Dave Anthony

Dave Anthony is an American comedian, writer, actor and host of the Dollop, an American history podcast.

Originally the Dollop was just Anthony reading a story alone. He rebooted the podcast with the "Cliven Bundy" episode where he read the story to Gareth Reynolds and the two improvised. The original incarnation of the Dollop is unavailable for download.

Anthony is the executive story editor on the IFC series Maron and portrays a fictionalized version of himself on the show. He was nominated for a Writes Guild of America Award for his writing on Maron in 2016. His acting work includes bit roles on Boston Legal (2005), Las Vegas (2006), Entourage (2009), The Office (2011), Arrested Development (2013), and Veep (2016).

Anthony hosted a podcast called Walking the Room with comedian and writer Greg Behrendt which folded in 2014.

Anthony was born in Marin County and started his comedy career in San Francisco. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Heather and his son Finn, who (according to Dave) is a baseball phenom.
