Kyle Brandt
AKA "KB" "Style Grant" "Lyle"
Kyle is the producer of the Jungle. During the show, he screens e-mails, tries to stay outside the blast radius of J-stew's coffee breath, and occasionally calls in hammered during a day off.
KB grew up in Chicago worshiping the Punky QB and driving his doorless Jeep. He moved to Jersey after high school and attended Princeton University, where he played football for 4 years. He started at tailback and kick returner, and in September of 1998 as a sophomore, KB became the first player ever to rush for 100 yards in the new Princeton Stadium. Later, during his Senior year he was stuffed on 4 consecutive carries inside the 5 yard-line against Colgate, briefly earning him the nickname "House Call" in the Jungle.
After graduating, KB was selected as a cast member on MTV's The Real World: Chicago, where he generally made a tool of himself and distinguished between Ryan and Ryne. From there, he took his shoulder cannons "Turbo" and "Laser" to Hollywood, where he embarked upon a stellar acting career, portraying a one-legged Marine on Days of our Lives, and triumphing in his tour-de-force portrayal of "Odor" in a Right Guard commercial along side Randy Johnson.
Kyle has been part of the XR4Ti since January of 2008.
Jason Stewart
AKA "J-Stew", "Mr. Automatic"
Stewart books the guests and screens out the calls during the show. Before getting hired onto the show in 1999, Stewart was a frequent caller to the program while a student at Cal State Fullerton. "Jason in Fullerton" participated in the Smack-Off in 1995 with a call that coined the phrase "walking the thin line of blasphemy". Rome openly considers Stewart's call one of the worst ever in the Smack-Off.
J-Stew has parlayed his notoriety on the show into a part-time acting career.. After appearing on the reality TV series Blind Date, TV Movie Executive Producer Stan Brooks cast him in the USA Network TV movie 'Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss'. J-Stew's other tv movie acting credits include: 'Murder at the Presidio' (USA Network), 'The Capture of the Green River Killer' (Lifetime Movie Network), and Everything She Ever Wanted (Lifetime Movie Network). He has also made three guest appearances on network sitcoms. First in ABC's 'According to Jim' and then two episodes of 'Gary Unmarried' on CBS.
A local Houston band named Three Day Weekend wrote a song about J-Stew called 'Mr.Automatic'. The song celebrates J-Stew's unique appearance and his talents as a contributor on the show.
Alvin Delloro
Nicknames: Lil Alvy, M.G.D., Melvin, R2
Alvin handles all of the technical aspects of the show. Alvin took over after the previous engineer Brian Albers packed his bags and headed to Switzerland in 2005. One of Alvin's biggest responsibilities is the "Week in Review" that airs Fridays in the 3rd hour. His nervous & stressed demeanor on Fridays was mimicked by Kyle during a drunk call to the program: "dude dude dude no no no."
Due to an on-air interview, the clones have compared Alvin's high-pitched voice to that of a 6 year old boy.
Alvin married his long-time girlfriend in November 2008 with Jim and the rest of the crew in attendance. The couple is expecting their 1st child in April 2010.
