Comedians are often goofballs all-around, and many have used weight gain as a source for laughs (Chris Farley, John Belushi, John Candy). They say funny things and sometimes take great pride in looking funny too! We appreciate all comedians, but especially love the ones who can rock a great body while STILL making us pee our pants. Now THAT my friends, is our definition of “the total package”.

He finds ways to fit a work out in every day, even when he’s traveling for business. His trick is to always focus on the core.
