He began his career by performing in local comedy clubs in Ottawa. He later started his career in entertainment by writing for the hit show Roseanne.
He was famously fired from SNL because NBC West Coast Executive Don Ohlmeyer didn't think he was funny but many believe Ohlmeyer's friendship with OJ Simpson, who was often mocked on Update, was the cause.

He has appeared on The Drew Carey Show.
