After five years on the Fox hit television series "Living Single," John Henton has earned a name for himself as one of today's leading comic talents.
Born and raised in Cleveland, John made the move to Los Angeles in 1985 and, by 1988, started pursuing stand-up comedy as a full time career. After winning the 1991 Johnny Walker National Comedy Search, John Henton was booked on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. As he finished his set, Henton looked to Carson for his approval and received much more. Henton was called over to take a seat on the coveted couch where Carson asked him if he had an booking, agent, agency. To Henton's reply of "no", Carson mugged, "Well you will after tonight." It was a performance that Henton says gave his career a "serious jump-start."
Since then John Henton has made appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show and Bob Hope's Young Comedian's Special as well as returning to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In January 1993, Henton starred in his own half-hour comedy special for Showtime, "John Henton: Comedy With An Attitude."
In April of 1993, John Henton was cast in the FOX-TV series "Living Single" starring Queen Latifah and Kim Fields Freeman. The show received stellar ratings and TV Guide selected Henton's character as one of the "break out" characters of the 1993 fall season. John recently returned to series television on the ABC comedy "The Hughley's."
