Ben Gleib
Ben Gleib (born June 18, 1978) is an American actor, stand-up comedian, satirist, news commentator, and writer.
Gleib was born Ben Nathan Gleiberman to Nate and Ziva Gleiberman in Los Angeles, California, on June 18, 1978. He has a younger brother named Ron Gleiberman.
Gleib attended the University of California, San Diego, where he studied communications and theater. His honors thesis work included producing a four-year campus TV talk show, The Gleib Show, the finale of which included Gleib's delivery to UC San Diego's Price Center Plaza by marines in a military tank, followed by an interview with Carmen Electra.
In 2006, Gleib sold a television pilot, The Gleib Show, to Fox. The pilot was produced by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, Broadway Video, and NBC/Universal. It was based on a TV show that Gleib directed, wrote, and starred in for three seasons on the National Lampoon College Network from 2003 to 2005 that aired to college campuses across the country; it was consistently the network's number one show. It was co-written and produced by Scot Richardson. The series was based on a show of the same title that Gleib had performed for four years while he attended college at the University of California, San Diego.
In 2007, Gleib starred in the NBC series The Real Wedding Crashers, a primetime comedy. The show also aired on Bravo and the Style Network. Other cast members included Desi Lydic (host of The Daily Show), Catherine Reitman (creator, executive producer, writer, and star of Workin' Moms), Gareth Reynolds (co-host of The Dollop), and Steve Byrne (creator, writer, and star of Sullivan & Son).
Gleib was billed as one of "the six comedians who could be comedy's next big things" and part of "a bumper crop of brilliant new-alt comics" by Esquire. He was also named one of the "funniest comedians working today" by TBS. In 2008, Gleib was featured on the NBC competition show Last Comic Standing. He subsequently performed stand-up twice on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly in 2009 and 2015. He is known for covering a wide range of topics in his act as well as his improvisational skills, often making up large sections of his performance based on interactions with the crowd.
Gleib was a regular guest on the E! late night talk show Chelsea Lately for seven years until the show ended in 2014. He has been a frequent guest on KPCC (Southern California's NPR affiliate) on the Patt Morrison Program, bringing his comedic spin to political issues. Gleib won a Golden Mic aware for his work on Patt Morrison's Comedy Congress. He also reported for KPCC live from the 2008 Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota and the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Gleib has appeared as an actor in thirteen movies, as well as several TV series. His first notable role was a supporting role in the feature film Bar Starz (2008), which had a limited theatrical release. The film also featured Charlie Murphy, Daniel Franceze, Derek Waters, Jon Bernthal, and Nikki Griffin. Gleib is billed in the main cast of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Gleib was a lead actor in the Disney+ anthology series Just Beyond based on a graphic novel from R.L. Stine, and he is featured on the series poster. As himself, Gleib was also a regular on Today with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on NBC. Gleib is also the voice of Marshall the Sloth in Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012), one of the stars of Kevin Smith's Jay & Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! (2013), and the voice of Dali in The Book of Life (2014). His voices have also appeared in Phineas and Ferb.
