Chris D’Elia Facts
- Born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey, he had completed his high schooling in Los Angeles as his family had moved there when he was 12 years old. While he was still in high school, he had been selected to play the character of Luke Sarison in a couple of episodes of the medical drama TV series Chicago Hope (1996–1997).
- Between this and 2004, he had had only one other acting role, and during this downtime, he had written several scripts and material for stand-up comedy. He had decided to seriously pursue a stand-up comedy career in 2005.
- He affectionately refers to the listeners of his Congratulations with Chris D’Elia podcast as ‘Babies’.
- As of December 2020, all 4 of his stand-up comedy specials – White Male Black Comic (2013), Incorrigible (2015), Man On Fire (2017), and No Pain (2020) – were directed by his father Bill D’Elia.
- In an April 2018 episode of his podcast, he had imitated rapper Eminem and praised him as one of the greatest rappers of all time. His work was received positively by fans which led him to perform the imitation twice more – in September 2018 (in his car) and January 2019 (in his garage). In May 2019, rapper Logic‘s single titled Homicide, featuring Eminem, had included the audio clip from Chris’ car video. Chris was then included in a pivotal role in the music video of the song.
- In March 2021, a woman sued him for allegedly violating federal child s*xual exploitation laws. However, Chris denied all the allegations.
