Greg Giraldo has appeared countless times on Lewis Black's Root of All Evil, Colin Quinn's short-lived Comedy Central series Tough Crowd and every notable show on the late-night circuit. He has released stand-up specials and a full-length comedy album. He's even among the most brutal of Comedy Central's notorious celebrity-roasters. The last thing you might expect to hear about this member of cable television's semi-elite stable of potty-mouthed comics is that he's an Ivy League man--but he is. Giraldo received his undergraduate degree from Columbia and graduated with flying colors from Harvard Law School. For all the outrageous vulgarities and juvenile references, a discernable degree of social awareness and thoughtfulness exists in Giraldo's material. Sure, you might hear a--ahem--handful of dick jokes in his routine, but you'll likely walk away having learned a little something as well. Even from the dick jokes.
