When Geeks Get Into Stand-Up Comedy
When he wasn't manning the Budweiser Freshness hotline and keeping the world safe from skunky beer as the famous “Bud Delivery Guy,” Don McMillan spent his time becoming a nationally recognized, headlining standup comedian. Aside from his work in commercials for Budweiser, 7-11 and Little Caesar’s Pizza, Don has become one of the premier corporate comedians, and as far as we know, the only standup that comes equipped with PowerPoint. With his geeky background as an engineer for the likes of IBM and AT&T, Don is leading the way in technological humor, the best of which can be found on his new comedy DVD Technically Funny 2.0. Those of you who prefer your comedy to be presented on screen, you can look for Don in the feature film, Don: Plain and Tall.Check out and check out Don's MYSPACE site.

Surprise, It's Kevin Pollak
Actor, comedian and master impressionist Kevin Pollak surprised us with a phone call early Friday morning, but this was more than just a friendly ring. Kevin wanted to inform us about his new film, Numb (co-starring Matthew Perry), which will be premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival between April 26th and May 6th. He's also developed a new "Larry King Game" and finally has Christopher Walken shirts available. Check his website for details on all three.

A Man on the Move
Comedian Ruben Paul, not to be confused with the actor who played Pee Wee Herman or the fat guy who won American Idol a few years back, has been keeping pretty busy. Not only does he have a new album in the works, his also been testing the waters of the acting world. Ruben has appeared in the movies Ground Control, Deliver Us From Eva and Pensacola Wings among others. As you can see, Ruben is a man on the movie, but he still finds time to continue his work on the road touring the comedy club circuit.

FACTOID - If you go to his website, you'll notice Ruben Paul is wearing a Dodgers hat in most of his pictures. We don't know if he's really a fan, or just trying to kiss up to Bob.

He Just Wants
to Be Funny
Way back in the first grad, Michael Kosta knew he wanted to be funny when he grew up. Having never met him, we don’t know if he's ever achieved that lofty goal, but we do know he has become a standup comedian, so chances are he did. Formerly an athlete on the professional tennis tour, you can now find Michael in comedy clubs across the country as well as on TV in an episode of Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham. According to Kosta, you’ll know it’s him when you see the “very tall, very handsome, and very funny” guy.

The Word of Aug
The ranting, raving comedian from Montana, Auggie Smith is heading back to the studio and you'd better believe he's enter the studio with his guns blazing. From the first moment we met Auggie, he became one of our favorite young comedians, and his comedy pieces on drinking, Bed Bath & Beyond and leading a religious cult have become show classics. Because Aug finds his material in the absurdities of everyday people, situations and politics, he's never had a problem finding new targets on which to take aim . Be warned, if you listen to Smith's ranting long enough, you too will find yourself following "The Word of Aug." But is that really such a bad thing? Auggie has appeared on two previous B&T albums including Happy Hour, on which he talks about the time he had to drive his dad home from the bar when he was only 9 years old.

The Amazing
Dan Mengini
Dan Mengini may sound like the name of a magician, but the way he gets audiences to laugh is no illusion. He may not be the next David Blaine, but he has been described as a guy who’s “too worried about too little, but not smart enough to do anything about it.” Dan has appeared in numerous TV spots, and is a regular in comedy clubs across the country. Dan’s jokes are also as fresh as they are funny because as he likes to say, if it’s been done before, you won’t see it at his show.

Putting the K
Back in Comedy
You truly never know what to expect when Scotty K, former teen councilor and son of a Southern Baptist Preacher, hits the stage. No two shows are ever alike as Scotty skillfully incorporates his outlook on life and mixes it with his ADHD delivery to produce a sidesplitting observational style of humor. From the moment you first meet Mr. K (even if it's just passing him in the hallway or next to him at a urinal), you won’t be able to help but get caught up in his limitless energy and hysterical point of view. Scotty has been seen on BET Comic View, Comcast Comedy Spotlight and of course, The Weather Channel.

The Tour Continues
We love comedian Mike Birbiglia so much, that it would be almost unbearable to go more than two weeks without hearing from him. Fortunately, that's not going to happen. We've even set him up with a special ISDN line to the studio so when he dials in, it'll sound like he's right here next to us. For those of you who don't know Mike, he is man of deep thoughts. He's a man who sleepwalks. But, he's also a traveling comedian (who occasionally gets into car accidents) which means he's not only on the road a lot, he's also got plenty of free time. Mix those three factors together and you end up with a little something he likes to call his Secret Public Journal. The Legions of adoring fans who have signed up for his newsletter get his very secret yet very public writings e-mailed directly to them on a regular basis, but out of respect for those who haven't joined, Mike is taking his musings on a little something he likes to call his Sleepwalk Across America Tour.

When the Leaves
Blow Away
He’s dry, he's a master of misdirection, and he sounds like he’s always half asleep or depressed. He is comedian Steven Wright. With a unique style and instantly identifiable delivery, Steven is a legend in the world of comedy and still ranks among the best comics performing today. And though he's been working regularly over the years, he's largely been absent from TV. Last year, he released his first TV special in nearly two decades and this year, he's coming out with a new DVD project, When the Leaves Blow Away. The DVD includes a recent standup performance in Toronto, a classic performance from 1988 and his short film, One Soldier. We're getting excited just thinking about it. And we know he's excited about it too, even if he doesn’t sound like it on the phone.

Second Only to
American Idol
Sure, he's no Sanjaya, but we're still happy that it's time again for that fabulous feature, The Zany Report, as brought to you each week by Bob Zany. This man of comedic courage runs the comedy gauntlet every Tuesday, hoping that his report will lead to roaring laughter throughout the studio. And though he normally falls just a bit short, this legendary talent refuses to give up or give in. Also, one lucky fan will attempt to improve a Zany punchline by playing Fix The Joke, Baby (live) where they can win a boatload of prizes including a one year BOB&TOM VIP membership, a couple of ultra cool T-shirts and a whole lot more!
