It’s something that definitely comes across in his comedy (“…a little more Cosby, a little les s Def Jam”). Carlos’ TV appearances include a recurring role on The Colbert Report where he appears as Allan, Steven’s long-suffering black friend. He’s also made appearances on Spike TV, VH-1, FOX, and numerous national commercials for Pepsi, AOL, Microsoft, and Disney
Jordan was nominated Best Male Comic at the ECNY awards and was a finalist in NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity showcase. He’s been a contributing writer for both Bar Mitzvah Disco (Crown) and Esquire Magazine. He also maintains a popular blog— The Comedy Cubby: Nice & Preppy (jordancarlos.blogspot.ocm).
