About Don:

Don Jamieson is a stand-up comedian and the co-host of VH1 Classic’s hit heavy metal talk show series, “That Metal Show.” The program is a round-table talk show where legends of rock hang out and discuss their past and current projects in front of a live studio audience full of metal maniacs. Rolling Stone Magazine just dubbed “That Metal Show” one of the 50 Best Reasons To Watch TV.

Amongst his many accomplishments, Jamieson’s new CD “Live and Hilarious” on Metal Blade Records is currently Top 20 on iTunes comedy charts and is in the top 10 on the Billboard charts. He is also an “Emmy Award-Winner” for his work on HBO’s “Inside The NFL.” Jamieson and long-time comedy partner, Jim Florentine, lent their brand of humor to the
popular sports show. They wrote, produced and performed sports-themed comedy sketches.

The two have also collaborated on the hidden-camera DVD and ComedyCentral.com series, “Meet The Creeps” as well as a series of prank call CD’s, “Terrorizing Telemarketers,” which get a lot of airplay on the Howard Stern Radio Show. He has been a featured “Roaster” on Howard’s “Staff Roasts” (he is also a roast joke writer for the country’s best celebrity roaster, Lisa Lampanelli) and has lent his voice to MTV2’s “Crank Yankers.” He is also a regular on HLN’s Joy Behar Show and has appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Red Eye.”

His stand-up act brings his everyday take on life, the hip, the cool and the tragically sublime into the spotlight. Besides performing at clubs in New York City, he tears it up at clubs and theatres all over the country.

For the last four years, he has been the regular opener for Andrew Dice Clay. His reputation as one of New York City’s top comics was cemented when he was asked to perform live on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Jamieson started his career as one of the young and talented comedy minds at MTV helping to launch the careers of comics like Jon Stewart, Kevin James, Pauly Shore (sorry) and Tom Green. Unbeknownst to many, Jamieson was spending his nights on the local comedy scene developing his own comic style.

Making the transition from comedian to television host isn’t easy for most. He has hosted his own series, OLN’s “Beach Ambush” and is currently in production for the ninth season of “That Metal Show.”
