About Alonzo Bodden
Alonzo Bodden (born June 13, 1962) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer and former political commentator. In 2004, he won NBC's reality competition TV show Last Comic Standing in its third season, after being the runner-up in its second season earlier that year. He debuted his comedy album in 2001, and his hour-long DVD special and a half-hour television special in 2005. Born and raised in the St. Albans neighborhood of Queens, New York, to an African American mother and an Afro-Honduran father, he attended Aviation High School in Long Island City and went on to work for Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas in the training department in the early 1990s.
Just for Laughs in Montreal provided Bodden's big break, and he has hosted the annual Just for Laughs festival in Bermuda over a dozen times. He hosted the Speed TV program 101 Cars You Must Drive and America's Worst Driver, and has performed on television shows including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and Comedy Central Presents. He is also a voice actor whose work includes Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue and Fallout 76: Wastelanders, and his film credits include Bringing Down the House (2003), The Girl Next Door (2004), and Scary Movie 4 (2006).
Since 2010, Bodden has been a recurring panelist on NPR's quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, and he has regularly appeared as a commentator for The Young Turks. In 2019 he released his special Heavy Lightweight on Amazon Prime Video and was tapped to host Family Feud Live, a live traveling version of the game show. A car and motorcycle enthusiast, Bodden donated a kidney to his brother on March 26, 2013, and moved to Las Vegas in 2024, where he currently resides.
