Emo Phillips
Emo Philips started doing stand up over 5,000 shows ago back in 1976. He has appeared on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and “The Late Show” with David Letterman, he’s “huge” in England, and he even starred in an episode of “Miami Vice” with Don Johnson! If that’s not cool enough, Jay Leno once called Emo “the best joke writer in America.” “As a master of one-liners, he’s way ahead of everyone else.” The Independent
