Dr. Jeffrey L. Gurian
Jeffrey Gurian is often called a "Renaissance man" and not because that's when he was born! He's a comedy writer, performer, director, author, producer, doctor and Healer.
He was a cosmetic dentist and lecturer, with a D.D.S. degree from Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, and spent 12 years at the NYU School of Dentistry as a clinical professor in the Oral Medicine/Oro-Facial Pain Department. He is very involved with Alternative Medicine and Energy Healing for most of his adult life.
He's also on the board of The Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy since 1999, and has lectured at several energy psychology conferences in this country and Canada.
On the comedy side, he's written material for comedy legends such as Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, George Wallace, Phil Hartman, Richard Belzer, and Andrew "Dice" Clay, among many others. Jeffrey has performed stand-up at most of the big clubs in New York and Los Angeles and was featured several times on Comedy Central's hit Kroll Show with Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Amy Poehler, Seth Rogen, Laura Dern and Katy Perry. He was in the viral "Too Much Tuna" sketch and is also a regular on-air personality on Sirius XM's Bennington Show, where he also brings on special guests/friends like Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, Colin Quinn, Artie Lange, Susie Essman, D.L. Hughley, and Lisa Lampanelli.
He writes a weekly column covering the comedy scene for The Interrobang called "Jumping Around with Jeffrey Gurian", and has also written for MTV, National Lampoon, Weekly World News and many Friars Roasts.
In 1999 he launched Comedy Matters, a celeb-based online entertainment column that has evolved into Comedy Matters TV, an internet TV channel with over 400 A-list celebrity interviews and well over 1.6 million views. He's produced shows starring Kevin Hart and Susie Essman, and according to Paul Provenza is known by everyone in comedy. As a comedian he's performed in all the major clubs in New York and Los Angeles and besides Comedy Central has been featured on AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live.
He was honored to have been given his own column in the legendary Weekly World News called "Gurian's World of the Bizarre". That led to the creation of GNN (Gurian News Network) which brings you the most unusual stories in the universe, missed by mainstream media. He claims to have not slept in many years in order to bring these stories to light! GNN is definitely your source for "All The News That's Fit To Dance To," . . . hence one of his books Man Robs Bank With His Chin!
