Pete Holmes

Pete Holmes is just one of those guys you want to see succeed. His short films are clever. His appearances on VH-1 don’t grate. His onstage presence is relaxed, natural, and almost immediately likable. And above all, his comedy is smart and funny. Though his most visible—or invisible, as the case might be—job is as the voice of the E-Trade baby, Holmes is perhaps best known in comedy circles for his podcast, You Made It Weird, which features the comedian riffing with and interviewing other notable stand-ups, from Doug Benson to Sarah Silverman. Impregnated With Wonder, Holmes’ 2011 stand-up record, was named one of the year’s best by The A.V. Club.
