic than trying to untangle Christmas lights while wearing oven mitts! This week on Play Comics, we're diving headfirst into the wonderfully ridiculous world of Spy vs Spy for the original Xbox—the 2005 game that took MAD Magazine's iconic feuding spies and somehow convinced them to blow each other up in glorious 3D. This delightfully deranged espionage extravaganza comes courtesy of the twisted minds at Vicious Cycle Software, who apparently looked at the classic NES version and thought, “You know what this needs? More explosions and better graphics!” Whether you're here for the nostalgic callback to those legendary MAD TV shorts or you just enjoy watching cartoon spies meet their doom in increasingly creative ways, this episode promises to deliver more backstabbing action than a corporate boardroom during budget season. Joining us for this masterclass in mutual assured destruction are two absolute legends from the podcasting world: Anthony Sytko and Doc Issues, the brilliant minds behind Capes on the Couch. When they're not busy psychoanalyzing superheroes and providing much-needed therapy to fictional characters who definitely have trust issues, these two bring their expertise in comic psychology to help us understand why watching two spies repeatedly murder each other is somehow deeply satisfying. So dust off that original Xbox controller, practice your best evil laugh, and prepare for an episode that's guaranteed to be more explosive than a briefcase full of dynamite left by your nemesis. We'll explore whether this modern take on the classic formula captured the essence of those timeless comic strips, or if it just left us feeling like we'd been caught in one of the White Spy's elaborate traps. Learn such things as: Does choosing Black Spy make you morally superior? How many ways can a cartoon spy die before it stops being funny? Why do we find such joy in elaborate revenge schemes involving household appliances? And so much more! You can find Anthony and Doc @CapesOnTheCouch on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and of course the Capes on the Couch website.
