Rodney Carrington - El Niño Loco

Comedian Rodney Carrington’s new all-music album, ‘El Niño Loco’, debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Comedy chart – his seventh album to debut within the Top Ten of that chart – as well as at #19 in the trade publication’s Country chart and #76 on their Top 200.

The first video from ‘El Niño Loco’, “If I’m The Only One” – featured as an iTunes “Video of the Week” – highlights comedic performances from some familiar faces: actors Jennifer Aspen and Nick Searcy from Carrington’s popular ABC sitcom Rodney and superstar Toby Keith, one of El Niño Loco’s producers and co-writer on several of the album’s songs.

About the popular video, Carrington said “Seeing and working with everyone from the Rodney show again was great – and of course working with Toby Keith is always a lot of fun.”

“I always try to surround myself with talented people – to cover up the mistakes I make… that’s the secret of my success,” he added with a grin.

Besides the successful launch of ‘El Niño Loco’, the comedian can also celebrate the release of the first season of his ABC comedy Rodney on DVD, available exclusively at Wal-Mart.

Season Two of Rodney is scheduled for release before the end of 2009.

Also planned for release this year is Carrington’s first album of holiday music, ‘Make It Christmas’.

Of course, Carrington’s summer always includes a busy tour schedule; this summer features a run of shows at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from July 30 through August 12, 2009.

Rodney Carrington is a multitalented comedian, actor, and writer who has recorded seven major record label comedy albums selling over two million copies, two of which have been certified gold by the RIAA.

Carrington starred in his own TV sitcom Rodney, which ran for two seasons on ABC. He recently co-wrote and co-starred with Toby Keith in the award winning movie Beer for My Horses. He is the author of the book Coming Clean and the star of the highly rated one-hour comedy special on Comedy Central Live at the Majestic.

According to Pollstar, Carrington has been among the top ten grossing touring comedians for the last five years. He regularly performs to sold out crowds across the US and Canada.
