Doug Benson is best known for his starring roles in the pot-doc Super High Me and the pot-play The Marijuana-Logues. He recently had a show on Comedy Central, The Benson Interruption, and regularly performs stand-up in clubs around the country.
In 2006, Benson hosted the Stony Awards and was named Stoner of the Year. He began contributing punchlines to Best Week Ever and then decided to do Super High Me, his send-up of Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me - with buds instead of burgers. After George Carlin died in June 2008, Benson wrote on his MySpace blog: "[He] was easily one of my biggest influences growing up and proof that a pot smoker can be a prolific and inspiring person and artist. I was a fan of his stuff well before I even considered the idea of becoming a stand-up comedian. And thanks in part to his trailblazing in the area of free speech, I've actually said four of his "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television" on television. I haven't said cunt, cocksucker or motherfucker on TV...yet."
Benson's latest comedy album is Unbalanced Load. His previous album, Professional Humoredian, was released in 2008. Benson hosts the bi-weekly podcast, Doug Loves Movies. Check out his tour dates here.
About being voted Top CelebStoner, Benson quipped, "I can't think of a bigger honor. Because I am high." Also see:Doug Benson @Twitter More Top CelebStoners CelebStoner News
