Brian Dunkleman (born 1971 in Ellicottville, New York) is a comedian/actor who is best known for co-hosting the first season of American Idol on the Fox Network with Ryan Seacrest. Never happy with his role as a co-host, he described it as being like a "talking monkey." American Idol producers were not happy with his performance, and he parted ways with the show after the first season.

He has since appeared on The Tonight Show, had a recurring guest role on Two Guys and a Girl, played a stand-up comic suspected of murder in NYPD Blue, voiced himself in an episode of The Proud Family, in which the show parodied American Idol, did voices for the animated 3 South, and is acting in an independent film called Comedy Hell. He also had a small role on an episode of Friends. He is probably best known recently for co-hosting with Eric "The Astronaut" Lynch on "The Idol Re-cap Show" on Sirius' Howard 101.
