He will be repped at IAG by agents Jim Osborne, Andrew Rogers, Kyle Loftus, Lucy Tashman, and Christopher Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing adds one of entertainment&#8217;s most versatile names to an IAG roster that has been growing rapidly in 2026, the agency signed actor <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/omar-benson-miller-signs-with-iag-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omar Benson Miller<\/a> and media personality <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/kyle-cooke-signs-with-independent-artist-group-iag-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kyle Cooke<\/a> for representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the Original Kings of Comedy alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/steve-harvey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steve Harvey<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/d-l-hughley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">D.L.
