JAY MOHR is a quadruple threat. Film, television, radio and stand-up are all among the treasures in the bag of tricks he’s been working on throughout the career he began as a teenager.
He has worked with superstars, matching wits and chops with Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, Al Pacino in Simone, Eddie Murphy in Pluto Nash and Bill Murray in Speaking of Sex.
He starred as Peter Dragon in the critically acclaimed Fox series “Action”, and co-created, executive produced and hosted two seasons of NBC’s Emmy-nominated “Last Comic Standing.”
He is the best-selling author of Gasping for Airtime, the darkly funny memoir of his two years on “Saturday Night Live.”
He Last guest hosts Premiere Radio’s “Jim Rome Show,” the number one syndicated sports radio program in the country and is a most-requested guest on L.A.’s number one morning show, KROQ’s “Kevin & Bean.”
He sells out theaters, clubs and colleges all over the country, earning standing ovations for his keen observations on the world and the people who live in it.
The multi-talented Mohr had his breakthrough film role as rival agent to Cruise in the blockbuster hit Jerry Maguire, and followed up in a touching good-guy turn opposite Jennifer Aniston in Picture Perfect. He starred in Doug Liman’s critically adored Go and co-starred in Pay It Forward with Kevin Spacey. His other film credits include Playing By Heart, Suicide Kings and Seeing Other People.
Last summer peaked with publication of Gasping for Airtime (Hyperion). Mohr first wowed “SNL” audiences with his dead-on impressions of Christopher Walken, Ricki Lake, Dick Vitale and Sean Penn, and Gasping is a brutally honest look at both the hilarity and the flipside of the fun.
From “SNL” Mohr made his move on Hollywood. His work as host of Fox’s “NFL This Morning” and narrator of “Beyond the Glory” led to “Mohr Sports”, a weekly comedy/music/sports talk hour he produced and hosted for ESPN. He is now at work on a 2005 schedule of comedy tours, television guest spots and feature films.
