Known for finding humor in telling real-life stories, Sinbad's comedy is larger than life, energetic and spontaneous. His television career began with stand-up appearances on "Star Search." Soon after, he landed a guest-starring role on NBC's hit series, "The Cosby Show," which spun-off into a starring role on "A Different World." He later became the star of his own self-titled, critically-acclaimed series, "The Sinbad Show," co-starring Salma Hayek, which earned him a nomination for "Favorite Television Actor" at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards. Other television appearances include "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Cosby," "Moesha," "Roc," "Slacker Cats" and hosting gigs on "It's Showtime at the Apollo" and "Soul Train." In addition to his success on the small screen, Sinbad's film credits include "Necessary Roughness" opposite Scott Bakula, "Coneheads" with Dan Aykroyd, "Houseguest" opposite Phil Hartman, "First Kid" and "Jingle All The Way" opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, winning a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for "Favorite Supporting Actor � Family." His stand-up specials include "Sinbad: Brain Damaged," "Sinbad: Afros and Bellbottoms," "Sinbad: Son of a Preacher Man" and "Sinbad: Nuthin' but the Funk."
