Kevin Schnitz
Kevin Schnitz has been a veritable fixture in the entertainment world since 1982. After studying reperatory theatre with the prestigious Circle in the Square group in NYC, Kevin made his way to the sunny left coast and soon began his TV career as the morphine-addicted chuck wagon cook on the popular but short-lived series “Prairie Ghosts.”
After a brief stint exploring his roots as the sassy emcee in the Westwood Playhouse production of Cabaret, Kevin struck comedic gold in television in the late 1980s with regular appearances on “Friday Night Videos hosted by Elvira” and “Thicke of the Night.” This led to Kevin’s big break in talk, “Evenings with Schnitz,” and his subsequent (and current!) collaboration with his beloved soulmate Lisa, “Two Peas in a Pod.” Most recently, Kevin has enjoyed ironic popularity among young people for his cameo appearance on hip-hop artist Snackwell’s LP Fat-free Rhymin’—No Whey, which features Kevin’s guest rap verse on the hit single “Lotion Up Ya Handz.”

Lisa Schnitz
Lisa Schnitz started her career turning in circles on a pedestal. As a spokesmodel for the Detroit auto show, that is! Tom Selleck, passing through his hometown, discovered Lisa splayed out on the hood of a Ford Mustang and later they frenched. His mustache tickled.
Tom encouraged Lisa to move to Hollywood and she did because she had dreams of becoming the first really big pea in show biz. Also because Tom bought her a ticket. Unfortunately, Tom turned out to be an ass and never returned Lisa’s calls, and his career abruptly spiraled downward anyway. It’s called karma, Tom.
As a starving actress, senior square dance instructor, and certified deep-sea welder, Lisa made money as a freelance journalist, doing graphics for investment bank Credit Suisse First Boston, and dancing topless at Jumbo’s Clown Room. She eventually landed supporting roles in numerous top-rated shows, including “Come to Papa,” “Working” and “Yes Dear.” Lisa also famously worked as a body double for Mayim Bialik. It was on the set of “Blossom” that she met her talented but anal co-host and husband.
In recent months, Lisa has discovered the joys of bronzer and is currently penning a self-help tome entitled You Can Pea Whoever You Want to Pea Because I, Lisa Schnitz, Did It by Lisa Schnitz With a New Forward by Halle Berry What Was Wrong With The Old Forward Nothing Really.

Virgil Cortez de la Espada
Virgil Cortez de la Espada was born on June 10, 1967 on the final day of the Six Day War in Jerusalem to Drs. Emil and Dolores Cortez de la Espada. A precocious youth, he remained in Israel with his parents and for two and a half years was a correspondent for the BBC, reporting on Israeli issues, until they discovered that he was only 11.
Virgil eventually graduated from the University of Oxford at Cambridge with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. While at Oxford, he simultaneously went to work for public television in the U.S. and won several awards for producing children’s programming that focused on conflict resolution and achieving intellectual and educational parity among disparate social and ethnic groups.
Most notably, Cortez de la Espada was the 1989 winner of Oxford’s prestigious William C. Gross Fellowship in Clinical Psychology, for his dissertation disproving the theories of renowned Harvard psychologist William C. Gross. But his highest stateside honor was winning the Ray Arthur Kroc Award for Excellence in Human Endeavors for a program entitled, “Happy Bunny Goes to Motown.” He was 21 years old.
Virgil turned to the private sector and co-founded a software company in 1998 that provided dynamic databases for large charitable organizations. Unfortunately, he was subsequently wiped out by the tech stocks collapse and was compelled to return to television.
Most recently, Virgil has been the showrunner for the popular daytime talk show, “Two Peas In A Pod.” He is currently in therapy.
