Andrew "Dice" Clay

Known as the king of comedy in the 80’s, Andrew “Dice” Clay is proud to be one of America’s most controversial and outrageous comics.  The legendary comedian and actor has now reclaimed his comedy throne, starring to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Academy Award winning BLUE JASMINE, with Martin Scorsese and HBO in "Vinyl," a recurring role on the final season of HBO’s “Entourage, and he is getting ready to premiere season two of his hit Showtime series “DICE.”  Dice also recently landed the coveted role of 'Lorenzo' in Bradley Cooper's Warner Brothers remake of A STAR IS BORN, where he will portray Lady Gaga's father in a scene-stealing role. Addittionally, Dice is on a tour with his show

Born in Brooklyn, New York on September 29th, 1957, Dice began his career in 1978, where he auditioned at Pips, a local comedy club in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, doing comedic impressions, and then headlined there the following week as “Andrew Clay.” When he released his debut album “DICE,” the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.” During this time, Dice did a character called “The Dice Man,” that was widely popular, based on Buddy Love. Dice eventually became this character full-time in his act. In 1980, Dice moved to Los Angeles, where he was “adopted” by Mitzi Shore, owner of the famed Comedy Store. Dice’s work there led to sitcom appearances on “M*A*S*H” and “Diff’rent Strokes.” Dice later landed roles in movies such as MAKING THE GRADE (1984), PRETTY IN PINK (1986), and CASUAL SEX (1988). In 1990, Dice became the very first comic to sell out the legendary Madison Square Garden 2-nights in a row. Dice also earned the title as the only performer ever “banned for life from MTV.”
 
Dice’s other notable recent TV credits include NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice,” where he is proud to have been the first celebrity thrown off the show. He also took home first place by winning the FOX celebrity cooking competition series “My Kitchen Rules.”

"Bernie & Sid"

Bernard J. McGuirk is the executive producer of the Imus in the Morning radio program. He was born and raised in the South Bronx, New York, where he worked in his younger years as a taxi driver.

Sid Rosenberg is a radio personality and the former morning host of WMEN-640 AM.  Rosenberg is known for his controversial and sarcastic humor as a host on many radio stations including, WAXY "790 The Ticket" in Miami, where he hosted his own morning show.  He originally was paired with O.J. McDuffie, formerly a wide receiver with the Miami Dolphins; McDuffie resigned his position with the station in the summer of 2006.

Rosenberg's self-given jokingly middle name "Arthur" is a reference to former baseball player Dave Kingman. When Hall of Fame sportscaster Bob Murphy gave the lineups for the New York Mets, he would always give Kingman's name as "David Arthur Kingman"; Rosenberg continues this running gag on the Sports Guys by using Arthur as everybody's middle name.

His radio career started in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he hosted the syndicated sports radio program The Drive on Sports Fan Radio Network in the late 1990s, after starting as an Internet broadcast. In 2000, he moved to New York City to co-host WNEW-FM's turbulent morning show, the Sports Guys. A year later, he joined the Imus in the Morning program. He shared the sports broadcasting duties with Warner Wolf before becoming the full-time sports reporter. He engaged in heated half-mock, half-serious disputes with the other members of the Imus cast, leading for example to an actual boxing bout with producer Bernard McGuirk.  Several months after joining the Imus show, he became the co-host of the midday show on Imus' flagship station, WFAN. Here, his strong knowledge of sports and distinctive, high-pitched Brooklyn accent served him well. He would hold both broadcasting positions until 2005. For several years, he also hosted the radio pre-game shows for New York Giants home games.
