One Comedian, Dozens of Voices
Matt Friend’s rise feels like a fast break that keeps building speed. His first spark came with Austin Powers, but now his calling card is a sharp Howard Stern impression woven into standup that balances substance with silliness.

Friend dreams big, aiming to host award shows, land more acting roles, and one day become his generation’s version of Kimmel. For now, his only challenge is figuring out Dan’s voice.
