Bill Bellamy originally envisioned a career on Wall Street, majoring in economics at Rutgers University with aspirations of becoming a finance professional or a venture capitalist. However, it was his natural comedic talent, often showcased during light-hearted hosting gigs and talent shows on campus, that steered him in a different direction. As his popularity as a campus comedian grew, Bellamy found himself drawn more to the stage than the stock market.
His major turning point came when he landed a spot on Showtime at the Apollo. Known for its tough crowd, Bellamy was determined not to get booed, especially with his mother in the audience. In a high-pressure environment where even seasoned performers faced the wrath of the audience, Bellamy started his set with his strongest material and captivated the crowd, earning enough applause to be invited back. This breakthrough, bolstered by encouragement from comedian Sinbad, launched his career in comedy, proving his decision to pivot from finance to funny was right.

He’s almost 60 but has a 30ish demeanor. That’s cool. Keep your youthfulness, keeps you fresh.

@lseguy MIT and Stanford aren't Ivy League schools yet outrank several Ivy League schools academically. The term Ivy League has transformed over time to mean a school that's academically superior when that term was actually created as a way to establish a sports conference for a group of schools.

Is it me or does it look like he ran straight up out the barber chair without them finishing when Vlad called?! I would literally fight my barber if he ever gave me a hideous taper like that! That barber got his fading skills from Stevie Wonder!🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's not that maybe. Maybe a little bulk on the sides tho. Probably cuts his own hair.
