Bil Dwyer
Headliner
Hailing from Chicago, IL, Bil Dwyer, like many hearty Midwesterners, is a
very private person and likes to keep things to himself. Unlike many hearty
Midwesterners, he is forced to compose bios of himself written in the third
person. Bil’s career has covered many facets of show business, from performing
to writing to commercial voiceover work.
Bil is an accomplished standup comic, who has appeared on The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and his very own
half hour standup special, Comedy Central Presents: Bil Dwyer. His takes on
marriage, kids and family are hip and sardonic, and yet beneath lies a certain
odd sweetness.
Bil has hosted GSN’s I’ve Got a Secret, Comedy Central’s BattleBots, Fox
Sports’ Ultimate Fan League, PAX-TV’s Dirty Rotten Cheaters, GSN’s Extreme
Dodgeball and MTV’s The 70’s House (as mock game show host, Bert Van
Styles).
Besides appearing on great television shows like The Larry Sanders Show and
Ally McBeal, Bil has also been in such forgettable films as Ski School 2, The
Bogus Witch Project, and What Planet are You From? Writing with sitcom star/
television producer Christopher Titus, Bil co-created a show based on his stand-
up comedy called Back After This for Sony Pictures Television.
A regular commentator on various cable shows, he is most often recognized for
his work on VH1’s highly-rated I Love the… series. Bil was also seen as a finalist
on Season 4 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing and starred in Cartoon Network’s
live action/animation hybrid series, Out of Jimmy’s Head. He recently hosted
the Tiny Football League which ran at halftime on NBC’s Sunday Night Football
and also recurred as Valerie Bertinelli’s ex-husband on the highly-rated TV Land
sitcom, Hot in Cleveland.
