BuddyTV - USA - Comedian
Alonzo Bodden, the third winner of the reality series Last Comic Standing, is serving as one of the talent scouts for the show’s current season. The show is responsible for launching
Alonzo Bodden’s career, as well as the careers of other previous winners.
"The biggest change is you become a name," he told USA Today. "Before, I was working the clubs. People laughed, but they didn't know who I was. I've gone from club headliner to being a nationally known act."
Alonzo Bodden, a 44-year-old native of Queens, New York, worked as jet mechanic before he tried out for Last Comic Standing. He first appeared in the show during its second season, where he placed second. He returned to the show the following season and finally won the coveted title.
Since being hailed the third winner of Last Comic Standing, Bodden has made numerous television appearances. He has been seen on The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno, Late Night with
Conan O’Brien, The Late Late Show with
Craig Kilborn, Comedy Central Presents and It’s Showtime at the Apollo. He has also worked in Scary Movie 4 and in the upcoming film, National Lampoon’s Totally Baked: A Pot-u-mentary.
