Special Event: Bill Bellamy
Known For: "Def Comedy Jam" & "How To Be A Player"
Watching veteran comic Bill Bellamy perform is getting a glimpse into what makes this man tick. With an effortlessly smooth approach, Bellamy discusses topics and themes that we've heard a thousand times before (like sex and relationships) but with his unique, hilariously raunchy point of view. We wouldn't expect anything less from the man who coined the phrase "booty call."

Using his experiences growing up in Newark, Bill Bellamy started doing stand-up while he was a student at Rutgers University. Bellamy quickly discovered how much he enjoyed making people laugh, and began honing his skills at small comedy clubs around the country and was soon making waves in the New York clubs like The Improv, The Comic Strip, and at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.
Two short years later, Bellamy earned a spot on HBO’s DEF COMEDY JAM where he notoriously coined the phrase “Booty Call.” The now famous late-night rendez-vous moniker became the name for his first comedy special for Showtime; “Booty Call” and it was instantly one of the network’s top-rated specials. On the heels of the success of that special, and in the years following, Bellamy became a staple on MTV as one of the first “VJs” on the network. He hosted several of their programming blocks, including MTV JAMS and MTV BEACH HOUSE, while interviewing everyone from the late Kurt Cobain to Janet Jackson.
