Emo Phillips
A quirky stand-up comedian from Downer's Grove, Illinois who won the 1985 Music Award for best comedy album, "E=mo2," released stand-up video, "Live at the Hasty Pudding Theater," and has worked in television and movies. Also famous for his coleslaw recipe and being quite handy with the ladies.
We spent our childhood watching Emo Phillips, which consequently had a major influence on our oddball sense of humor.
