With a Name Like Economopoulos, He Has
to Be Funny.
Comedian Costaki Economopoulos' humor has been described as smart, pointed, hip, sharp, insightful, socially relevant, and gut-laugh funny and he’s been described as a “casually brilliant joke philosopher.” Just look at his business card, it's all right there. Aside from standup comedy, Costaki is still looking for a full time staff writing position on a sitcom if anybody “knows a guy.” But until that day comes, he is keeping busy with other projects, so keep an eye out for the biggest name in comedy during the credits of your favorite show. It’s hard to miss.

Grip It and Rip It!
How do you become one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour? Pro golfer John Daly describes his technique with the simple phrase "grip it, and rip it." This may sound too easy to be true, but it's hard to argue with a guy who's been the PGA's longest driver almost every year for the past decade. Daly has used his famous long ball to finish first in four PGA tournaments (two of them majors) in his young career, as well as to earn the prestigious Rookie of the Year award. When not on the links, "The Lion" often trades in his clubs for a guitar. Daly enjoys writing music and just recorded his first album, My Life, with friends Darius Rucker, Willie Nelson, Johnny Lee and Daron Norwood

The Long ARMstrong
of the Law
Comedian Mike Armstrong was such a bad cop while on the force that when he quit, three officers had to be let go because there was no need for that big of an internal affairs department anymore. Whether pulling over speeders to warn them of speed traps down the road, moving a "drunk" who had just thrown himself out of a ten-story building, or shooting the finger off a gun wielding criminal, Armstrong personally helped strain police relations with the public almost every day. He may have struck fear in the hearts of everyone while walking the beat, but now that he's safely on stage and off the street, we can laugh about it now.

FACTOID - According to our webmaster, Mike Armstrong still owes him money, so if you see him, be sure to bring it up.

Heywood's Bank of Songs
Armed with his ever-tuned guitar, and an adequate grasp of his lyrics, Heywood Banks always does his best to make everyone's early mornings bright by sharing a few of his old favorites (when he can remember them), as well as new tunes whenever he's got them. Heywood's recent works have included songs about hitting a deer, losing a mattress off the roof of a car, acid reflux, and asking Santa for cash on Christmas... but his topics go far beyond those. If you want to listen to more songs than he can sing on the radio in one visit, you can purchase Heywood's albums at ComedyHome.com, and VIP members, check out the Heywood Banks Audio Page.

Making the Ride to the Studio a Little More Exciting
Just when we think we've got Drew Hastings figured out, he does something even more curious than when he sported a sash on the show. Drew recently purchased a sweet 1977 Cadillac Eldorado which isn't all that odd on its own, especially for Hastings. But throw in that he purchased it if off of eBay, and things seem a little more strange and Drew-like. Hastings doesn't find his actions to be all that bizarre, and still claims he's just like you and me. Which just so happens to be the title of Drew's comedy album, I’m Just Like You.

SIDE NOTE - Because a photographer was present, Drew pretended to know what he was doing while inspecting his new ride.

SIDE NOTE II - The return of Drew Hastings to the studio may also lead to the return of his good friend, success guru, Jack Freeman.

Bill Calls, Bob's Gone... Coincidence?
If we had to choose our favorite guest that works for both The Late Show with David Letterman and Sports Illustrated, we would pick Bill Scheft every time. Oddly enough though, it seems whenever Scheft is scheduled to appear on the show, Bob's away on "nudie vacations" or serving as a caddy in Augusta at The Masters. Though Scheft has developed a complex about this, it's not keeping him from dialing in and updating the audience on his sports column, baseball season, Dave Letterman's health, and the status of his now classic novel, The Ringer.
