Ricky Lax has been a staple in Tally Hall videos since the days of anonyMous. He is most known for his role as Magical Fish and Jerk Chicken's co-worker in Tally Hall's Internet Show, and for his character as the dumbfounded co-host of the informercial for Rototron Cornbobber. Ricky has worked with Rob Cantor on Mr. President, There’s an Asteroid Headed Directly For the Earth: The Musical before it was presumably rejected by Amazon Studios.
In the years since, he's become well known on the internet for his magic tricks and even fooled Penn and Teller on their show Penn & Teller: Fool Us.[1] Ricky has published 3 books since 2008 and created a television show named Wizard Wars for SyFy.[2]
After his part in anonyMous, Ricky would become Tally Hall's first manager. During his 70 day tenure as their manager, Ricky would receive 17.5% of all deals Tally Hall made and attempts were made to secure them a record label.[3] Ricky also played the cowbell in early live performances of the song Banana Man and managed the merch booth at points.[4]
Ricky plays Sunglasses Remover in the music video for Rob's song All I Need Is You and gets a very special thanks in the credits for The Rendezvous and Perfect.
