The Resume

    Stand-up comic
    Frequent panelist on E!'s 'Chelsea Lately'

Why he might be annoying:

    He dropped out of college to do standup.
    He derived his stage name from the Filipino word for 'joker.'
    He was part of the original cast for Chelsea Handler's sitcom 'Are You There, Chelsea,' but was dropped during 'restructuring' before the show aired (2011).

    'Variety' named him one of '10 Comics to Watch.' (2007)
    He said, 'My inspirations were Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Billy Crystal. They were happy, they had big smiles on their faces, there was energy.... I don't go to a comedy club to hear miserable shit in a funny way.'
    He tweeted an apology after the Chicago show, adding 'Homophobia is not funny.'
