Boaz Frankel (born Portland, Oregon, 24 May 1982) is an American television personality who hosted and co-created the television show Clips & Quips and created the video series The Un-Road Trip, slated to become a television series on Halogen TV in 2011.
He is also the curator of The Kazoo Museum in Beaufort, South Carolina and owner of one of the largest collections of kazoos in the world. Frankel also holds the Guinness World Record for the "most high-fives in an hour".
Frankel grew up in Portland, and graduated from Wilson High School in 2000. He attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 2004 with a degree in dramatic writing.
While studying at NYU Frankel co-created a late-night talk show, On The Cusp, that became the most popular program to ever air on NYU TV. In 2004, in his final year at Tisch, Boaz appeared on the Today Show's "The Intern" segment where he went on to win the top prize. Also during his senior year he became an intern on Last Call with Carson Daly. It was during his internship that Frankel heard about auditions for the WB reality show, Studio 7, in which he appeared on one episode in August 2004.
After graduating from NYU in 2004, Frankel created and hosted Clips & Quips, an offbeat entertainment talk show that aired online and on college television stations nationwide for three years. He arranged the first kazoo-sponsored TV show and taught Peter Sarsgaard to play kazoo and Sarah Silverman to play dreidel. Amongst other celebrities who appeared on the show, Frankel has interviewed Natalie Portman, Pierce Brosnan,Dame Judi Dench and Will Ferrell. In June 2007, Boaz brought Clips & Quips to an end and began development of Backstage Live, a new online entertainment talk show for Social Strata.
