NICKELBACK ROCKSTAR VIDEO CAST CODE
“Then I quit my day job like an idiot, then I was broke for a long time, then I started doing Guy Code and Girl Code, then finally I got The Nightly Show for two years.” He just sold and will soon premiere a new show, Headliners, which will feature comedians “chopping up the stories of the week.” Jordan moved to New York after college and worked in advertising to support his evening stand-up habit. To succeed at comedy, he says, “I always think that you have to have that mix of a bit of stupidity and also some confidence, too, that helps you say, why not me?” “It was the best audition I ever had.” His stand-up career started in his undergrad years at Brown during summers in New York City his first performance was for the benefit of four people, all his friends.
“I thought that was the farthest I’d ever go in comedy,” he says. Jordan’s June 1 show will be his first in Rhode Island, if you don’t count his performances with Improvidence, Brown’s improv troupe.
He spent the Obama years as College Humor’s go-to presidential impersonator and just performed at Samantha Bee’s Not the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. He wrote for The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore his various on-screen appearances for the show involved everything from debating punishment for sex offenders with Christiane Amanpour to nervously downing a bottle of Pepto Bismol.
You may recognize him as Stephen Colbert’s “one black friend” (back when the character “Stephen Colbert” was an arch-conservative staging gravitas-offs with Stone Phillips), or as the star of MTV’s I Just Want My Pants Back, depending on your comedic preferences. On June 1, Jordan Carlos kicks off his New England tour with a night at Comedy Connection.
