Dave Landau is a stand-up comedian from the Detroit area who became a notable figure in the Compound Media universe as Anthony Cumia's co-host on The Anthony Cumia Show. Landau stepped into the co-host chair in 2018 after Artie Lange's departure due to health and legal issues, and he quickly proved himself as a stabilizing presence on the show. Where Artie brought volatile, headline-grabbing energy, Landau brought consistent, sharp comedic chops and a more observational style that complemented Cumia's shock jock sensibility without competing with it. The Landau era on Compound Media (roughly 2018-2021) is widely regarded as one of the most stable and productive periods for Anthony's show.

Their chemistry worked because Landau understood his role: be funny, keep the energy up, and don't try to out-Anthony Anthony. The result was a show that hummed along with fewer of the dramatic disruptions that had marked other co-host arrangements.

While it represented a career upgrade for Dave -- Crowder's show had a substantially larger audience and mainstream conservative media reach
