Biography
Christian Duguay was born on January 3, 1970 in Stanford, California and raised in Readfield, Maine. Duguay attended the Berklee College of Music where he majored in Jazz Theory and Composition. After three years of playing the guitar in a tiny practice room, he decided that he wanted to be a stand-up comedian.
Duguay moved back to California, where he enrolled in the film school at California State University at Northridge, majoring in screen writing.

Career
MADtv
Duguay joined the cast of "MADtv" in 2000, as a repertory performer, for the sixth season. His background as a Groundling veteran served him well in the sketches which he appeared in on the show. Duguay's characters included stubborn, hyperactive teenager Edward and Loopgarue, who, along with his sister Hulahoop (played by Mo Collins), was blinded by a chemical fire as a child and now peddles on the street playing music and singing. He soon found popularity for his celebrity impressions, which included: Jay Leno and *NSYNC's Joey Fatone. However, Duguay is most famous for his George W. Bush impersonation, in which he portrayed the Commander-in-Chief as an 'absent minded' and 'intellectually challenged buffoon.'
