Emo Philips (born Phil Soltanec) is an American stand-up comedian from Downers Grove, Illinois.
Philips had acting roles on television series such as Miami Vice and The Weird Al Show. He's also voice-acted for the animated series Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist; Home Movies; and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. He has appeared in feature films, including UHF (1989) and Desperation Boulevard (1998), and was associate producer of the film Meet the Parents (2000). (although he had nothing to do with Meet the Parents, he had been an executive producer on the original Meet the Parents (1992), of which the 2000 film was a remake.) He also appeared briefly in the documentary, The Aristocrats (2005) (with a much shorter and grayer hair style). He has also recently appeared on British television, appearing as a guest on the panel game 8 Out of 10 Cats, and in 2006 he appeared at the Newbury Comedy Festival.
Philips has recorded three comedy albums. His album E=mo2 won the 1985 New Music Award for best comedy album. It was later re-released along with his Live at the Hasty Pudding Theatre album on a single CD.
On 8 August 1988, Philips married fellow comedian Judy Tenuta. They subsequently divorced.
