DAVID BRENNER
David Brenner is probably best known for his guest-hosting and his appearances on “The Tonight Show,” as well as the host of his own show, “Nightlife.” He is currently hosting “The David Brenner Show” on the Westwood One Entertainment radio network, where he entertains his audience with a variety of guests that range from politicians to comedians.
Before stepping in front of the camera, Brenner enjoyed a successful career behind the camera as the writer/producer/director of 115 documentary films and headed the distinguished documentary departments of both Westinghouse Broadcasting and Metromedia Broadcasting. His work earned him a total of nearly thirty industry awards, including an Emmy Award. In 1985, he was honored by the Broadcast Pioneers as Man of the Year for his contributions to the documentary field. Brenner then left documentary work to begin a new career. He performed stand-up comedy in small, New York clubs.
Then, just short of eighteen months later, Brenner made his debut on “The Tonight Show,” the appearance that launched his career. In 1983, Brenner added another dimension to his career by writing his first book, “Soft Pretzels With Mustard,” and the success from the first book inspired the publisher to sign Brenner to a multiple book deal.
His second book,... “Revenge Is the Best Exercise,” is a hilarious and light-hearted look into our health conscious society. His third book, “Nobody Ever Sees You Eat Tuna Fish,” was written in response to the demand for more stories and anecdotes about his multi-dimensional life. Brenner’s latest book, “If God Wanted Us to Travel…,” is a humorous look at all aspects of travel. Another project during 1990 was Brenner’s “The I Hate To Work Out Workout Video.”
In September 1989, Brenner starred in his own one-man show on Broadway, “The Laughs and Times of David Brenner,” which was a smashing success with both audiences and critics. Over his career, Brenner has been honored by the American Guild of Variety Artists as “Male Comedy Star of the Year,” and he was awarded “Best Comedian Headliner- Atlantic City” and “College Comedian of the Year” in the same year. Recently, Brenner was appointed Honorary President of the Children’s Rights Council, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. that works to help children of separation and divorce.
