Dan Stabb ’02 on improv, career development, and winning big on NBC’s Password
This episode of Far and Widener features Dan Stabb, who earned his bachelor’s degree in communication and media studies at Widener University in 2002. Dan has built a multifaceted career around helping people discover their potential—whether they are preparing for a new profession, stepping onto an improv stage, or finding their voice as a performer. Dan currently serves as executive director at Literacy Delaware, a non-profit organization focused on adult literacy advocacy and instruction. He previously worked for a nonprofit coding school, Zip Code Wilmington, where he helped aspiring professionals develop skills to navigate major career transitions and succeed in a rapidly changing industry.
Dan is also an improvisational performer, teacher, and coach who directs Fearless Improv, produced by Wilmington’s City Theater Company. He works as a professional voiceover artist and previously entertained audiences as Carlton P. Hightower, a villainous professional wrestling manager.
Most recently, Dan brought his energy and quick thinking to national television as a contestant on NBC’s Password. He won both the game and its bonus round—taking home $16,000 and celebrating alongside Jimmy Fallon and WWE star The Miz.
In this conversation, Dan reflects on his creative journey through improv, voiceover, and professional wrestling, as well as his impactful work helping others. The podcast is hosted by Greg Potter, associate vice president for University Relations at Widener University.
