MARIO CANTONE & JERRY DIXON

Mario Cantone is a popular comedian who appears regularly on Comedy Central. He is known for his energetic style and impersonations of various characters. He started his career by hosting a children’s TV show but he also performs in stand-up concerts. He derives much of his comedy acts from his Italian-American family.

He shared that his father moved their family to get them away from relatives who were compulsive gamblers. This is only understandable because gambling can lead to ruined credit scores, loans, and other financial problems. In October 2011, he tied the knot with Broadway director Jerry Dixon. They initially met in 1991 and have been together for 20 years.
