A true double-threat, actor-comedian Ralph Harris has made it big as both an actor and a stand-up. Harris' acting career was the first to take off, with a starring role on '90s TGIF sitcom On Our Own and guest spots on Seinfeld, Living Single and more. He's gone on to feature film work, including appearances in Dreamgirls and Evan Almighty. Always a stand-up at heart, Harris has had specials on Comedy Central and HBO, appeared all over late-night TV, and competed as a finalist on Last Comic Standing. His act pulls from his real life and large family, and often finds Harris slipping in and out of hilarious characters. Learn More

He was funny some of the time. He did not have a real show; he just made fun of individuals in the front few rows. If you do not want to be made fun of do not sit in the front! I would see him again, but I will wait a little while. The same old Non-PC jokes can get old.Written on Sep 12 2011

More Information About Comedian Brad Garrett
Description
Standing 6 feet 8-1/2 inches tall, Garrett grew up in Woodland Hills outside of Los Angeles. His father was a hearing aid specialist working in geriatrics and his mother was a housewife. Garrett spent a whopping six weeks at UCLA before going into stand-up comedy full time. He began performing his act at various Los Angeles comedy clubs, getting his start at the The Improv in Hollywood and the Ice House in Pasadena. In 1984, he became the first $100,000 grand champion winner in the comedy category of Star Search. This led to his first appearance, at age 23, on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, making him one of the youngest comedians ever to perform on the show.
Following his Tonight Show appearance, Garrett's career took off, garnering him headlining gigs at several national venues as well as opening spots for legends including Diana Ross and Liza Minnelli. He has headlined at Bally's Park Place and co-headlined with The Temptations at Trump Plaza. He also worked at The Sands Hotel in Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra, Caesar's Palace with David Copperfield and Smokey Robinson, Harrah's with Sammy Davis Jr, the The Beach Boys, and Radio City Music Hall with Julio Iglesias. In 1989, the Las Vegas Review Journal named him the best comedian working on the Strip.
Changing gears, he made his way into the world of television. He struck gold with Everybody Loves Raymond. Apart from his supporting role in sitcoms, he has also done voice-overs and appeared in a few films. In 1998, Garrett made a real-life proposal to his then real-life girlfriend, Jill Diven, on the set of Everybody Loves Raymond. Garrett currently resides in Hollywood, California with his two Labradors, Gus and Mabel.
