Elon Gold was born in The Bronx, New York City, and raised in the Pelham Parkway section. He attended Westchester Day School and the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy. Early in his career, Gold honed his comedic style, which frequently incorporates Jewish culture, American culture, and observations on everyday life, current events, and human behavior. His impressions of public figures like Jeff Goldblum, Howard Stern, and Jay Leno have been a notable part of his performances throughout his career.

Gold established himself in television, starring in the sitcoms “Stacked” and the short-lived “In-Laws.” His acting credits extend to films such as “Cheaper by the Dozen” (2003) and recurring roles in television series like “The Dana Carvey Show” (1996), “The Mentalist” (2009), and “Frasier” (2004). A significant milestone in his stand-up career was his 2014 comedy special, “Chosen and Taken,” which was released on Netflix and received positive acclaim. He also appeared as a judge on ABC’s celebrity impersonation competition series, “The Next Best Thing.”

More recently, Gold has expanded his work to include podcasting and has had a recurring role in “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (2021) as Jake Blum, the Head of Hulu. In 2024, he began filming the Israeli film “The Badchan,” where he plays a Yiddish-speaking badchan, and is also slated to portray journalist Harvey Levin in the upcoming film “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.” These projects demonstrate his continued presence and versatility within the entertainment industry, balancing stand-up comedy with acting and writing across various platforms.
