Eddie Gossling

Eddie Gossling is an American stand-up comedian residing in Los Angeles, California. He is known for his absurd humor and his voice work in Disney's motion picture The Wild. He is married to fellow stand-up comedian Megan Mooney.

Gossling made his Network Television debut in February 2004 on ABC’s late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and can be seen in his own half-hour comedy special as Comedy Central Presents Eddie Gossling. His special in 2005 was voted the number 4 best special ever produced by Comedy Central in the Stand-up Stand Off.

Gossling was born in Johnson City, NY, in 1970 while his father, Edward Haines Gossling III, was away at pilot training in the Air Force. He lived in New York City before moving to Los Angeles, CA. Gossling has a younger brother Eric, who lives in Tampa Florida. His father retired from the Air Force in San Antonio after 30 years of service, mostly as a B-52 bomber pilot. Gossling’s mother, Sandra, was a teacher the bases they were stationed at. After his father’s retirement, his parents also moved to Tampa, FL.

Gossling's brother, Eric, once threw a Chinese star at him in retaliation for hyper-extending his knee during a pickup basketball game when they were children. Luckily, Gossling was wearing a thick winter jacket.

Gossling attended four different high schools growing up, due to his father's job in the Air Force. He eventually graduated from Airline High School in Bossier City, LA. Gossling claims that traveling from city to city growing up was the best thing that could have happened to prepare for him for his current job.

Gossling's favorite comics to watch growing up were Steve Martin, Albert Brooks, Bob Newhart, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Sam Kinison.
