Steve Rannazzisi | 10:15 PM
 "Nobody wants to hang around a smart-ass, Stephen."
That's what a Catholic schoolteacher told Stephen Rannazzisi growing up in Long Island New York. Stephen went on to prove her wrong by "hanging out" or "pissing off" many different celebrities on this season of PUNK'D.
Stephen grew up on Long Island, New York and graduated from a SUNY college with a degree in Theater. After graduation, he left Long Island to pursue the only career he was suited for--entertaining. Upon his arrival in the big city, Stephen got a job as a doorman at the world-famous Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard. It was there that he honed his skills amongst some of the most prolific comics in the business, such as Eddie Griffin, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Dice Clay. And after winning over some of the toughest crowds in show business, Stephen would check id's at the door, answer phones in the office, and clean up vomit in the men's room. He also honed his craft of character acting at The Groundlings School and theater. All the hard work has started to pay off as the Hollywood industry has begun to take notice. Stephen was signed by top-level management and soon received his big break appearing as a cast member on MTV's PUNK'D.
"Great job!" said Ashton. "You really nailed it!!"
And, with the respect of his peers and an undying commitment to his craft, the future looks very bright for this talented young performer. |

Sam Tripoli | 12:15 AM (Thu Nov. 05)
 Practitioner of the Deadly Art of Comedy.
Sam Tripoli views comedy as a calling rather a profession. It's a passion that he's been preaching to audiences at comedy clubs across the country and on television, including Comedy Central's Premium Blend, (receiving only one of two standing ovations in the history of the show), a frolicsome turn as a male escort for E! Entertainment's Party @ the Palms, The Late Late Show on CBS, Comic Unleashed and as a co-host of Spike TV's Wide World of Spike, a comedy-action cult classic. On stage he's a force of nature, pacing the stage like a cyclone of funny as he questions authority and the conventions of our society one moment, then earnestly expresses his affinity for the bizarre the next. His comedy has no limits , its whatever he's thinking about, and that's usually what everyone else is thinking about, even though sometimes we don't like to admit to it.
I like to think of myself as the little voice in everyone's head, except I have a microphone and I'm funnier,Sam says.
