This San Francisco-raised comedian has been inching toward the spotlight for more than a decade now, winning a standup award in 2004 that translated into two 2008 TV gigs, Welcome to the Captain and Gary Unmarried. But his biggest breaks came in 2011 and 2013, respectively, when he scored a correspondent position on The Daily Show and a supporting role on NBC’s About a Boy. ALSO: Saturday, Oct. 10 (8 & 10:30 pm)
