Sklar Brothers |
|
about me: Growing up outside of St. Louis , Randy & Jason Sklar had a typical suburban upbringing – playing soccer and baseball after school, hanging out with friends. Then they found comedy.
"a tag team delivery in which one talks over the end of the other's sentence, completing, adding to or reaffirming his comment (much like the raps of The Beastie Boys)," wrote Neil Strauss of the New York Times.
Their comedy quickly attracted the attention of MTV's talent executives looking to develop a different kind of comedy show.
What they came up with was " Apartment 2F " – a sitcom format based around Randy and Jason's characters living in New York City
After developing pilots with HBO Independent Productions, WB and NBC, Jason and Randy provided the voices of Biff and Chip Oblong on the critically acclaimed animated show, The Oblongs
Randy and Jason have also guest starred in several TV shows, including an Emmy Award winning episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. They starred as conjoined twins in a memorable episode of Grey's Anatomy and as warring agents on HBO's Entourage. Of
In November of 2006, Randy and Jason wrapped their 4th and final season of their critically acclaimed comedy series, Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic. In 77 episodes, the Sklars built a strong following in both the sports and comedy worlds.
Currently, they write and appear in a regular segment on ESPN's SportsCenter called, “The Bracket”. They fill in as guest hosts for Jim Rome on his popular nationally syndicated radio show.
Also, Randy and Jason can be seen in Touchstone's, Wild Hogs, as well as in Fox Atomic's, The Comebacks. And in November of 2007 Randy and Jason can be seen in the season three finale of the cult FX hit “It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia .”

bot's thoughts
the phrase "perfectly syncopated" is not often used to describe a stand-up act, but when you have the sklars on stage it's a spot on description. these guys have an arsenal that no one man act has, they can talk over each other, speak simultaneously, break into dialogue, and full blown sketches at any point and they use those weapons so well that they'll literally blow your mind. okay, the arsenal analogy is exhausted, but you get my point. |
