    J Chris Newberg is a comedian, writer, and musician that has performed on America’s Got Talent, the Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live & Comedy Central. He has toured with Russell Peters and written songs for American Idol. He is in fact the funniest person that you have never heard of. Yet.  Some of your favorite comedians have used his jokes on SNL, Late Night With David Letterman, Chelsea Lately and The Conan O’Brien show.

    J Chris stops by to talk to Stephen about how he got into comedy (and out of a rock band), what it was like to perform on America's Got Talent and return to roast Piers Morgan, how he got a job on Ben Gleib's "Idiotest" and so much more.


    Then the two chaps get into some self-help, including how to overcome your fear of needles and how to get your nosy friends' noses out of your books.
