James Breuer (born June 21, 1967)[1] is an American stand-up comedian, and actor.[2] He was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 1998 and starred in the film Half Baked (1998).

Career

Breuer was a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 1998, playing characters such as Joe Pesci and Goat Boy.[3] He went on to host The Jim Breuer Show after leaving SNL.[4]

Breuer regularly tours as a comedian. Footage of his 2008 tour was used in his documentary More Than Me and in his four-hour DVD program The Jim Breuer Road Journals. In September 2021, he cancelled shows at venues requiring COVID-19 vaccination in New Jersey and Michigan and has stated that he will not perform at venues with such requirements.[5][6]

In 2023, Breuer appeared as a featured speaker on the ReAwaken America Tour.[7] During one appearance, Breuer received backlash for mocking the collapse of football player Damar Hamlin; he suggested the collapse was caused by COVID-19 vaccines, echoing conspiracy theories in anti-vaccine circles.[8]

From 2005 to 2021, he lived in Chester Township, New Jersey, with his wife Dee, whom he married in 1992,[1] and their three daughters.[11] In August 2021, Breuer and his family moved to Naples, Florida, after selling their home in New Jersey.[12]

"Breuer’s uniquely dazed look combined with his goofy humor used to make his teachers at Valley Stream Central High School laugh… followed by the writing of detention slips. If he could talk to the teachers who helped him to graduation in 1985, he would give them one big fat, 'Told you so!'"
