    James Breuer (born June 21, 1967)[1] is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 1998 and starred in the film Half Baked (1998).

    Career

    Breuer was a member of the cast of

    Goat Boy.[2] Breuer went on to host The Jim Breuer Show after leaving SNL.[3]

    Breuer regularly tours as a comedian. Footage of his 2008 tour was used in his documentary More Than Me and in his 4-hour DVD program The Jim Breuer Road Journals. In September 2021, he cancelled shows at venues requiring COVID-19 vaccination in New Jersey and Michigan and has stated that he will not perform at venues with such requirements.[4][5]

    In 2023, Breuer appeared as a featured speaker on the ReAwaken America Tour.[6] During one appearance, Breuer received backlash for mocking the collapse of football player Damar Hamlin; he suggested the collapse was caused by COVID-19 vaccines, echoing conspiracy theories in anti-vaccine circles.[7]

    Breuer was born in Valley Stream, New York,[1][8] and graduated in 1985 from Valley Stream Central High School.[9]

    From 2005 to 2021, he lived in Chester Township, New Jersey, with his wife Dee, whom he married in 1992,[1] and their three daughters.[10] In August 2021, Breuer and his family moved to Naples, Florida after selling their home in New Jersey.[11]

    He describes himself as a "superfan" of the New York Mets.[12]
