Bil Dwyer
SAG/AFTRA
Hailing from Chicago, IL, Bil Dwyer, like many hearty Midwesterners, is a very private person and likes to keep things to himself. Unlike many hearty Midwesterners, he is forced to compose bios of himself written in the third person. Bil's career has covered many facets of show business, from performing to writing to commercial voiceover work.
Bil is an accomplished standup comic, who has allowed his emotional walls to crumble and has opened himself up on such shows as "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," NBC's "Late Friday," "The Martin Short Show" and his very own half hour stand-up special "Comedy Central Presents: Bil Dwyer." His takes on marriage, kids and family are hip and sardonic, and yet beneath lies a certain odd sweetness.
Besides appearing on great television shows like "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Ally McBeal," Bil has also been in such forgettable films as "Ski School 2," "The Bogus Witch Project," and "What Planet are You From?." A regular commentator on various cable shows, he is most often recognized for his work on VH1's highly-rated "I Love the..." series. Writing with sitcom star/television producer Christopher Titus, Bil co-created a show based on his stand-up comedy called "Back After This" for Sony Pictures Television.
Bil has hosted "The Ultimate Fan League" for Fox Sports Net and the long-running Comedy Central hit "BattleBots," which can now be seen in England, Canada, and China (in case you ever get over there). Bil was recently the host of PAX-TV's "Dirty Rotten Cheaters," co-host of GSN's "Extreme Dodgeball" and mock game show host, Bert Van Styles on MTV's hit, "The 70's House."
Currently, Bil was seen as the host of GSN's all new version of the game show classic "I've Got a Secret" and on Season 4 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing." As for why he did the competition, Bil says "Who doesn't like to be judged? You ever see how happy those dogs are at the Westminster Kennel Club show? That’s me- the grinning Pomeranian."
