Patton Oswalt first got his start headlining in comedy clubs in 1996. After writing for MADtv and starring in his own 1997 comedy special for HBO, he went on to earn notable roles in films and television shows including "Magnolia" and "The King of Queens" on CBS.

In 2004, he released a comedy album titled "Feelin' Kinda Patton" and later that year a longer, unedited version of the same recording called "222."  Also in 2004, he put together the Comedians of Comedy Tour, which was documented in a six-episode Comedy Central series. 

In July of 2006, his comic script "Fruit Pies!" was turned into a short film available at YouTube and MySpace. He also appeared on the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner.
