Chris O’Neill & Paul Valenti hail from Connecticut and formed The Chris and Paul Show back in 2000, then moved together to a 16’ x 8’ studio apartment in NYC. The duo were most recently finalists on NBC’s inaugural season of “Bring the Funny.”  Kenan Thompson described Chris & Paul as: “Super funny.  Not like anything I’ve seen before. You guys are so imaginative; the way you pick premises it seems like two kids playing. So joyous and infectious.  So engaging and suck people in.”  Judge Chrissy Teigen said: “Your physical comedy is amazing.  It’s something I haven’t seen before.  How were you guys not birthed from the same womb?   You are so wonderful together it’s a godsend you found each other.” Judge Jeff Foxworthy was quoted as saying:  “You got all these laughs without saying a word and that’s a special skill set.  I couldn’t stop laughing, I was beating the table, and that’s what BTF is all about.”
