Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt is one of the figureheads of the "alternative" standup scene of the early 2000s, but a star turn as the voice of Remy in the 2007 Pixar film RATATOUILLE introduced him to an entirely new and younger audience. For the kiddies... his 2007 comedy album WEREWOLVES AND LOLLIPOPS most certainly ain't. Oswalt lobs merciless, profanity-laden, venom-soaked barbs at everyone and everything from Paris Hilton and Jon Voight to Cirque Du Soleil and KFC's Famous Bowl (he calls it "a failure pile in a sadness bowl"). He is, however, most effective--and indeed relatable to--when he implicates himself in the very ignorance and stupidity he rips into. Oswalt might feel the need to turn on himself now and again, but he's far too quick-witted, gleefully absurd, and outright smart for self-loathing--even if he did once eat one of those sadness bowls.

Patton Oswalt enters the set of Emeril Live bearing an impish grin and a healthy appetite. The rumpled gnome of a comic actor, 38, has never seen the Food Network's superstar in action. But he clearly knows his role as a guest on the cable cooking show: to kick the humor up a notch while stirring up interest in Ratatouille, the latest computer-animated confection from Disney's Pixar. It opens June 29.

Patton Oswalt provides the voice of a rat named Remy who dreams of being a chef in the animated family adventure, Ratatouille. Despite the fact rats aren’t exactly held in high esteem by most people, the film manages to somehow make the idea of rats in the kitchen into something palatable. The Pixar film might not have inspired audiences to go out and adopt rats during its theatrical release, but the subject matter didn’t keep kids or adults away from theaters and probably won’t stop anyone from picking up the film on DVD.
