JIMMY PALUMBO
ACTOR. COMEDIAN. RUTGERS FAN.
Jimmy Palumbo has spent more than three decades making people laugh on screens, stages, and pretty much anywhere someone will hand him a microphone.
A New Jersey native and professional actor since 1989, Jimmy has racked up more than 100 television and film credits, appearing in shows including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Gotham, Orange Is the New Black, Boardwalk Empire, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Katy Keene, and The Michael Che Show.

You’ve Probably Seen This Guy Before.
JIMMY HAS 100+ FILM & TV CREDITS.
Yet WILL argue about Rutgers football for free.
On At Least We Won The Tailgate, Jimmy brings the same quick wit, storytelling, and everyman personality that have defined his entertainment career ~ only now the script is gone and the final score occasionally ruins his afternoon.
PODCASTER. COMMENTATOR. MEDIA ENTREPRENEUR.
DAVE STURCHIO
Dave Sturchio has built a career around microphones, cameras, sports, and creating content people actually want to watch and listen to.
A longtime podcaster and broadcaster, Dave is the owner of Stellar19 Studios and Mile21 Media in Matawan, New Jersey, where he helps turn ideas into fully produced audio and video content.
His work behind the mic extends well beyond podcasting. Dave is an independent professional wrestling commentator, with appearances for WrestlePro, Awesome Championship Wrestling, GCW, and TNA/Impact Wrestling ~ bringing the same energy, quick reactions, and ability to roll with absolutely anything that he brings to The Tailgate.
He’s Been Behind the Mic for a While.
PODCASTS. SPORTS. WRESTLING. MEDIA.
Putting a Mic in Front of Dave was Inevitable.
On At Least We Won The Tailgate, Dave brings years of broadcasting experience together with the perspective of a genuine sports fan ~ breaking down the game, challenging Jimmy’s takes, and keeping the conversation going long after the final whistle.
