Originally from San Diego, The Jabbawockeez are the winners of season one of America's Best Dance Crew on MTV. As the winners, they received a grand prize of $100,000 and their final performance was "Stronger" by Kanye West. The eight original members are: Phil Tayag, Kevin Brewer, Joseph Larot, Rynan Paguio, Chris Gatdula, Randy Bernal, Ryan Ellis, and Gary Kendell. The member that passed away was Gary Kendell. Jabbawockeez is the magnificent result of the "3 Musky" and Gary Kendall. The "3 Musky" is what Kevin Brewer, Phil Tayag, and Joseph Larot call themselves within the group. Gary Kendall was known as the "yoda" of the crew. He traveled though north and south California, bringing everyone together. After he passed away, he became the inspiration for the crew on America's Best Dance Crew. They made several debuts on the big screen and the small screen. They featured on America's Got Talent in the year of 2007, but did not win. However, their futures made a huge U-turn when they had a chance to appear on America's Best Dance Crew, a dance show developed by MTV. Since then they have made guest appearances on miTRL, BET Awards, and the Asian Excellence Awards. They are now stars of their own nightly show on the Las Vegas Strip at The Monte Carlo Resort and Casino.
