Gary Owen

"Brother's got the WESTSIDE, trailer park's got DOUBLEWIDES!!" Gary Owen is the only white guy to ever host B.E.T.'s "Comicview". Many people recognize Gary as the dancing "Mr. Broccoli" in the blockbuster movie "Daddy Day Care" with Eddie Murphy. Or as the goofy redneck deputy in the movie "Held Up" with Jamie Foxx.

San Diego's African-American community embraced him, and he went onto win the "Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego" contest. That led to his first big gig at Los Angeles' Comedy Store. Then in July of '97 he auditioned for BET's "Comic View." Two appearances on the multi-cultural comedy showcase won him his own one-hour "Grandstand" show. At the end of the season he was selected from the year's four "Grandstanders" to be the host. Owen was excited because he'd always been a huge "Comic View" fan.

Gary has numerous appearances on Comedy Central, as well as hosting MUN2's hit comedy show "Loco Comedy Jam". Not one to sit and wait for things to happen, Gary recently released his first comedy CD " Live from Tampa" and his first comedy DVD "Breakin Out The Park". One things for sure, when people see Gary live on stage, they keep coming back over and over again.
