Celebrity Comedians
Paul Rodriguez

Paul Rodriguez's career has spanned almost three decades. His first big break came while doing comedy warm-ups for Norman Lear's show "Gloria." Lear ultimately wrote and developed a weekly series for Paul, "a.k.a. Pablo." Paul holds the honor and is enshrined at The Smithsonian as the first television show about a Mexican American Family on mainstream American television. He went on to two other series, "Trial and Error," and "Grand Slam" for CBS. Paul segued nicely from television to motion pictures, making his feature film debut in the comedy "D.C. Cab." Paul also had roles in "Miracles," "The Whoopie Boys," "Quicksilver," "Born In East L.A.," "Made in America," "Ali" and "Rat Race," among others. He also starred in six HBO comedy specials including "Loco Slam," "Live in San Quentin" and "Idiots and Armadillos." Just recently, Paul voiced a character in "El Americano: The Movie." Paul Rodriguez has gone the distance because he's damn awesome. Encore!
