Dave Brenner has had a remarkable career. Beginning
with his debut national television appearance on The Tonight
Show, he has continued to be the most frequent talk show
guest of any entertainer. He has filmed four HBO Specials
including, David Brenner: Back With A Vengeance which
was one of HBO's highest rated specials, prompting The
Hollywood Reporter to say, "He's edgier and more
insightful in his skewering of popular culture than ever
before …"
Dave Brenner wasn't always in front of the camera. Before
stepping on stage, he enjoyed a successful career as the
writer/producer/director of 115 television documentaries
and headed the distinguished documentary departments of
both Westinghouse Broadcasting and Metromedia Broadcasting.
His documentary work earned him a total of nearly thirty
awards and citations including an Emmy.
This multi-talented man began as a kid in the poor sections
of South and West Philadelphia where he was a gang leader
who used humor as a powerful weapon and as a negotiating
tool. From fourth grade through high school, Dave Brenner
was elected class president, as well as class comedian.
He attended Temple University where, in spite of being
funny, he graduated with honors, majoring in mass communications. |
