The Sklar Brothers
The pair are graduates of the University of Michigan, where they were members of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. In the summer of 1997, Jason and Randy starred in and wrote for MTV's sitcom/sketch/standup program Apt 2F. The show lasted one season, and included appearances by a plethora of comedic actors.
The Sklar brothers have also appeared in television shows such as Law & Order, Becker, Providence, The Oblongs (as conjoined twin brothers Biff and Chip Oblong), Entourage, Grey's Anatomy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (as dance marathon DJs on the episode "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off"). They also regularly appear on VH1 specials such as I Love the '80s. The Sklars have appeared in the films My Baby's Daddy, Bubble Boy, Wild Hogs and The Comebacks. Currently, the brothers write and appear on ESPN's SportsCenter in a comedic segment called "The Bracket". Randy and Jason Sklar occasionally fill in for Jim Rome on The Jim Rome Show on radio. In addition, Randy occasionally appears as a "Forum" guest on ESPN's Jim Rome Is Burning.
They co-hosted Comedy Centrals Battlebots.
They appeared on an episode of Grey's Anatomy as adult conjoined twins. Randy appeared on an episode of Take Home Chef, where his wife and chef Curtis Stone surprised him with a gourmet dinner of Beef Wellington. They are regulars on Chelsea Lately roundtable appearing multiple times. They recently appeared in the 2008 Microsoft Film: VoIP As You Are:The Legend of Dan Wilson.
The Sklars are also frequent guests on the podcasts Never Not Funny and World Football Daily. They have also appeared on "AST Radio", "Jordan, Jesse GO!" and Battleship Pretension.
The brothers played twin publicists Larry and Terry Bridge, and co-wrote with Nick Kroll, the web series "Layers," directed by Michael Blieden.[1]
The Sklar Brothers have a new web series called Back on Topps and are featured in an ad campaign by running shoe and apparel company Brooks.
Cheap Seats borrowed its format from Mystery Science Theater 3000. The cast of MST3K apparently were pleased with the show and afforded it a high honor - they appeared in the fourth season opener in their normal silouette format, making fun of the Sklar's host show bits. So far it is the only time Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy have appeared as their MST3K characters Mike Nelson, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo since MST3K was cancelled.
At a live show in New York the brothers announced they will be shooting a comedy central special in December 2009.
