He Likes Young Girls
and He Can Not Lie
Steve Wilson is only 34 years old and yet he’s been performing standup comedy for 18 years. After doing the math, that means he’s been working since the age of 16. Of course, when you find out he was raised by eleven women, it’s easy to see why he wanted to get out of the house. Steve has been featured on BET, was chosen as the Funniest Man in New York in 1988 and has an unhealthy addiction to PlayStation, young girls and the Buffalo Bills.

FACTOID – Steve Wilson is the roommate of fellow comedian and good friend of the show Ralph Harris

It's Been a Long Time
She’s a fresh, folksy Canadian comedienne described as "the girl next door after being dragged around the block a few times." Tracy Smith has a comedic charm that keeps audiences off balance and laughing with her on-target “hindsight” brand of comedy. Smith’s TV appearances include Evening at the Improv, MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour, Comedy Central, and Make Me Laugh, but she's probably best well known for her appearance on the BOB&TOM album Gone Wild where she talked about being attracted to her doctor.

Not Only Is She Better Looking Than Simon, She Can Sing Better Too
The smash hit reality show American Idol is arguably one of the most popular programs in television history, and though the show focuses on finding the next best-selling pop signer, the majority of Idol’s personality and charm comes from it’s three judges. While Simon Cowell is the harsh one and Randy Jackson tells it like it is, the judge that loves every contestant never hurts anyone’s feelings is Paula Abdul. Paula first made a name for herself over two decades ago when she transformed the Los Angeles Lakers cheerleaders into the world-famous Laker Girls dance squad. From there she went on to record two chart topping, Grammy Award winning albums (Forever Your Girl and Spellbound) and became one of the best selling female artists of the late 80’s/ early 90’s.
FACTOID – Paul Abdul released six #1 hits from 1989-1991.

And You Thought
The Room Next to the
Ice Machine Was Noisy
While on the road, your typical musician would spend their off time lounging about or partying with locals in between gigs , but Bryan Adams' most recent album proves that he’s not of that mold. Every track on his new CD Room Service was written and recorded in various hotel rooms around the world. From New York to Barcelona, Adams spent the past two years on the road, and when he wasn’t performing on stage he was in his hotel rooms recording songs on a portable studio that he carried with him in two suitcases. For Adams, this is his first release in over six-years, and he’s hoping a few of the songs from it like This Side of Paradise or Open Road will be his next (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

FACTOID – Bryan Adams' biggest hit, (Everything I Do) I Do IT For You is tied for third on the all-time best selling singles list with over 3 million copies sold.

George's Beautiful
TV Bride
Along with the fact that George Lopez is a longtime friend of the show, the other best reason for watching his sitcom George Lopez is to see the lovely actress who plays his wife, Constance Marie. As Angie, Marie stars opposite of Lopez on the hit ABC sitcom, but at the same time she’s also working on PBS’s one-hour drama, American Family. Constance has been a fixture in Hollywood since breaking into the business as a break-dancer in the 80’s. Since then, she’s been featured in both film and television with credits including the movies Selena and Tortilla Soup and the shows Spin City, Ally McBeal and Early Edition.

Birbigs is Heading For Late Night TV
Our good buddy Mike Birbiglia is heading back to network TV when he makes his long awaited appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (formerly with Craig Kilborn). We haven't heard for sure if he'll be reading from his journal or not, but we do know that he'll be featured on the show Tuesday the 12th on CBS.

The Show with Bill Scheft
Former standup comedian turned writer, Bill Scheft pens the the column "The Show" in Sports Illustrated, and is the author of one of the greatest novels of our generation, The Ringer, but right now he's first and foremost a sports fan. More specifically, a Boston sports fan. You probably couldn't find a happier guy right now since his New England Patriots won their third Super Bowl in four years and his Boston Red Sox have just begun defending their first championship in 86 years. We're sure with all this excitement in his home town, baseball starting up and the NCAA Tourney coming to a close, Bill's got more than enough material to write about. Aside from all this sports talk, Scheft is by far one of the most comically gifted geniuses we've ever had on the show, and appears on the newest BOB&TOM album, Odd Balls. Did we mention that his book would make a great gift?

The Road Dog
He's big, he's bald, and he goes by the name Road Dog. Don Reese may not look like your typical comedian, but he's the star of MTV's highest rated Half Hour Comedy Hour of all time. Don's standup (AKA - It Came From Iowa) has also been featured on A&E's Evening at the Improv and he recently released his first comedy album, Go Change Your Pants.
