Jeff Dye isn't here to play nice, he's here to wreck polite conversation and leave audiences howling. A regular on Gutfeld! and The Joe Rogan Experience, he delivers comedy that's loud, sharp, and hilariously inappropriate. He conned America on MTV's Money From Strangers, globe-hopped with legends on NBC's Better Late Than Never, and somehow kept a straight face while cracking jokes on The Tonight Show. Jeff's not chasing clout - he's chasing truth, mic in hand, and not looking back.

His hit podcast, Flagrant, co-hosted with Akaash Singh, commands a loyal audience of 5 million weekly viewers and recently crossed 1.4 billion total views on YouTube. He also co-hosts The Brilliant Idiots Podcast alongside Charlamagne tha God. These listeners come to Schulz not only for laughter but also all things culture: from theology to sports to politics. The New York Times’ David Marchese, perhaps facetiously, recently suggested he might be America’s Foremost Political Journalist. Regardless of your views, Schulz’s influence cannot be denied. Schulz has expanded his reach into film and television, with roles in Netflix’s TIRES, the remake of White Men Can’t Jump with Jack Harlow, and You People starring Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. He also appears in Underdoggs with Snoop Dogg and in the period drama The Thicket with Peter Dinklage. He recently wrapped production on Paramount’s upcoming Street Fighter film, a new take on the iconic video game, joining a star-studded cast ahead of its 2026 theatrical release. His digital-first strategy—leveraging social media and direct fan engagement—has become the blueprint for modern comedians. From his viral “Turn Your Phone” rants to his Netflix debut Schulz Saves America, Schulz has proven that bold, unfiltered comedy can dominate across platforms. Nothing is off limits for Andrew Schulz—from politics to pop culture—and at his shows, there’s only one rule: everyone gets these jokes.
