Gareth Patrick Reynolds (born November 27, 1979) is an American comedian, podcaster, producer, and writer. He is best known for co-hosting The Dollop, a weekly comedy history podcast in which his friend and fellow comedian Dave Anthony surprises him each time with a shocking or notable story from American history that he hears for the first time during the recording.
Gareth was co-hosting The Naughty Show with Sam Tripoli when Anthony appeared on the show as a guest, with the pair's comedic chemistry prompting Anthony to invite Reynolds to occasionally fill in for Greg Behrendt on the Walking the Room podcast. In 2014, Reynolds was slated to be the first guest on Anthony's history podcast The Dollop, which was originally supposed to feature a new guest each episode; Reynolds ended up being the show's permanent co-host. On the show, Anthony tells Reynolds a story from American history of which Reynolds has no knowledge. He serves as an audience surrogate, reacting to the story and using his improv skills to add levity to the stories, some of which delve into the darkest periods of American history. As a running joke on the show, Anthony often shortens Reynolds' first name from "Gareth" to "Gary" and has encouraged audiences to chant "Gary" during live shows to annoy him. The pair started The Past Times in 2022, which involves Anthony reading stories from a historical newspaper to Reynolds and a new guest each week.
In 2023, Reynolds convinced his long-time friend Jake Johnson to co-host a comedy advice podcast with him. The pair, and sometimes a guest, speak to callers and offer "free advice that feels free". Similar to the "Gary" running joke on The Dollop, Johnson often calls Reynolds his childhood nickname "Garfie" to annoy him.
In 2025, Reynolds launched a third Podcast called Next We Have. It's a segment based comedy podcast with three new premises every episode.
From 2014 to 2021, Reynolds co-hosted Point vs. Point with Evan Mann.
Reynolds wrote and stars in Give It Up, a darkly comedic mockumentary about delusion, desperation, and the cost of chasing relevance. The movie debuts in March 2026 at the Cinequest film festiva
In 2017, Reynolds co-wrote a book based on The Dollop podcast with Dave Anthony entitled The United States of Absurdity: Untold Stories from American History. Screenwriter Josh Olson described the book as "a great bathroom read".Josh Olson and Dave Anthony, "The Benign Prerogative," The West Wing Thing podcast, May 10, 2021.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Reynolds began featuring his mother Pam on the YouTube comedy series Pamdemic. He also hosted a weekly show from his bedroom called Ga'riffs, where he riffed on topics submitted by viewers.
