JAY MOHR is the quintessential Hollywood hyphenate, known for his performances in film, television, radio and as a stand-up comic.
The Verona, New Jersey native, who dreamed of being a comedian as a teenager, became a regular on the long running hit series "Saturday Night Live," best known for his impressions of Christopher Walken, Sean Penn, Rikki Lake and Dick Vitale. It has made him a fixture in television. His "Mohr Sports," a weekly comedy/music/sports talk hour show, which began airing on ESPN in April, followed Mohr’s year as host of Fox’ "NFL This Morning" and narrator of "Beyond The Glory."
His television and feature credits have grown simultaneously. Although his feature debut was For Better or For Worse, it was his next role as Bob Sugar, rival agent to Tom Cruise in the blockbuster Jerry Maguire that really grabbed Hollywood’s attention. He can next be seen opposite Eddie Murphy in The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Speaking of Sex, co-starring Bill Murray.
Mohr has also appeared in the romantic comedy Picture Perfect with Jennifer Aniston, Pay It Forward opposite Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt and in Doug Liman’s critically acclaimed Go. His film credits also include: Cherry Falls, 200 Cigarettes, Playing By Heart, Suicide Kings, Small Soldiers and Paulie (as the voice of Benny).
In television, he starred as Peter Dragon in the critically acclaimed Fox series "Action." Aside from numerous Saturday Night Live appearances, some of which he also wrote, his other television credits include: ABC’s "Camp Wilder," and "The Jeff Foxworthy Show;" HBO’s "From the Earth to the Moon," Disney’s "The Barefoot Executive" and Fox’s "Black River" and "Night Visions."
He often guest hosts the nation’s number one syndicated sports radio program, Premiere Radio’s "Jim Rome Show." He is also a regular guest on New York’s nationally syndicated "Opie & Anthony Show" and L.A.’s number one morning show, KROQ’s "Kevin & Bean."
