Дэвид Аттелл: Америкалық стендап комигінің өмірі мен мансабы

American stand up comedian

David Attell (born January 18, 1965) is an American stand up comedian, actor and writer best known as the host of Comedy Central's Insomniac with Dave Attell.

Attell was born in the New York City borough of Queens to a Jewish family. He was raised in Rockville Centre on Long Island. He graduated from South Side High School. After graduating from New York University in 1987 with a degree in communications, Attell began performing at open mic nights. On November 23, 1993, he made his first appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. The appearance was seen by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, who then recruited Attell to be a writer, and occasional performer, on SNL. Attell can be seen behind Chris Farley during the "Rudy Giuliani Inauguration" sketch. Attell worked on the show for the 1993–94 season. In 1995, Attell was featured on two HBO specials alongside up and comers Louis C. K. and Dave Chappelle. In 1995, Attell appeared as Squiggly Dave on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. In 1999, the network issued Attell an installment in the second season of Comedy Central Presents series. The same year the network signed him as a regular commentator to its satirical news series The Daily Show, on which he appeared for three years. Attell's commentary segment was called "The Ugly American". He returned for the finale episode of host Jon Stewart's tenure. In 2001, the television series Insomniac with Dave Attell premiered on Comedy Central. Attell described it as "Wild on E! for Ugly People". In 2003, Attell began appearing on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. The show featured many of the performers he works with at the New York City comedy club the Comedy Cellar and is based on the conversations they would have off stage at the Olive Tree Cafe, the restaurant above the club. Attell appeared on Comedy Central's Last Laugh in 2007. In 2008, Attell began hosting The Gong Show with Dave Attell for Comedy Central. Like the 1970s version, the show had a rotating panel of celebrity judges grading unusual acts. In May 2008, Attell announced a casting call on his MySpace page for Comedy Central's relaunch of The Gong Show. Attell was host, along with Greg Fitzsimmons serving as head writer on the series. However, The Gong Show with Dave Attell aired only from July to September 2008. In January 2010, he co hosted the AVN Awards show, along with porn actresses Kirsten Price and Kayden Kross; and again in 2012 with co hostesses Sunny Leone and Bree Olson. Attell returned to television on Showtime beginning October 20, 2011, in Dave's Old Porn, a TV series in which Attell views and jokes about retro 1970s and 1980s pornographic films with different guest comedians. Typically, during a given show, Attell and his guest view clips that give an overview of a particular retro porn star's career. Near the end of the show, that particular actor appears and also comments on clips from some of their films. In April 2014, Comedy Central premiered Comedy Underground with Dave Attell, a late night stand up comedy show taped live in New York. In 2018 he toured with Jeff Ross on the Bumping Mics Tour. Over the last three days of the tour they taped a three part documentary series, Bumping Mics with Jeff Ross & Dave Attell for Netflix. Interspersed footage showcases the duo's interactions both off stage and on as they return to the Comedy Cellar, where a spontaneous first performance marked the birth of their ensemble act.

Attell has been sober since the late 2000s.
