Impressive Impressionist
If you’ve watched TV for even a second over the past year, you've probably seen something with comedian Frank Caliendo in it. Though he was once only a co-star of FOX's sketch comedy show MAD TV, he has since become America's go-to guy when it comes to impressions. That's because no cultural icon is safe from Frank's mimicking ways. He can do dead on impressions of a number of celebrities including John Madden, Charles Barkley, President Bush, Robert DeNiro, Dr. Phil, Robin Williams and the entire cast of Seinfeld. These days, Frank can be seen on his popular late night program Frank TV on TBS, during football broadcasts on FOX (including this year's Super Bowl), as a frequent guest on Late Night with David Letterman, and most recently as the pitch man (or men) for Dish Network.

The Zany Report - Live in the Studio Edition
The very classy suit wearing, cigar smoking comedian Bob Zany is once again set to deliver his eagerly anticipated Zany Report, but this week there will be a small twist. He'll be doing it live in the studio! And because he's had over a full week to prepare, we're sure Zany will be bringing his A-material for what is sure to be the biggest, funniest, most spectacular report, and guest appearance of all time (no pressure, Bob). If for some reason you aren’t exhausted from laughing when it’s all said and done, there's always BobZany.com where you can test your hand at punch line writing by playing Fix The Joke Baby. Pick up one of those "Salmon: The Other Pink Meat" T-shirts while you're at it.

A Couple of Comedians
As you may have noticed, we have comedians on the show all the time, but rarely do we have comedic couples.  Jim Mendrinos and Leighann Lord are not only professional comedians, they’re also married.  Leighann has been seen on The View, Girls’ Night Out, Tough Crowd, and Comedy Central, and is also a favorite at comedy clubs and colleges across the country.   Her husband Jim is also a funny guy, though not nearly as pretty.  He’s been seen on SNL, Late Night with David Letterman, and Dennis Miller Live and is the author of the Complete Idiots Guide to Comedy Writing.  

Bill Burr to Appear on Late Night w/ David Letterman
For the past decade, comedian Bill Burr has been working hard to establish himself as one of the finest standup comics in the business. And he’s had no shortage of opportunities to do this, averaging over 300 shows a year in a variety of venues. It doesn’t matter if he’s performing on Late Night With Conan O’Brien or Showtime at the Apollo; Burr finds a way to connect with any audience. In his early days of comedy, he did this by making fun of his lunatic father, but these days he covers everything from current events to, well, his lunatic father. Burr has been featured on The Late Show with David Letterman, starred in two films (Perfect Fit and Passionatta), and had his own HBO special. We also noticed it's fun to say his name in the voice our favorite talking horse, Mr. Ed.

Will Tell Jokes For Food
Steve Wilson is only in his mid thirties and yet he’s been performing standup comedy for nearly 20 years. After doing some quick calculations in our heads, that means he’s been working since he was around 16 years-old. Of course, when you learn he was raised by 11 women, it’s easy to see why he was in such a hurry to get out of the house. Steve has been featured on BET, ABC and Comedy Central, was chosen as the Funniest Man in New York in 1988 and has an unhealthy addiction to PlayStation, young girls (over 18 of course), hockeyy and the Buffalo Bills (ah well, there's always next season).

FACTOID – Tom and Steve enjoy text messaging each other during football season, talking smack about each other's favorite NFL teams.

Finding Comedy in Everyday Annoyances
When Dwight Slade takes the stage, he's out for more than just laughs; he does his best to become the voice of the little man, attempting to fight for the average Joe, stick it to 'the man' and score a little payback for all of life's daily humiliations. Is that so much to ask? Whether it's taking on roadside memorials or people who talk to loud on the plane, Dwight's got your back, and he's speaking your mind. Slade got his start working with comedy legend Bill Hicks back in his home town of Portland, but has since made a name for himself headlining comedy clubs, hosting his own radio show and releasing two successful comedy albums, including his newest one, The Evil Monkey.

Comedy's
Southern Belle
Even if comedian Lisa Landry isn’t playing at a comedy club near your, she’s not a hard woman to find.  Her Comedy Central special is in frequent rotation, she can also be seen on E!, MSNBC and FOX and has made guest appearances on Law & Order: SVU, Fashion Police and a number of national commercials.  Her easy going style and sharp wit have also landed her a spot on Bret Butler’s The Southern Belles of Comedy and have earned her the reputation as being on of the top female acts in the country.

1 vs. 100 vs. Bob Saget
As the caring father on TV's Full House and the goofy host of America’s Funniest Home Videos, Bob Saget became a lovable household favorite that families welcomed into their homes each week.  But this image of the good old fashioned American dad comes crashing down as soon as you witness one of his HBO Specials, or see him live on stage. With a style best described as controversial, material most consider raunchy, and roles in movies such as The Aristocrats, Half-Baked and Farce of the Penguins, Bob Saget has reestablished himself as "Mr. Irreverent."  But if you're still in the market for a clean and wholesome Bob, Mr. Saget can be found hosting the NBC game show 1 vs. 100, and as the narrator of the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

A Little Bit of Everything
Many comedians use their own lives as fodder for their acts, and Spanky Brown is no different.  But when it comes to Spanky, his background is so diverse he should never have a hard time finding jokes.  He’s been a car salesman, advertising executive, married, divorced, married again, divorced again, served in the military, is a father and is the son of a preacher.  Brown has been featured on BET’s Comic View, The Speed Channel and on satellite radio.

Animal Lover
Since Tim Bedore's popular segment, Vague But True, has become a regular feature on the BOB&TOM show, certain topics seem to pop up on a regular basis. One of the most popular subject matters has been the secret war raging between man and beast which Tim has dubbed the "Animal Conspiracy." The first installment of this larger work appeared on the album B&T Camel Toe almost four years ago, but as the news stories keep adding up and listener e-mails keep rolling in, Tim has had no choice but to continue informing the masses about this ongoing battle. Will the battle continue in this week's report? You'll just have to tune in to find out.

We'd Like to Buy a Vowel
The only thing harder to spell than Costaki Economopoulos' name, is the weekly feature he hosts, The Economonologue. However, we figure that sense it's a made up word, we've got a little wiggle room if we happen to misplace an 'o' or a 'u.' And though his is not a name you'd want to get as a puzzle on Wheel of Fortune, it is one you don't seeing on our guest board because he's one of the most clever comedians working today. He also happens to be dating the very lovely and very funny Caroline Rhea.

Valentine's Day Making You Crazy?
Dr. WIll is Here to Help
Bob & Tom PSYCHOtherapist, and long time friend of the show, Dr. Will Miller became popular for his theories on classic television and how those shows reflect on our own society and psychology. In his Book, Why We Watch, Dr. Will discussed everything from Gilligan's Island to Scooby Doo and how those reruns were actually the path to personal peace. Then in his next work, Refrigerator Rights, Dr. Will took an in depth look at what friendship in America is all about by examining how individuals give out Refrigerator Rights. In other words, how many friends do you have that are allowed to just walk right in your home and start rummaging through you're ice box? When listening to Dr. Will on our show, it's like watching the Dr. Phil show, only with good advice, and entertainment value.

The Lighter Side of History
If an event of any importance has happened in the past, chances are comedian Scott Dunn can write a joke about it.  Well, not just a joke, an entire routine to be exact.  How can we make such a bold statement?  We have the proof.  Scott has spent the past year calling in to the show every Monday to give us a little history lesson, with a twist. These lessons aren’t boring and stuffy like when your grandpa rambles on about his youth.  No, these tales from times past are chock-full of jokes, laughs and even a few actual historical tidbits you might be able to use in a trivia game down the road.
