A stand-up comedian since his high school days at Valley Stream Central High School in NY, Jim Breuer worked in comedy clubs around the country for several years before deciding to become a regular on the New York comedy club circuit. After being in New York for only seven months, he landed a gig on the nationally syndicated show, "Uptown Comedy Club," where he spent two seasons.

In 1995, Jim joined NBC’s "Saturday Night Live," becoming best known for his original character "Goat Boy" and his impression of actor Joe Pesci. After a four-year stint on "SNL," Jim starred in the movie "Half Baked" alongside Dave Chappelle. That summer, MTV also invited the comedian to co-host the popular show "MTV’s Beach House." Additional appearances include numerous stints on NBC’s "Late Night with Conan O’Brien," as well as roles in several movies, such as "Dick" (1999), "Beer League” (2006), and most recently, "The Zookeeper" (2010) with Kevin James.
