After 14 years on The Howard Stern Radio Show (1998), John Melendez did 10 years on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992). Besides being the Tonight Show's nightly announcer and a staff writer, Melendez appeared in the show's comedy sketches and did correspondent pieces.

Melendez, who began with Howard Stern's show as an intern in college, landed on the air almost immediately because of his stuttering abilities. During his years with Stern, Melendez gained national acclaim and recognition as "Stuttering John", with his daring and irreverent gonzo-ambush interview style and prominent personality. In addition to interviewing countless celebrities at special events as a field reporter, he also conducted man-on-the-street interview segments, and regularly participated in sketch pieces for the show. He was a regular writer for the Stern Show throughout his tenure. Segments of the radio show were videotaped and televised as the nationally syndicated and highly rated E! television show Howard Stern (1994).

Aside from his notable work with Leno and Stern, Melendez's feature film credits include Howard Stern's Private Parts (1997), Dude, Where's My Car? (2000), Meet Wally Sparks (1997), Airheads (1994), and Osmosis Jones (2001). On television, he is credited with appearances on the reality series I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! (2003) and Celebrity Fear Factor (2006), had guest-starring roles on Wings (1990) and Baywatch Nights (1995), and was the voice of "Bob" in the animated series Tripping the Rift (2004) on the Sci-Fi channel. In 2008, Melendez wrote, produced, and starred in his own full-length feature One, Two, Many (2008).
