Extremely talented and hilarious this quick-witted funnyman began his stint in the entertainment industry at the age of six as a star in a national television commercial for Mattel's Tuff Stuff Toys. Today his resume ranges across several sectors of the industry with more than 30 television commercials nine feature films several television show appearances a published book and numerous nationwide comedy tours. If Spencer looks familiar it's probably because you may have seen his work.

    He has two comedy specials on Showtime. One he executive produced and hosted entitled “Chris Spencer's Minority Report ” and the other is his one-man show entitled “Chris Spencer...the Other Chris.” He has also performed on Lopez Tonight Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Def Comedy Jam to name a few. Additionally Spencer is currently one of the hottest comedic writers and producers in Hollywood. VH1 Comedy Central and HBO have all used his talents to springboard many of their latest projects. Comic talents such as Will Smith P. Diddy Damon Wayans and Cedric the Entertainer all call on his comedic talents when it's time to rewrite their act special or television/film script.

    Spencer currently serves as creator and executive producer of the hit BET show “The Real Husbands of Hollywood” starring Kevin Hart. Notable writer/producer projects also include MTV’s Wild ‘N Out Jamie Foxx’s The After Party The ESPY Awards MTV Video Music Awards BET Hip Hop Awards Soul Train Awards and all comedy specials for Jamie Foxx.
