Rob was born in New Orleans, and was raised by a single mom in Los Angeles. Contrary to popular belief and unfounded assumptions, he is NOT white.

7 Questions with Dennis Regan

by Ryan Meehan

When Dennis Regan was young, he was on track to fulfill his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback.  Unfortunately, he blew his knee out when he was in kindergarten when he came down a little too hard on the teeter totter one spring afternoon.  Right then and there, he realized that he was going to have to find another way to make a living.  He reassessed his skills and asked himself “What am I good at?  What do I like to do?”  The answers came easily:  He liked daydreaming, goofing off, staring out the window, and cracking up his friends.  Actually the part about wanting to be a quarterback is not true, and his knee is fine.  The true story might not be quite as fascinating, but here it is:

He is a comedian.  He hasn’t always been – He started doing stand-up comedy in his early thirties.  Before that he had many different jobs:  Bussing tables, bagging groceries, killing bugs, throwing luggage, painting houses, and working construction just to name a few.  He hit his first open mic at Coconuts Comedy Club in North Miami in 1987, where he did “okay”.  Four months later, he won a local contest and within a month a club owner was paying him $30 for a ten minute set every weekend.  The next year he moved to New York City, started to do late night shows, and began to break into the main line-up of all the important clubs:  The Improv, The Comic Strip, The Comedy Cellar, Catch a Rising Star, and Dangerfield’s.  From there he went on to appear on television dozens of times:  He’s had multiple appearances on The Late Show of David Letterman and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.  He’s also been on Showtime and Comedy Central, and you probably would have seen him there if you didn’t have eight hundred channels.  I am delighted to have Dennis Regan as my guest today in 7 questions.
