Derek Gaines
Host of MTV’s Broke Ass Game Show
Derek Gaines is currently the host of MTV’s Broke Ass Game Show and can be seen on comedy club stages across the country. Derek, AKA The Greatboy, started in the vicious comedy clubs of Philadelphia 12 years ago and began to move around the tri-state area working on a style of comedy that speaks to all but touches the very hearts of the Black, "can't-be-a-thug suburbanite only children" of the US.
Raised by the trifecta of his mother Chrystal, his Nana and Aunt Nell, Derek thanks Nana’s Buick and God for getting him to where he is today. "Progress and not peril" is his motto and he plans to take that with him through every stage of his career.
