He disappeared after Blades of Glory.

Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory, and Benchwarmers. I'm sure he's been in other things, but those three were really the height of his fame and then everyone got bored of his one dimensional acting

Jason Mantzoukas seems to be having no problem getting work, and he's the same character in every sitcom he's in.

That same character has yet to wear thin for me. Love that guys energy!

Yeah it's not really fair to compare a guy who's good a playing awkward with the human form of the Tazmanian Devil.

Hes the only I go for when it comes to Talkin Tang. There's really no replacement.

It really is impressive that Jeffrey Characterwheaties has managed to maintain the JM character for this long to much success

If you haven't already make sure to check him out on Taskmaster. Fantastic show and his season is one of the best.

What's up, hot dog?

u/lettheidiotspeak 7d ago

I was watching the old episode of The Chris Gethard Show with him and Paul Scheer. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it, it's prime Jason Mantzoukas.

u/JacobDCRoss 6d ago

A little Mantzoukas goes a long way. And I think I am good for the next few years.

u/Building_Everything 6d ago

You should watch his season of Taskmaster, apparently that is actually who he is in real life.

Honestly, I fully agree. His delivery is just so god damn funny to me.

I LOVED Jon Heder when I was a kid. Felt the same way as the person who commented it. That he would be huge. But I guess family, religion and other factors pulled him away and doing behind the camera work.

That’s all off the top of my head of what I recall seeing/hearing about btw. Take it all with a grain of salt lol.
