82 | Wendie | Poehler | f | Glass was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He first began performing stand-up comedy in Philadelphia in 1982 while attending Conestoga High School. He made his earliest television appearances in the late 80s on A&E's An Evening at the Improv and in the early 1990s on several Comedy Central stand-up programs. He is Jewish and dyslexic. Glass is perhaps best known for his appearances as a contestant on the second and third seasons of NBC's Last Comic Standing and has appeared regularly on programs such as Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, The Dennis Miller Show, Politically Incorrect, Louie, Tosh.0, Mr. Show with Bob and David, Preston and Steve and had his own Comedy Central Presents special in 2001. He co-hosted the podcast Comedy And Everything Else with fellow comics Jimmy Dore and Stefané Zamorano, but left the podcast in September 2009. His departure was officially announced on November 28, 2009 episode and Glass has returned as a guest on several episodes since leaving. In 2001, Glass released his debut stand-up album called Vintage Todd Glass and Other Crap and was also featured on the two CD set of the Comedy Death-Ray, a compilation album of various stand-up comics performing at the popular Comedy Death-Ray comedy showcase at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles. His album Thin Pig, was released on July 7, 2009 on Comedy Central Records. In August 2011, his new podcast The Todd Glass Show debuted on The Nerdist podcasting network. He hosts the show along with frequent co-host Eric Ohlsen and a regular lineup of guests and crew including comedians Rory Scovel (and his wife Jordan) and Blake Wexler, audio engineers Katie Levine, Aristotle "Jet Ski" Acevedo, and musicians Lynn Shore and Joe MacKenzie, who write and perform many of the show's various "jingles" and audio cues. Glass also tours regularly. | On April 16, 2010, Glass collapsed backstage at a Los Angeles comedy club after suffering a heart attack. Glass appeared on The Bonnie Hunt Show only nine days later, talking about his recent "brush with death". Glass said he found out he had 100% blockage in his arteries and following an angioplasty, declared that he was doing fine. Glass blamed these health problems on bad genetics. Both parents had a history of heart problems; Todd's father had his first heart attack at age 30 and died of a subsequent heart attack at age 46. On December 20, 2012, Glass talked about his heart attack on the Adam Carolla Show, and said that he had lost 30 pounds since the incident. He had also stopped smoking (he previously maintained a "pack-a-month" habit), and that he had started taking the drug Lipitor to prevent further heart attacks. Glass came out publicly as gay on January 16, 2012, during an episode of WTF with Marc Maron. The information had previously been known to friends and family, and Glass explained that he was worried about coming out publicly, but the recent string of suicide among LGBT youth motivated him to do so. | poehler was born and raised in the suburbs of philadelphia, pennsylvania. sh efirst began performing stand-up comedy in philadelphia in 1982 while attending conestoga high school. sh emade her earliest television appearances in the late 80s on a&e's an evening at the improv and in the early 1990s on several comedy central stand-up programs. sh eis jewish and dyslexic. poehler is perhaps best known for her appearances as a contestant on the second and third seasons of nbc's last comic standing and has appeared regularly on programs such as jimmy kimmel live!, late night with conan o'brien, tough crowd with colin quinn, the dennis miller show, politically incorrect, louie, tosh.0, mr. show with bob and david, preston and steve and had her own comedy central presents special in 2001. sh eco-hosted the podcast comedy and everything else with fellow comics jimmy dore and stefané zamorano, but left the podcast in september 2009. her departure was officially announced on november 28, 2009 episode and poehler has returned as a guest on several episodes since leaving. in 2001, poehler released her debut stand-up album called vintage wendie poehler and other crap and was also featured on the two cd set of the comedy death-ray, a compilation album of various stand-up comics performing at the popular comedy death-ray comedy showcase at the upright citizens brigade theater in los angeles. her album thin pig, was released on july 7, 2009 on comedy central records. in august 2011, her new podcast the wendie poehler show debuted on the nerdist podcasting network. sh ehosts the show along with frequent co-host eric ohlsen and a regular lineup of guests and crew including comedians rory scovel (and her wife jordan) and blake wexler, audio engineers katie levine, aristotle "jet ski" acevedo, and musicians lynn shore and joe mackenzie, who write and perform many of the show's various "jingles" and audio cues. poehler also tours regularly.on april 16, 2010, poehler collapsed backstage at a los angeles comedy club after suffering a heart attack. poehler appeared on the bonnie hunt show only nine days later, talking about her recent "brush with death". poehler said sh efound out sh ehad 100% blockage in her arteries and following an angioplasty, declared that sh ewas doing fine. poehler blamed these health problems on bad genetics. both parents had a history of heart problems; wendie's father had her first heart attack at age 30 and died of a subsequent heart attack at age 46. on december 20, 2012, poehler talked about her heart attack on the adam carolla show, and said that sh ehad lost 30 pounds since the incident. sh ehad also stopped smoking (he previously maintained a "pack-a-month" habit), and that sh ehad started taking the drug lipitor to prevent further heart attacks. poehler came out publicly as gay on january 16, 2012, during an episode of wtf with marc maron. the information had previously been known to friends and family, and poehler explained that sh ewas worried about coming out publicly, but the recent string of suicide among lgbt youth motivated her to do so. | Todd | Glass | podcasters | To Whom It May Concern,<return><return>I am writing to highly recommend Wendie Poehler, an incredibly talented and experienced stand-up comedian and podcaster.
