This week on Center Stage: Todd Glass! Solidly ensconced in the 30-40 demographic, comedian Todd Glass may now be considered ineligible to be labeled a wunderkind — but he certainly was one, having launched his career in comedy at age 16. Since that precocious start, the Philadelphia native has developed into a polished performer with a bent for inventive material that often mocks the conventions of standup.

Todd has amassed an impressive list of credits. He was one of the house finalists in "Last Comic Standing 2" and "Last Comic Standing 3: Battle of the Best" and had guest appearances on ABC's "Home Improvement," NBC's "Friends," and HBO's "Mr. Show." Todd has also become a veritable fixture on Comedy Central, headlining his own half-hour standup special "Comedy Central Presents: Todd Glass." His television appearances include performances on "The Sarah Silverman Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "Showbiz Show with David Spade," "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn," and "Politically Incorrect."

Todd is no stranger to working with talent. In addition to touring with David Spade, Todd has performed with Jack Black and Tenacious D. His live performances (including appearances at the famed 2008 Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival) have generated rave reviews from major publications.
