From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Vance DeGeneres (born September 2, 1954 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a producer and writer of several television shows. He is the brother of actress and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres.

Vance was a correspondent on The Daily Show from 1999 to 2001. Vance would occasionally present a feature done in the style of a Dateline NBC report, known as "Tale of Survival." In which a trivial incident was reported as if it was perhaps not so trivial as all that. Rather, it was presented as quite dangerous and serious, such as the time the pork-chop a man was preparing caught fire and distressed his pet parrot. Between pre-filmed portions, Vance would appear in the studio hiding behind various set-decorations or apparatuses, describing the events in greater frightful detail. Unlike other Daily Show pieces, this one would be divided by a commercial break to accentuate the anticlimactic aspect.

He hosted a radio program called New Wave New Orleans in the late 1970s, broadcast on WRNO. He played guitar in "The Cold", a new-wave band based in New Orleans.

In the mid-1980s, Vance co-founded the short-lived rock band called House of Schock with The Go-Go's drummer Gina Schock. In 1998, he played keyboards for a New Orleans-based band called Cowboy Mouth.

He originated the role of Mr. Hands in the Mr. Bill show.
