Dr. Jeffrey L. Gurian

People often refer to Jeffrey Gurian as a “Renaissance Man”, because he’s involved in so many things. He’s a comedy writer, performer, director, author, producer, radio personality and doctor, and not always in that order. He’s worked with and befriended many big stars and comedy legends, like Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, George Wallace, Phil Hartman, Richard Belzer, Jerry Lewis, and Andrew “Dice” Clay, among many others. Jeffrey has performed stand-up comedy at most of the big clubs in NY and L.A. and was featured several times on Comedy Central’s hit Kroll Show with Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Amy Poehler, Seth Rogen, Laura Dern and Katy Perry. He was actually the first to be pranked with Too Much Tuna in the viral “Too Much Tuna” sketch on Kroll Show, and was also a regular on-air personality on Sirius XM’s Bennington Show, (formerly Ron and Fez), for two years, where he also brought on special guests/friends like Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, Colin Quinn, Artie Lange, Susie Essman, D.L. Hughley, and Lisa Lampanelli. He’s also a comedy journalist and has been covering the comedy scene since 1999. From 2014-2019 he wrote a weekly column covering the comedy scene for The Interrobang called “Jumping Around With Jeffrey Gurian”, and has also written for MTV, National Lampoon, Weekly World News, The Weekly Humorist and many Friars Roasts.

He’s produced shows starring Kevin Hart and Susie Essman, and according to Paul Provenza, and Nick Kroll is known by everyone in comedy. Nick says on camera that “nobody has more access to people in comedy than Jeffrey Gurian.” He was honored to have been given his own column in the legendary Weekly World News, ( the pre-cursor to The Onion), called “Gurian’s World of the Bizarre”.

He filmed several episodes of Real Housewives of New York and created a sketch for Countess LuAnn and Princess Carole Radziwill, and recently filmed an episode of HBO’s hit Crashing at the request of director Judd Apatow.
