The 42-year-old comedian spent the better part of his twenties working as a flight-attendant before moonlighting as a stand-up funnyman. After losing his job and kicking around comedy clubs for several years, ANT received his first break as a recurring character in the ‘90s sitcom Unhappily Ever After. When that show ended its run, he hit the stand-up circuit for a few years before making it onto the first season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. From there, ANT never looked back – he became a fixture (and eventual judge) on the show, and parlayed that fame into regular appearances on The Tonight Show and a gig hosting VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club.
