Long before he had runs on two very successful TV sitcoms, Billy Gardell paid his dues in bars and clubs across America as a stand-up comedian.

Sioux Falls bound

Now, his career has come full circle, and for the first time in three years, he's returning to his roots with The Less is More Tour, which will include a stop in Sioux Falls.

The show is February 13th, 2026, at the Orpheum Theater.

Road to stardom

The Pennsylvania native got his start in stand-up in 1987 and for the next two decades made a name for himself on the comedy circuit before landing the role of Mike Biggs, opposite Melissa McCarthy, on the CBS sitcom, Mike and Molly in 2010. That show ran for six seasons.

Three years later, Gardell joined the cast of another hit CBS sitcom, Bob Hearts Abishola, playing  Robert 'Bob' Wheeler during the show's five-season run.

Gardell also has a pair of comedy specials to his credit, Halftime (Comedy Central - 2011) and Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs (Showtime - 2013).

13 Times Sioux Falls Made it into a 'Jeopardy!' Question

If the world was divided into Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune people, I would be down for Jeopardy! all the way. It's a lot more fun, it makes me feel smart because I can retain lots of trivia, and I am a horrible speller. So Wheel is out, no whammies.

Recently I discovered (I mean wasted a lot of time on) a website that is an archive of clues that have been on Jeopardy!.

While digging around the archive, I wanted to find out how often Sioux Falls came up in a question (Answer) on the show. Since 1990 Sioux Falls has been part of a question or an answer 13 times.
