Photo Gallery » A product of a Huxtable-like upbringing, Jordan Carlos,
is a Brooklyn-based stand up comic brought up on the
mean streets of suburban North Dallas where he was
the only black kid in class and at all the Bar Mitzvahs.
He’s appeared most notably as Stephen Colbert’s black
friend “Alan” on the Colbert Report, and performed his
stand up on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham,” The Montreal
“Just for Laughs” Comedy, and various New York Comedy Festivals.
His 2-man stand-up, storytelling, sketch show, The Triple S, is being presented at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in both Los Angeles and New York City. Film appearances include 2009’s Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais, The Rebound with Catherine Zeta Jones, and will appear this fall in My Own Love Song with Renee Zellwegger and Forest Whitaker. Jordan also played Kenny Mayne’s PA “Jordan” on ESPN.com’s wildly successful Mayne Street.
