Steve Rannazzisi | 10:45 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 | 11:30 PM
 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.

Chris D'Elia | 11:45 PM
 Chris was 16 the first time he performed stand-up comedy. He would act up in church, so the pastor told him he could do some time on stage afterwards if he behaved himself. Well he didn't behave, but was still allowed to get on stage in front of everyone.
Although his church performance was a success, it would be years later that D'Elia actually started a career in stand-up comedy. East coast born, West coast raised, Chris found himself in Los Angeles, on stage anywhere he could get up-- from local coffee shops to various hole-in-the-wall dive bars. Performing every night of the week, he quickly became a regular at all the clubs in Hollywood. Chris's silly, physical humor is what sets him apart from other comedians. Chris explains, "I never really feel like just standing there and telling jokes. I wanna move around. In fact, it's hard for me to write a joke where I don't end up on the ground for some reason. Hey... at least that way I know no comics will steal my shit. Too many bruises."
His comedy has an emphasis on characters, maybe because of his background in acting. Chris has guest starred on such shows as "Monk" and "Boston Legal", among others.
In 2008 Chris toured the United States with fellow comedian JoKoy. In 2009 you can catch Chris's act on Showtime's new upcoming series "Live Nude Comedy".

Brian Sheil | 12:00 AM (Sat Nov. 07)
 Where old Hollywood meets the new Las Vegas; his stand-up will have your cheeks aching as you sing along to the hysterical song parodies of today’s most “vocally challenged” superstars. Hootie, Macy Gray, Bob Dylan, and Shaggy would all do well in speech therapy class, but with Sylvester Stallon as the teacher, no one will pass. Garth Brooks sings with his long lost cousin, Forest Gump. The boulevard of broken dreams becomes the Big K-mart of one hit wonders, where Rick Springfield “likes Pinacolates” through “Seasons in the Sun” and the Violent Femms get Ricky Martin a job “Working El Pollo Loco”. Robert Downey Jr. checks into rehab, only to find Elvis as his sponsor. Then Village Person try’s to circumcise Neil Diamond…you have to be there.
