Jimmy Pardo

Jimmy Pardo from "Comedy Central Presents..." is featured at The Helium Comedy Club.

There are so many things that make Jimmy Pardo damn funny - ranging from lots of sharp, inventive material to being incredibly quick-on-his-feet and deft when improvising -- but you could argue that the most singular, if not biggest weapon in his comedy arsenal is "The Take." No matter what the context or setting -- whether he's hosting TV shows like "National Lampoon's Funny Money" on the Game Show Network, performing stand-up comedy on "The Tonight Show," starring in his own half-hour special on Comedy Central or countless other TV appearances, Pardo's work is not only highlighted by a wonderfully expressive mug, but you could be excused for thinking he invented The Deadpan Expression, The Arched-Eyebrow Look Of Disdain, or the Grin of Real (or Feigned) Surprise, among others. We need to point out that, while some of these facial masterpieces are presented in response to things a contestant, guest or audience member has said, sometimes Pardo is reacting to things he himself says!
