Known For: "Jay and Silent Bob," "Clerks" & "Dogma"

It's apparent that Jay Mewes, the vocal half of "Jay and Silent Bob," is a toned-down version of his iconic loudmouth character — a fast-talking, foul-mouthed, over-sexed but ultimately harmless guy. Outrageously inappropriate and oddly loveable, Mewes gets down and dirty with his audiences, leaving no raunchy stories untold.

Career Highlights: Roles in anything Kevin Smith has written ("Mallrats," "Chasing Amy," "Clerks II," "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "Zack and Miri Make a Porno"); appearances in "Degrassi," "Comic Book Men" and "@midnight;" cohost of "Jay & Silent Bob Get Old" podcast

Known For: "MADtv" & "TigerBelly" Podcast

Bobby Lee is an actor, comedian, ping pong aficionado, and glue-thumb artist. Shape-wise he is a genetic cross between a scallop and a panda, making him one of the softest and cutest hybrids in existence- a complete juxtaposition to his irreverent brand of comedy where unforgivable things are said no apologies are made. He is Toki Fong, Connie Chung, Kim Jong, and sometimes just a strange man who likes to dance around in panties drinking milkshakes.

Career Highlights: Roles in "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," "Pineapple Express," "The Dictator," "Splitting Up Together," and "Love;" and appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Chelsea Lately," "The League," "Laugh Factory," "This Is Not Happening," and "Hot Ones"

Emmy nominated writer/comedian, Morgan Murphy was born in Portland, OR and moved around frequently before settling down in Los Angeles. At 18, Morgan started doing stand-up at coffee houses, youth hostels, and laundromats. She landed a writing job on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers“, which led her to become a writer on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where she has performed twice as a stand-up.
