Meadows often spoofed famous personalities including O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Erykah Badu on SNL, and one time remarked that he had no character that was identified to him, such as Wayne and Garth being identified to Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. Eventually he did get an original character with Leon Phelps, "The Ladies' Man", a perpetually horny talk show host who believed himself to be the living definition of what females search for in a man. The sketch/character was adapted into a 2000 film, The Ladies Man, which followed the character's attempts to find love and a suitable outlet for his beloved radio program.

Despite a surprise guest appearance by Meadows on Saturday Night Live immediately following his departure to promote the movie, it was not well-received by critics or fans and subsequently flopped at the box office. It has, however, become a cult classic on DVD and cable.

In 2001 he co-starred in Three Days (2001); in 2003 he appeared as Miles McDermott in The Even Stevens Movie. Meadows soon moved on to other projects, including a regular role on the short-lived NBC sitcom The Michael Richards Show and a supporting role in the 2004 film The Cookout. He also guest starred as a client on the hit NBC comedy The Office in the second-season episode "The Client". His greatest post-SNL success to date, however, was a major role as a high school principal in Mean Girls, a film written by (and co-starring) fellow SNL cast member Tina Fey.

He also had a part in Handsome Boy Modeling School's album White People. In 2007, he appeared in large supporting role in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Meadows has appeared in other feature films, including Coneheads, It's Pat, and Wayne's World 2, all of which were based on popular SNL characters and had varying rates of success. Most recently he was in the 2006 film The Benchwarmers alongside his former SNL co-stars Rob Schneider and David Spade.

He was also featured in CBS's Gameshow Marathon (summer 2006), has appeared on The Colbert Report in the recurring role of P.K. Winsome (who made an appearance at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear), and starred in The Bill Engvall Show. He is also a frequent guest on the Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson as a comic field reporter.

On May 31, 2008, Meadows threw out a ceremonial first pitch and conducted the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field during a Chicago Cubs game against the Colorado Rockies.

Meadows can frequently be seen performing live at the iO WEST with Heather Campbell and Miles Stroth in their improvised show Heather, Miles, and Tim.

"Washington has been the home of a number of very good comics and a few great ones (Wanda Sykes, Dave Chappelle, Lewis Black, Martin Lawrence). Erin Jackson could be next in line." "The Washington Post".

Armed with a megawatt smile and a pocket full of dreams, Erin Jackson is poised to conquer the world of stand-up. In fact, she'd probably be well on her way to super stardom by now if her friends and family hadn't spent so many years hating on her dreams and stealing her joy.

Since first making a name for herself at colleges and east coast comedy clubs, Erin's warm, conversational style and relate-able humor have helped to propel her onto the national stage. She has performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, and she was a semifinalist on season 6 of NBC's Last Comic Standing. She was a featured writer and performer for TBS's Bitcom Series, and was invited by HBO to open for Bill Maher at the tapings for his latest stand-up special. Erin can currently be seen starring in her very own IFC Comedy Moment Moment, and will appear on the upcoming season of Byron Allen's Comedy TV.

If there was one phrase to describe James Davis it would be: Fresh to Death. Whether it's his look, on stage persona or writing style, James is always "Fresh."

God introduced James Davis to the power of comedy in high school. Outside of class, Crossroads High School (Santa Monica, California) was a non-stop comedy club for James and his friends. As financially aided black students in a predominantly white, upper-class private high school, they would use humor to create an atmosphere that was comfortable and safe to them. Many of James' earliest influences in comedy were not comedians but classmates and fellow Boy Scouts. That's right! He was a Boy Scout. He also skipped second grade and is an avid golfer with a single digit handicap. James is also a gifted artist and... not so gifted (yet avid) freestyle rapper. These are the characteristics that make James Davis who he is on stage as a comedian, on set as an actor or on paper as a writer.

When it comes to James Davis, the sky is the limit. Mr. Davis' TV credits include BET's "Hell Date," Bill Bellamy's "Who's Got Jokes" and a handful of MTV shows that he would like to forget. He's written for the past three BET Awards and the past two BET Hip Hop Awards.

James often performs stand-up comedy for troops, colleges and all the major comedy clubs in southern California. He has even hosted shows for Drake and Ryan Leslie. His music spoofs have made it all the way to cable via Comcast On-Demand. Currently, James can be seen on the Comedy Central show "Russell Simmons Presents Stand-Up at the El Rey Theater" hosted by JB Smoove. God willing, you'll be hearing about this young man for a long time. This message will self destruct in 20 seconds.
