A first
Owen auditioned for BET's Comic View in July 1997. After two appearances on the multicultural comedy showcase, he earned a one-hour Grandstand show, and at the season's end he was chosen from four Grandstanders to host, the only white man ever to do so.
A change of course
Owen joined the U.S. Navy at 18. He was a master-at-arms for six years and served in the Presidential Honor Guard.
About the name
He took the stage name Gary Owen by dropping the s from his surname, so that people would not mix him up with the television announcer Gary Owens.
First role
While he was stationed with the Navy in San Diego, California, Owen started performing stand-up in 1995. The next year, he began making weekend drives to Los Angeles to do stand-up there.
Big break
After a year in stand-up, Owen was named "Funniest Serviceman in America". He kept performing in San Diego, built a large African-American fan base, and won the "Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego" contest, which got him his first booking at The Comedy Store in Hollywood.
