If the name Todd Robbins sounds familiar to you it’s probably because you have seen him on one of over 100 TV shows he has done. These include the late night talkfests of Letterman, Leno and Conan O’Brien and the NBC special, Extreme Variety. Howard Stern has said about Todd, “This is truly an amazing talent” and Penn & Teller say, “Todd Robbins is a god!”
