Seán Cullen (born 1965) is a Canadian comedian. He is known for combining improvisation with mimicry and music.] Cullen has been described in Time as the "vanguard of comedy's next generation".[
Cullen has appeared frequently on Canadian television, including CBC's Air Farce, CTV's The Associates, and The Comedy Network's Patti and Liocracy. He has appeared on American sitcoms, such as The Ellen Show, Payne.

In 2003, Cullen produced his own sitcom, The Seán Cullen Show, for the CBC. It lasted for one six-episode season. Also at Christmas of 2003, CBC aired the Seán Cullen's Home for Christmas special. Cullen hosted the 17th and 18th Annual Gemini Awards Galas in 2002 and 2003 respectively, winning a Gemini himself the latter year for hosting the former gala.

Dead ringer for a young Jackie Gleason.

An exellent host for the Gemini Awards.

The first I knew of Sean was on Graham Fellowes's 'Radio Shuttleworth' on BBC radio, and 'banana' was chosen as the food of choice. I immediately wrote his name in my notebook because that 'food of choice' 'skit' was definitely in my top 5 ever comedy moments, and it still is. I could endlessly watch him do the 'Food of choice' thing, over and over.

Possibly the greatest man on the planet. In every category.
