Bailey also has hosted a show called “The Best in the Business” on Discovery Channel and a game show called “Who’s Still Standing?” on NBC. In addition to his stand-up comedy gigs across the country, he also has had two specials on Comedy Central and appeared on “Oprah,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Rachel Ray,” “The Today Show,” “Good Day New York” and “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” according to the bio on his Facebook page.
