Blaine Capatch arrived on the "geek" scene many years ago by hitting the stand-up comedy circuit in his hometown of Baltimore (circa 1985). After slugging it out in Howard Johnson lounges and airport snack bars across the country for nearly a decade, Capatch is now the new host of COMEDY CENTRAL's pop-culture trivia game show, "Beat The Geeks."

Before his new role as host, Capatch moved from Baltimore to San Francisco and began performing exclusively in the Bay Area for three years and traveling to Los Angeles occasionally to work on various projects such as "Food For Thought," "Mission to Mars" and "The Martin Short Show." He has also written with fellow comedian and friend Patton Oswalt for COMEDY CENTRAL. Attempting to broaden his exposure in entertainment, Capatch has appeared on virtually every stand-up comedy show there is. Eventually, he landed a writing gig on FOX's "Mad TV" and became a permanent Los Angeles resident.

In addition to writing for the WB's "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment," Capatch can also be seen performing stand-up comedy at clubs all around the country.
