Taking "All You Can Eat" To the Extreme
According to the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE), competitive eating is the next big thing in sports. Anyone can put a ball in a hoop, or catch a 30 yard bullet pass, but it takes a real athlete to down 50 hot dogs in a single sitting. According to IFOCE President Richard Shea, the best part of competitive eating is that there is no off season. From the Glutton Bowl, to Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, the "athletes" of the IFOCE travel all over the country all year long, shoveling as much food in their mouth as is humanly possible. The next event on this leg of the tour is the Battle of the Buffets, which will be airing on The Travel Channel Jan 12th from Las Vegas

Jackson Perdue is No Chicken
Though the name might be reminiscent of you last trip to the grocery store, Jackson Perdue is a comedian, not a frozen chicken breast. And though we like both equally, Jackson is probably just a little bit funnier. He is among the favorite acts in Vegas, and you may have seen him on the Playboy Channel as well as Entertainment Tonight. But If you miss his appearance on the BOB&TOM Show, cluck you.

No Trip for You Mon
Comedian Jimmy Pardo commands respect, and maybe some day he’ll get it. Even though he’s a well accomplished comedian, with a number of impressive credentials on his resume, the cast of The BOB&TOM Show still love to give Pardo a hard time. That's why we we're so upset to hear that Jimmy won't be able to make the Bahamas trip this year. Looks like we'll have to resort to making fun of Chick. The good news is that Pardo is missing the trip because of his new job as host of Movies At Our House where he and his co-host Rachel, show movie favorites from their very own living room. Who wouldn't want to spend an evening on the couch next to Pardo? Movies At Our House airs every Monday at 8pm on AMC.

Side Note - If you love him or you just feel sorry for him, vote for Jimmy Pardo in the Comedy Central Standup Showdown. (Or, if you see someone else you like better, vote for them)
