Patton Oswalt has been headlining clubs all over the US since 1996. In 1999, Variety chose him as one of ten "Comedians to Watch," and in 2002 he was Entertainment Weekly's "It" Comedian. Oswalt has filmed stand-up specials for HBO, as well as a recent hour long special for Comedy Central titled Patton Oswalt: No Reason to Complain. Looking for a way to bring cutting edge comedy to a different audience, Oswalt put together the Comedians of Comedy Tour in 2004 with several other comics, using indie rock venues rather than traditional Comedy Clubs. The tour was documented in Showtime's 2005 film of the same name, which was followed by a six-episode series on Comedy Central, in which Patton starred and executive produced.

Craig Ferguson entered the world of late night comedy following a diverse and eclectic career that encompasses film, television and the stage. Since taking the helm of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on January 3, 2005, the show has set all-time viewer records and achieved the highest ratings since the shows inception in 1995. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Ferguson got his start in the entertainment industry as a drummer for some of the worst punk bands in the U.K., a profession he held for several years. Following his musical stint, he began bartending in a local pub in Glasgow where he was introduced to Michael Boyd, the artistic director of The Tron Theatre in Glasgow, who persuaded Ferguson to give acting a go. After several low paying acting gigs, Ferguson discovered he had a knack for comedy and was soon the star of his own BBC television show, The Ferguson Theory. In April 2006, Ferguson debuted his first novel entitled Between The Bridge and The River, which became a critically acclaimed bestseller. Since coming into his own on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and winning his first Emmy nomination in 2006, Craig achieved a personal milestone in February 2008 when he was sworn in as a US Citizen.
