Despite being a shlub from Jersey, Jeffrey Ross has accomplished a lot in his life. He's done everything from roasting almost dead guys at the Friars Club, to playing a dead guy on a 2003 episode of the smash hit TV show, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000). As a stand-up comic, Jeff has appeared on dozens of TV shows including "Late Show with David Letterman" (1993), "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (2003), "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (1992), "The View" (2001), "Real Time with Bill Maher" (2003), "Celebrity Poker Showdown" (2003), "Dinner for Five" (2001), "Pet Star" (2003) "Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon" (1966).
He recently directed his first film, 'Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie (2005)' which chronicles his week-long trip entertaining U.S. soldiers stationed around Iraq's Sunni Triangle. The film has appeared at numerous festivals and won an honorable mention during the Hampton's International Film Festival's prestigious Films of Conflict and Resolution program.
His blistering performances at celebrity roasts for the likes of Hugh M. Hefner, Donald Trump, Jerry Stiller, Drew Carey, 'Shaquille O'Neal', New York Yankee's manager Joe Torre, Kelsey Grammer, and Rob Reiner, inspired [i]New York Magazine[/i] to crown him The Meanest Man in Comedy.
Besides being a former board member of the Friars Club, Jeff has produced numerous celebrity roasts for Comedy Central and executive produced and hosted the highly rated and hilarious re-imagination of the roasts, MTV Bash: Carson Daly (2003) (TV) featuring stars Madonna, Eminem, Britney Spears, 'Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs', Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Andy Dick, Kid Rock, and Nelly bashing the guest of honor for charity.
In addition to Jeff's 2003 dramatic turn on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000) he has appeared on "Six Feet Under" (2001) and in the films, Stuck on You (2003), Along Came Polly (2004), National Security (2003) and The Aristocrats (2005).
Jeff has also written for some cool shows including the MTV Video Music Awards for hosts Jamie Foxx and Chris Rock and The Oscars for host Billy Crystal. He's also helped write the first season of "The Man Show" (1999) on Comedy Central and punches up movies for big shots like The Farrelley Brothers and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
