WALL STREET
WAS THE
OPENING ACT.
Paul started out as a Wall Street lawyer and investment banker. Then he began writing jokes for Jay Leno. The double life eventually gave way to a full-time life in comedy.
Today, his work spans stand-up, Emmy- and Peabody-winning comedy, television, acting, and conversations with everyone from Paul McCartney to the person in the front row.
Different stages. Same curiosity about what makes people tick.
