FunnyorDie.com, launched in April of 2007, is an award-winning website that has become one of the top destinations for comedy on the web. The site averages over 7 million unique video views per month and over 22 million video views per month. With hundreds of exclusive celebrity videos and a steady stream of huge viral hits, Funny or Die has become the "place to be seen" for comedic celebrities, and the obvious destination for a daily comedy fix.

New on Funny or Die's slate this year include the upcoming HBO series "Funny or Die Presents," and Funny or Die's first digital feature film is currently in pre-production.

Prior to Funny or Die, Glover was vice president of broadcasting and new media for the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) and for NASCAR Digital Entertainment. At NASCAR, Glover ran the Los Angeles office overseeing all television, new media businesses, entertainment programming and promotion on behalf of the sport.

Glover also spent seven years with ESPN, most recently as executive vice president, programming where he was responsible for all aspects of ESPN, Inc.’s domestic programming efforts, which included ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPN Classic and ESPN.com. He was the executive in charge of the planning, development and launch of ESPN.com in 1994 and was instrumental in the site’s impressive growth to its current position as an industry leader.
