Having performed on Comedy Central Presents and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, he's now the warm-up comic for several high-profile TV shows, including Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, The Daily Show and Red Eye on FoxNews. A canny political satirist, Mecurio is a frequent guest on cable news programs, and he won an Emmy for his outstanding individual work on the Daily Show's landmark Indecision: 2000, which ushered in the unquestionably superior Jon Stewart era of that show. In addition to his considerable behind-the-scenes efforts, Mecurio also hosts the The Paul Mecurio show, a podcast that has featured high-profile guests such as Jay Leno and Sir Paul McCartney.
