Jay Mohr (born 23 August 1970) is an United
States|American actor and stand-up comedian.

He was born in Verona, New Jersey to Jeannie and
John.  He has two sisters, Julia and Virginia. In
1998, he married Nicole Chamberlain, a former
model, and has one son, Jackson.

In 1999, he was the star of his own jaw-dropping
television series,
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206467/ "Action," in
which he played a sleazy film producer, Peter
Dragon. Particularly good is the character of his
intimidating boss, a thinly-veiled Barry Diller.

He appeared on television as a cast member of
Saturday Night Live and in movies such as Jerry
Maguire and Small Soldiers. He was also the host,
creator, and Executive Producer of the Last Comic
Standing reality television program. He frequently
appears on XM Satellite Radio's Opie and Anthony.
Mohr was also one of several guest hosts of The
Jim Rome Show, but was asked by the network to
refrain from guest-hosting again following a very
controversial appearance in 2004.

Mohr is occasionally accused of stealing material.
His Comedy Central Special is often cited, where
he used a massage bit from Robert Kelly, who also
frequently appears on Opie and Anthony. 

In 2004 he published the book Gasping For Airtime
(ISBN 1401300065), in which he detailed the story
about how SNL was sued when he plagiarized a
sketch about an Irish bartender from comedian Rick
Shapiro.
