From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Jay London (born September 12, year unknown, in The Bronx) is an American stand-up comic whose one-liner jokes made him a favorite on NBC's now defunct show Last Comic Standing. Although he did not win in the two seasons he appeared in (Seasons 2 and 3, both in 2004), his humble personality and clean comedy made him a favorite among the show's fans.
London was born in The Bronx, but grew up in Flushing, Queens, before moving to Los Angeles in his adult years. He was a boxer and a taxi driver, among other occupations, before becoming a stand-up comic in the 1980s.
Comedy style
London is known for his long curly hair and bib overalls. His signature line is "You might recognize me, I'm the fourth guy from the left on the evolutionary chart." which refers to his caveman-like looks. His comedy is usually self-deprecating and laden with quips such as "0 for 1", "This is death!" and his trademark line, "It's almost over." During his run on Last Comic Standing, he made a guest appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
After Last Comic Standing, London joined fellow Season 2 competitors Gary Gulman and Alonzo Bodden (who won Season 3) as part of the "I'm Still Standing" comedy tour. He has also done shows for cancer patients and small comedy clubs. In 2004, Jay made an appearance on the CBS sitcom King of Queens and on the game show Street Smarts; in 2005, he appeared on the TBS reality show Minding the Store and Bravo's All-Star Reality Reunion.
