No Headliners TV Show Taping

with Cuzin Corn , John Ovalles , JJ Mattise , Crenshaw , Whitney Chanel , Mike Logan , Desi Johnson , Justin Ramos , Greg Kritikos and Jamie Roberts

The time has come for the nation to experience what true talent is when it comes to comedy. This will be history in the making when No Headliners launches in early 2024. Network television has never experienced a show that is stocked with rising stars “bringing the funny” in their own, raw but clean way. Cancel those dinner reservations and be careful not to choke on that pizza you just ordered while watching the funniest half an hour on network television. Check your local listings for show times.

No Headliners is the assembly line that will produce the next big comedy stars that situation comedies can be built around. With stand-up comedy being responsible for launching the careers of Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, and Ray Romano, No Headliners will be a talent pool for TV executives, and casting directors and will allow today’s up-and-coming comics to get exposure on a national level that only network TV can provide.

The name No Headliners expresses the fact that all participating comedians has never been featured as a headliner at a major comedy club, on a television show, or has a contract deal with any TV network. With the comedy scene being so saturated with talent from all walks of life, No Headliners will focus on only the best of those diamonds in the rough. Each show will feature three comedians with a host. The show will also have an interactive website where viewers can read more about the comedians, and get information about obtaining tickets to the show and who will be featured in the shows to come. In a world filled with so many wonderful things that life has to offer we are saturated instead with only the ills of our current society and global chaos. Through comedy, we hope to offer a lighter side of life by taking the seriousness of our mundane lives and showing you how silly yet inspiring the human race can be. We want to take half an hour and make everyone laugh at his or her own behavior.

Jamie Roberts

Born in Brooklyn and raised in Amityville, New York, Jamie gained an interest in comedy after being crowned ‘Funniest Person’ by his senior class in High School. It was then that he realized that comedy was where he belonged and hit the pavement convincing audiences one joke at a time. His first major win came at Stand Up NY, where he convinced the judges and won his next title, ‘Funniest Person from the Suburbs’. He continued pushing forward, making strides in the comedic world with performances in New York City Tri-state area, Hollywood and Atlanta. Jamie broke barriers by becoming the first non-Latino to produce the Latino Laughter Comedy Show at the New York Comedy Club. In addition to producing the show, he also hosted it each week. This experience opened the door to him producing a string of independent shows in the New York Tri-State area, as well as a national college tour titled “One Night Stand Comedy Tour”. The tour supported and educated students about safe sex through stand up comedy.

Since then, he’s wowed hundreds of audiences and has been featured on MTV, Tidal, XM Radio, The Grio, The Root and New York’s 770 WABC Radio. He added actor to his resume with roles in such popular shows and movies as NBC’s Law & Order and HBO’s Paterno, along with numerous commercials. He was even a featured cast member (along with his girlfriend) on the FYI Network’s A Question of Love and is now in production for their own follow up show. Presently, Jamie is the Executive Producer and host of New York’s longest running Sunday show, Sunday Night Live. He is also the Founder and Executive Director of Comedy With A Purpose, a business in which he uses comedy to address some serious social matters.

There’s no stage too big and no feat unconquerable in Jamie Roberts’ world. With his clean-cut good looks, insatiable charm, and cutting edge comedy, he’s certainly the one to watch for.
