The Gloucester County native
attributes his rise in comedy due
to his Jersey upbringing and his
years working as a football and
wrestling coach. “In Jersey, we
are the butts of so many jokes
that if you ain’t got a sense of humor you’ve got to leave. It’s Jersey. There’s not many people that
live in New Jersey that couldn’t
have their own sitcom. We’re very
American people. The more we
are different, the more we are the
same. But we’re tough skinned
people. We bust each other’s
chops.”
Graham has also had to build a
thick skin due to an ever changing
weight problem. In high school,
he weighed 285 pounds by
eighth grade and played football.
He also got into wrestling and remarkably lost over 100 pounds
and wrestled at 148 pounds
as a sophomore. After getting
married, he began to eat again
and ballooned up to nearly 400
pounds. Health problems and
