Heywood Banks: Day Two
Heywood Banks made a pit stop in the studio a day earlier than scheduled and made it through a few tunes before realizing he wasn't due in till Friday. Armed with his ever-tuned guitar, and an adequate grasp of his lyrics, Heywood did his best to make everyone's early mornings bright by sharing an old classic (that he surprisingly remembered), and a new song about hitting a deer. He was in and out pretty quick on Thursday, but fortunately we'll get a double dose of Mr. Banks when he once again joins the cast for a morning of mirth making. Want to hear more of Heywood? Purchase his albums at ComedyHome.com, and VIP members, check out the Heywood Banks Audio Page.

The Ringer Returns
If we had to choose our favorite guest that worked for both The Late Show with David Letterman and Sports Illustrated, it would be Bill Scheft, hands down. In fact, we like him so much, he was the guest host of the show while Bob was on his infamous "Nudie Vacation." Scheft will be giving us a call for the first in 2003, and it couldn't be a better time. With baseball season getting ready to begin, and The Late Show in the news recently, we're sure The Ringer, will have plenty to talk about.

Celtic Pride
From the bright lights of Vegas to the shores of the Florida Keys (and even stints in Ireland) Brigid's Cross has been pleasing audiences wherever their travels have taken them. Their music is a mix of traditional and contemporary Celtic songs, original parodies, and tunes from many eras, all performed with a healthy dose of humor, and enough energy to solve all of California's power problems. No wonder they are known as the ultimate Irish party band!

FACTOID - Brigid's Cross has been voted the "Best World/Ethnic Act" in the city of Cleveland, OH, in 2000, and 2001 in the Cleveland Free Times Music Awards.

Goal Oriented Comedy
Comedian Danny Bevins says that his goal each and every time he takes the stage is to leave the audience emotionally and physically exhausted. He does this by walking the fine line between having them laugh at and laugh with him. And if that doesn’t work, he makes them watch Old Yeller, and then run three miles. Either way, it's always mission accomplished.

That Ride Be Pimped Out
Just when we think we've got Drew Hastings figured out, he does something even more curious than when he wore the sash. Drew recently purchased a 1977 Cadillac Eldorado for his drive back home to LA. Perhaps on its own, that's not all that strange, but add in the fact that it was purchased on eBay, and things get a little more interesting. Hastings doesn't find his actions to be bizarre at all, and still claims that he's just like you and me. That just so happens to be the title of Drew's new comedy album. I’m Just Like You featuring Hastings’ unique takes on every day life.

March Madness Begins
Selection Sunday is only a week away, and the most exciting time of the year for NCAA basketball is upon us. Only 65 schools get invited the big dance, but we're still not sure who those teams will be. Who will be this year's Cinderella story? Will mid-major teams get the shaft again? And which power house programs will have their bubble burst? It's all this drama that keeps us coming back for more. Dick Vitale is back with his weekly report to talk some hoops, plug The Broken Egg, and help the kids of the Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota raffle off a killer 2003 Mercedes-Benz.

The Ins and Outs
of Ménage à Trois
Welcome to the intersection of fantasy and reality! The wave of sex publishing will reach a new pinnacle with the planned release of a book by Crystal Syben Haidl (Sy-ben Hi-del) called "III" - A revealing and erotic look at threesome fantasy and it's fast emerging mainstream experience which attempts to unveil the facts about having "really close" friends.

Take our mini poll and let us know what your "position" is! Be honest!

Dick Smart
If there is anything funnier than a penis puppet, we don’t want to know about it. It is this type of humor that has brought Tim's Area of Control into the spotlight. Tim Huffman, star of the show, is the brain behind Dick Smart, a penis puppet that’s taking television by storm. As of right now, Dick Smart can only be seen in the Grand Rapids area, but if good taste prevails, he’ll be penetrating into other markets very soon.
