DANA GOULD
"I was born and raised in the ironically-named town of Hopedale, Mass. I started performing stand-up comedy at the tender age of 17. As a performer, I was too young to be any good. As a person, I was socially inept and looked weird. Let's skip ahead!

I moved to Los Angeles in the halcyon days of "The Comedy Boom", and in quick succession, I performed in several HBO specials, numerous appearances on Conan and Letterman. I recorded the CD Funhouse, which was called "a comedy CD" by Billboard magazine, and an actor, appeared on Seinfeld, The Ben Stiller Show and the series "Working" (which wasn't, and was soon cancelled).

After writing the pilot "World On A String" (with Jay Kogen), I co-created MTV's late, lamented, Super Adventure Team (with Rob Cohen). I then joined the staff of The Simpsons, where I squatted for seven years. Stand up remains a big part of my career, and I continue to perform regularly. I recently appeared in the film "The Aristocrats". and am preparing to record my next stand-up CD. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and a bunch of kids and dogs. I think we had a hamster, but I haven't seen it around.

LIZZ WINSTEAD
As a co-creator and former head writer of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," and Co-creator of Air America Radio; LIZZ WINSTEAD has emerged as a critically acclaimed political writer and producer.
As a performer, WINSTEAD brought her political wit to "The Daily Show" as a Correspondent and later to the radio waves co-hosting "Unfiltered", Air America Radio's mid morning show with citizen of the world and Hip Hop legend CHUCK D, and political big brain RACHEL MADDOW.

Lizz’ comedic talents have been recognized in Entertainment Weekly's 100 most Creative People issue and she was nominated Best Female Club Performer by The American Comedy Awards and has appeared numerous times on television including HBO's "Women of the Night", “The US Comedy Arts Festival” in Aspen, “Comedy Central Presents.." and too many basic cable stand-up shows and VH-1 “50 Greatest This” and “100 Greatest That’s” to mention….

Currently, WINSTEAD is featured in the film, “American Cannibal” as well as writing, and producing for television and performing in clubs and theaters across the country.
