| Jimmy Goson |
Jimmy Goson is one of the very few comedians in the United States of Lebanese heritage. Originally from Akron, Ohio, Jimmy has performed at comedy clubs such as the Improv and Comedy Store across the country and delighted audiences with stories of his family upbringing that appeals to all ages.
Jimmy has performed for many charities such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Retinitis Pigmentosa, numerous organizations and business conferences. One of his most memorable performances was at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC with the late Danny Thomas. Jimmy was then asked to return to be the Master of Ceremonies for the same event, the following year.
The Statue of Liberty Foundation also included Jimmy as Master of Ceremonies, with Casey Kasem, Michael Ansara and the late Vic Tayback, all of Lebanese heritage.
Jimmy was also the co-host of AATV in Los Angeles, for over 10 years. Jimmy's Italian heritage does not go unnoticed. It is an interesting mediteranean blend for his comedic storytelling. Jimmy lives in Aliso Viejo, CA with this wife Carole and daughters Josie and Jillian but is still funny.
