Comedian Matt Rife recently revealed that he was baptized following the death of his grandfather in 2024.
Rife was baptized in August 2024 in someone’s pool, according to an interview he did with comedians Yannis Papas and Chris Distefano. Though he apparently “hates” going to Church, he believes in God. He also wasn’t raised in Christian household and so only attended church with friends a few times each year. “I hate church; I find it excruciatingly boring,” said Rife. “But I want to believe in God, and it’s obviously a huge part of the process.”
“I’ve never been a super religious person, but when my grandpa passed away, something hit me that I was like, ‘I’ll never see this person again,’” he explained. “So something has to exist. I skew Christian, so I started going to church a little bit more.”

“Saturday Night Live” legend Rob Schneider spoke to the Daily Caller’s Kay Smythe — now Million Voices’ Managing Editor Kay Hill (thanks to her recent marriage) — earlier in 2024 about his own conversion to Christ and what it means for America’s right now.
“I would say I’m assured that we are in a spiritual war, let’s not mince words. But is it something equal parts good and evil?” Schneider asked. “Good and evil don’t cancel each other out. But there’s just enough evil right now to give good a run for its money.”
Russell Brand turned his life around from crude comedy to Christ-follower. Over the summer he led a crowd of an estimated 25,000 people in the Lord’s Prayer.
