No stranger to television after work on Beverly Hills 90210 and Saved by the Bell, over 100 million US households can see Fred each week as the color commentator for HPT. Crisscrossing the nation for 20 weeks every year with HPT, Fred’s banter is sure to reach to every corner of the US. Since the first HPT episode in 2005, Fred has been a fan favorite, originally working for a slice (or twelve) of pizza. Now also producing the show, Fred’s salary has increased to include buffet comps. A nationally-touring headline comedian, Fred earned a prominent spot in mainstream media while travelling and performing alongside top entertainers of our day. In his 20-year career, he shared the stage with superstars Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Wright, George Carlin, and Louie Anderson, to name a few. Fred is a crowd-pleaser throughout the US and abroad, from poker rooms to living rooms everywhere.

He’s not the Chris Hanson from Dateline’s To Catch a Predator, but he does aspire to be an unwelcome surprise at the table. The poker table, that is. Chris is always willing to take money from fans while playing cash games on the road with HPT. More accurately known for his unintentional generosity, Chris has a history of donating to the bankrolls of others. It will come as no surprise to tour regulars that he isn’t quitting his day job to play poker professionally. Day jobs, actually. With a weakness for gambling and four babies to feed, Chris collects two paychecks while functioning on very little sleep. In addition to his on-air role with HPT, he is also a radio superstar in his hometown market of Fargo, North Dakota, where he is part of the top-rated, longest-running morning show team. Alongside his HPT broadcasting partner Fred Bevill, Chris logs thousands of hours in poker rooms – and ATM lines - across America each year.
