Bradley "Brad" Sherwood (born November 24, 1964) is an American actor and comedian. He has worked in entertainment as an actor, comedian, writer, and producer.
Sherwood was born in Chicago, Illinois and later grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He began acting at the age of eight. He attended Santa Fe Preparatory School and graduated from Santa Fe High School. He went on to graduate from Wright State University with a BFA in Acting.
His first acting job was his recurring role on six episodes of L.A. Law as Jill Eikenberry's nanny.
In 1994-1995, Brad was a cast member on the syndicated, sketch-comedy series The Newz.
In 1992, Sherwood became a recurring performer on three seasons of the British version of the award-winning improvisational comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?. He also starred on all eight seasons of the American, Emmy nominated version of Whose Line on ABC.
He hosted The Dating Game from 1997-98, and The Big Moment in 1999, and has guest hosted Talk Soup.
He was a producer and performer on Drew Carey's Green Screen Show in 2005.
Brad was a regular panelist on To Tell The Truth, Jury Duty, and Hollywood Squares, and has made over one hundred appearances in sketches on the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the last fifteen years.
He regularly appears on numerous VH-1 series, including I Love The 70's, I Love The 80's, I Love The 90's, 100 One Hit Wonders of The 80's, 100 Greatest Rock Ballads, I Love Toys, and Greatest Game Show Moments.
He has been a guest on Larry King Live and a regular panelist on Chelsea Lately, starring Chelsea Handler.
Brad has teamed up with Colin Mochrie to tour the United States and Canada performing in a critically acclaimed, two-man improv show entitled An Evening With Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood. They have been performing their two-man show since 2004.
On March 28, 2007, Sherwood and Mochrie were hired by the United States Congress to perform at the Congressional Radio and Television Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C.. During their performance, Karl Rove participated in an improvised rap performance, during which the dancing Rove shouted the now infamous refrain "I'm MC Rove!" throughout the song. The "Capitol spectacle" became a media frenzy and a viral video on YouTube with millions of hits, and even ended up in the series finale of The Sopranos.
Brad Sherwood became engaged in 2006, and married long term partner Shauna in February 2007.[1]
He was the announcer on GSN's revival of the classic game show The Newlywed Game, before the show moved back to California.
On the August 25, 2009 episode of Flipping Out, Brad and his wife appeared as clients of Jeffrey Lewis. Based on this show, we learn Brad and his wife like to call sex "afternoon delight". Brad is also a control freak, more so than Jeff Lewis, and in the reality show, Brad and his wife show themselves to be not-so-funny control freaks.
