Ralphie May gained notice after the success of the first season of NBC's hit reality series, "Last Comic Standing," when America thought he was robbed of the winner's title.

Ralphie rails about the Hollywood bias against overweight people, "It isn't a fat joke?it's a prejudice joke." In his act, he talks about the time he auditioned for the role of a fat person, only to be told he was too overweight. "Too fat to play fat?" And he describes the time he did a showcase for one of the late-night talk shows and they told him he was the best comic of the bunch

Most recently, Ralphie participated in VH1's first season of "Celebrity Fit Club". At the beginning of "Celebrity Fit Club", he weighed in at 481 pounds and has since dropped to about 400 pounds.
