Tom Papa From FOX's BOOM

Nearly every high stakes television cop show has dealt with a boom being defused. We've stayed up watching late night news. Now FOX is bringing the BOOM to prime time. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Tom Papa. With more than 20 years as a stand-up comedian, Tom Papa has found success in film, television and radio, as well as on the live stage. Papa currently can be seen alongside Clive Owen in Steven Soderbergh’s cable series “The Knick.” He was featured alongside Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in Soderbergh’s Emmy Award-winning 2013 cable film “Behind the Candelabra.” Personally chosen by Jerry Seinfeld, Papa hosted the series “The Marriage Ref.” He also has been seen on “Inside Amy Schumer”; in a recurring role opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus on “The New Adventures of Old Christine”; and starring in his own series, “Come to Papa.” Papa starred opposite Matt Damon in Soderbergh’s 2009 feature film “The Informant,” and opposite Paul Giamatti in Rob Zombie’s animated feature, “The Haunted World of El Superbeasto,” as the voice of “El Superbeasto.” He appeared in the movies “Top Five,” “Analyze That” and “Comedian.” He also had a voiceover role and was a writer on Seinfeld’s animated feature, “Bee Movie.” His first one-hour special, “Tom Papa Live in New York City,” premiered in January of 2012.
