Jon Reep
Does this face look familiar? Maybe you remember Jon as the fifth season winner on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” or have seen him on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” or the half-hour special “Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep”.
If it’s not from his standup performances, then you probably recognize Jon from his appearances on HBO’s “Eastbound and Down” and ABC’s hit show “Blackish.”
He has also appeared on Dodge’s popular ad campaign, “Hemi Guy”, where Jon is known to millions as the redheaded hillbilly famous for leaning out of his rusty beater and uttering, “That thing gotta Hemi?”
You also know Jon as the redneck farmer from “Harold and Kumar: Escape Guantanamo Bay” and television host of “Are you Faster than a Redneck” on the Speed Channel. Now based in Los Angeles, Jon is one of the hardest working comics in America, performing on television, in films, and selling out clubs and theaters across the country.
His show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing and of course the one talent that separates Jon from all other comedians in the world: He’s the best redneck dancer since Elvis. www.jonreep.com
