Ben Nathan Gleiberman[2] (born June 18, 1978), known professionally as Ben Gleib, is an American actor, comedian, satirist, and writer. Early life and education[edit]Gleib was born to Nate and Ziva Gleiberman in Los Angeles, California, on June 18, 1978.[3] He has one brother, Ron Gleiberman, who is younger.[4] Gleib attended the University of California, San Diego,[5] where he studied communications and theater. His honors thesis work included producing a four-year campus TV talk show, “The Gleib Show,” the finale of which included Gleib's delivery to UC San Diego’s Price Center Plaza by marines in a military tank followed by an interview with Carmen Electra.[6] Career[edit]Gleib was a regular guest on the E! late night talk show Chelsea Lately for seven years until the show ended in 2014.[7] He has been a frequent guest on KPCC (Southern California's NPR affiliate) on the Patt Morrison Program, bringing his comedic spin to political issues. He also reported for KPCC live from the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gleib starred in the NBC series The Real Wedding Crashers, a primetime comedy. The show also aired on Bravo and on Style Network.[8] In 2009, he performed his standup on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly, and in 2008 Gleib was featured on the NBC competition show Last Comic Standing. He is known for covering a wide range of topics in his act and his improvisational skills, often making up large sections of his performance based on interactions with the crowd. In 2006, he sold a television pilot, The Gleib Show, to Fox. The pilot was produced by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, Broadway Video, and NBC/Universal.[9] This show was based on a TV show that Gleib directed, wrote, and starred in for three seasons on the National Lampoon College Network from 2003 to 2005 that aired to college campuses across the country; it was consistently the network's number one show. It was also written and produced by Scot Richardson. The show was based on a show of the same title that Gleib performed for four years during college at the University of California, San Diego. Gleib appears in a supporting role in the feature film Bar Starz, which had a limited theatrical release. The film also featured Charlie Murphy, Daniel Franceze, Derek Waters, Jon Bernthal, and Nikki Griffin. Gleib is one of the stars of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie, the voice of Marshall the Sloth in Ice Age: Continental Drift, and the voice of Dali in The Book of Life. His voices have also appeared in Phineas and Ferb and YouTube series The Melvin Bros.[10] In addition, Gleib has performed on The Late Late Show on CBS, at the Vancouver Comedy Festival, the Laughing Matters Festival in the Netherlands, hosted several pods for Current TV, and in 2002 he wrote the "Radio Music Awards" for ABC. Since November 2011, Gleib has hosted the podcast Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib, distributed through Kevin Smith's Smodco Podcast Network.[11] He has been guest co-anchor for a week for ABC News digital, from ABC News world headquarters in New York, and provided election night coverage for them in 2016. He has been a frequent on-air contributor on CNN, The Young Turks, and NPR, winning a Golden Mic Award for his work on Southern California NPR's Patt Morrison's Comedy Congress.[12] In 2017 he was one of the hosts of the social impact news show “ASPIREist” on CNN's Headline News.[13]  Beginning in August 2014, Gleib hosted four seasons of the television game show Idiotest on the Game Show Network. He was called by Esquire one of "the six comedians who could be comedy's next big things" and part of "a bumper crop of brilliant new-alt comics".[14] Gleib was also named by TBS one of the "funniest comedians working today."[15] His hour-long standup special Ben Gleib - Neurotic Gangster debuted on Showtime and has been available on Amazon Prime.[15] In October 2021, Charlie Kirk invited Gleib on his show for a debate billed as "A Long-Form Debate with a Deranged Pro-Abortion Activist". Gleib showed him a photograph of a dolphin fetus and asked him whether it was a human being. Kirk replied, "without a doubt."[16][17][18][19] 2020 United States presidential campaign[edit]On May 13, 2019, Gleib announced his candidacy for President of the United States on Twitter.[20] Shortly thereafter, Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks interviewed Gleib.[21] He was also interviewed by Larry King on Politicking with Larry King,[22] and by Hannah Jewell of The Washington Post.[23] At the August 21, 2019, AFL-CIO annual convention at Prairie Meadows Hotel in Altoona, Gleib was the final speaker out of all 2020 Democratic candidates who spoke.[24] However, Gleib struggled to finance his campaign, raising less than $70,000 through all of 2019.[25] Accordingly, on December 30, 2019, Gleib ended his campaign.[26] Nowhere Comedy Club[edit]In response to the COVID-19 pandemic that left many comedians out of work, Gleib started the Nowhere Comedy Club with fellow comedian Steve Hofstetter.[27] Unlike other virtual venues, Nowhere encouraged audiences to keep their video and audio active during Zoom sessions so that performers could see and hear the audience's laughter.[28] The model appears to be working. Within a few months, Nowhere had sold over 10,000 tickets to livestreamed comedy events.[29] Comedians like Jackie Fabulous, Sean Patton, Jay Jurden, Josh Johnson, Nikki Glaser, and Christian Finnegan all performed at Nowhere during the first year of operation.[30] Gleib has indicated his intention to continue exploring virtual opportunities for Nowhere even as lockdowns and other COVID-19 restrictions are lifted in the United States and other countries.
