Frank King

Frank was a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years and has been a speaker and comedian for 38. He is a TEDx and How to Make Money Speaking Coach. His speaking on suicide prevention is informed by his lifetime battle with depression and suicidality. He has turned that long dark journey of the soul into a world's record 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with colleges, corporations, and associations. Frank has shared the stage with comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson. On top of all of that, he has survived two aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, losing to a puppet on the original Star Search, and has lived to joke about it all.
