Dave Attell Career

He worked his first gig at Governor’s in Levittown and, according to Attell, “totally bombed”. Attell’s first appearance on television was in 1988 on VH1’s Stand-Up Spotlight, which also highlighted early appearances by Lewis Black, Margaret Cho, Jeff Garlin, Jay Mohr, and Wanda Sykes. The show was hosted by Rosie O’Donnell.

Perhaps his biggest break was accomplished on November 23, 1993, when he showed up on The Late Show with David Letterman. The appearance was seen by Saturday Night Live maker Lorne Michaels, who then selected Attell to be an essayist, 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 highlighted on two HBO specials: alongside up-and-comers Louis C.K., Anthony Clark, Eric Tunney, and Dave Chappelle. He was an included performer on the 1995 Young Comedians Special hosted by Garry Shandling. He was given his own hour-long special on the channel’s HBO Comedy Showcase. Subsequently, Attell was also given an episode of HBO Comedy Half-Hour in 1997.

Attell’s first one-hour special, Captain Miserable publicized December 8, 2007, on HBO. His latest special Road Work publicized 2014 on Comedy Central. In 2018 he visited with Jeff Ross on the Bumping Mics Tour. In the course of the last three days of the visit, they taped a three-section documentary-style series for Netflix. The interspersed film showcases the pair’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.

In 1995, Attell appeared as Squiggly Dave on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. The network issued Attell an installment in their Comedy Central Presents series and signed him as an ordinary commentator to its satirical news series The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, on which he appeared for three years (1999). Attell’s commentary segment was designated “The Ugly American”. He returned for the finale episode of host Stewart’s residency.

In 2003, Attell began showing up semi-routinely on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. The show included 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. The unscripted show was canceled in November 2004.

In 2007, Attell appeared in the Michael Addis film, Heckler. Attell also appeared on Comedy Central’s Last Laugh in 2007. In July 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 January 2010, he co-hosted the AVN Awards show, along with pornography actresses Kirsten Price and Kayden Kross; and again in 2012 with co-hostesses Sunny Leone and Bree Olson.

In May 2008, Attell announced a casting approach to his MySpace page for Comedy Central’s relaunch of The Gong Show. Attell was host, along with Greg Fitzsimmons serving as head essayist on the series. Be that as it may, The Gong Show with Dave Attell publicized only from July to September 2008.

Attell returned to television on Showtime starting October 20, 2011, in Dave’s Old Porn, a TV series where Attell views and jokes about retro 1970s and 1980s pornographic movies with different guest comedians. Regularly, during a given show, Attell and his guest see clips that give a diagram of a specific retro pornography star’s vocation. Close to the furthest limit of that show, that specific pornography actor appears and also comments on clips from some of his or her movies.

He assumed the role of “Don” in Los Enchiladas!, a film written, produced, and directed by comedian Mitch Hedberg, starring Hedberg as well as individual comedians Todd Barry and Marc Maron. In the short film The Office Party, Attell once again assumed the role of “Don”. The film co-starred ex-Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, Jon Stewart, Carol Kane and Tate Donovan. The film was written and directed by Daily Show maker Chiara Edmands.

Pootie Tang saw Attell as the blundering corporate flunky, “Frank”. The film was written and directed by his friend Louis C.K. It co-starred Lance Crouther, Wanda Sykes and Chris Rock among others. Attell also played “Efram the Driver” in the Independent element My Suicidal Sweetheart, written and directed by filmmaking newcomer Michael Parness. The film co-starred Natasha Lyonne, David Krumholtz, Tim Blake Nelson, Lorraine Bracco, David Paymer, and Rosanna Arquette.

Attell had appearance appearances in the films Abby Singer and Scary Movie 4. He plays the character Barker in the 2008 comedy film Harold. Attel had an appearance in the Judd Apatow film Funny People which starred Adam Sandler (an old friend of Attell’s from his New York University days). He voiced the GPS on the Mystery Machine in the 2010 film Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo. He appeared in Trainwreck as the primary character Amy’s homeless friend “Noam”.

Dave Attell Insomniac with Dave Attell

Insomniac with Dave Attell is a television series, which ran from August 5, 2001, until November 11, 2004. Described by Attell as “Wild on E! for Ugly People”, it featured Attell walking the streets of America’s cities late at night, meeting the people in a haze of ecstatic inebriation. The show occasionally went overseas.

The American cities featured on the show were Albuquerque, Anchorage, Atlanta, Austin (2 times), Baltimore, Boise, Boston, Charleston (WV), Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Honolulu, Houston, Kansas City, Key West, Las Vegas, Little Rock, Long Island, Memphis, Miami, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City (4 times), Oakland, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Reno, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City.

The foreign cities featured on the show were Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Montreal, Tijuana, Toronto, and specials that took place in Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. The most common activity (besides roaming the street aimlessly and visiting bars) was visiting workers on their night shifts. Instead of spending time with gas station attendants, he went searching for odd professions to highlight.

Among them were crime-scene cleaners, bail bondsmen, cow milkers, brothel hookers, bicycle cops, coal miners, and porn overdubbers. Memorable episodes include a visit to Chicago’s world-famous The Wieners Circle, where the staff routinely got in cursing matches with their customers, and a visit to a Phoenix nudist camp. Throughout the run of the show, Attell carried around a one-time-use film camera and took pictures of random events, which would be shown during the end credits.
