Comedian, actor, and TV personality Bill Bellamy launched his stand-up career while attending Rutgers University, drawing inspiration from his upbringing in Newark, New Jersey. Quickly gaining traction, he performed at legendary comedy clubs like The Improv and The Comedy Store. His big break came on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, where he famously coined the term “Booty Call,” later the title of his hit Showtime special.
Bellamy became a household name as an MTV VJ, hosting popular shows like MTV Jams and MTV Beach House, and interviewing stars from Kurt Cobain to Janet Jackson. He went on to headline his own series, The Bill Bellamy Show, and starred in the sitcom Mr. Box Office. His TV credits include Meet the Browns, Castle, Royal Pains, White Collar, and Last Comic Standing.
On the big screen, Bellamy starred in films like Love Jones, How to Be a Player, The Brothers, and Any Given Sunday. He continued his stand-up success with Showtime specials Crazy Sexy Dirty and Ladies Night Out, and toured nationwide with The Standing Ovation Tour and Shaq’s All Star Comedy Jam.
Bellamy has also been a frequent TV host and guest, appearing on The Rachael Ray Show, Access Hollywood Live, Entertainment Tonight, and Let’s Ask America. In 2018, he had a recurring role on HBO’s Insecure, and most recently appeared in the thriller A Dark Foe. He is currently starring in the ABC pilot Nana alongside Katey Sagal. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Bellamy remains rooted in his first love: stand-up comedy.
