Paul Mercurio’s talent for comedy was first utilized by Jay Leno when he was hired to write monologues for The Tonight Show. However, unlike a lot of other comedians, Paul had a really good job before going into comedy.

After graduating with a law degree from Georgetown Law School, Paul began working as a lawyer and investment banker on Wall Street. That's where Leno discovered Mercurio and encouraged him to give up the high pressure world of stocks and bonds for a life of brick-wall backdrops and heckling audiences. So far, the move has turned out to be a good one.

Along with a promising standup career, Paul has become an Emmy Award winning writer for Comedy Central's The Daily Show and makes regular appearances on MSNBC and FOX News as a political satirist.
