Before Mike & Molly, Gardell co-starred in the critically acclaimed television series "Lucky." His other television credits include "Yes Dear" and "Judging Amy," "My Name is Earl," "The Practice," "Monk" and "Gary the Rat." Mike & Molly continues to air in syndication to this day. In 2016 he received a daytime Emmy nomination as best gameshow host for Monopoly Millionaires Club.

He made his major motion picture debut alongside Anthony Quinn and Sylvester Stallone in "Avenging Angelo," and had a memorable scene with Billy Bob Thornton in the Cohen Brother's film "Bad Santa." He also appeared in "You, Me & Dupree."

As a standup, Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small-town lounge, military base and comedy club along the way. His comedy act took him to Los Angeles where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, allowed him to grow consistently in both arenas. His stand-up show is a powerhouse. His grounded, down-to-earth point of view strikes a strong chord with American audiences. Stories about his rough childhood, wild adolescence and new family life are executed with the skill of a master craftsman.

His comedy specials, "Billy Gardell: Halftime," premiered on Comedy Central and "Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs" premiered on Showtime.
