The Other Mr. Rogers
Kivi Rogers was just your average computer geek, working nine to five with a reputable company. Throughout the workday, he would pass the time and harass his coworkers with his quick wit and comical voices. Eventually (in what we think it was a clever ploy to get rid of him), his work mates were able to convince Kivi to try out his act on stage. When he was convinced he could do it, he not only did it, he did it well. Rogers won a comedy contest on his very first attempt, and has been going strong ever since. Kivi is a Tonight Show veteran and has also landed acting gigs on hit shows like The West Wing, Every Body Loves Raymond, and Dharma & Greg.

FACTOID - Kivi Rogers comes from a big family. He is the yongest of six brothers and one sister.

Thursday Starts the Weekend!
When comedian Greg Hahn takes the stage, he brings an energetic, all-out style of physical humor, one-liners and crowd work unlike you've ever seen. And once he get's going there's no stopping him because he doesn't have time for laughs, he's out to create immediate pandemonium and panic. Hahn will wear an audience out with his rapid-fire jokes leave them holding their sides, trying to catch their breath in no time. Though Hahn's resume includes numerous television appearances and headlining countless comedy clubs, his true calling may be as a speaker at corporate functions. Hahn is famous for stepping behind the podium during stuffy business events and pretending to be a guest speaker, only to launch into his bizarre antics. Needless to say, it takes everyone in attendance completely off guard.

FACTOID - Greg Hahn was the featured performer at last year's BOB&TOM Christmas party where he received a standing ovation.

The Man With
the Big Hands
Though he didn’t begin his career as a standup comic, there is absolutely nothing that could ever make Alonzo Bodden give it up now. Once he took the stage and got a taste of what it was like to entertain, Bodden was hooked and has not looked back since. Before comedy, Alonzo was an airline mechanic, working on everything from Lear jets to Stealth Bombers. It was during one of his stints as a trainer that Alonzo found he could leave a crowd in stitches without even having to pick up a wrench. All he needed was a little motivation to turn his natural comedic talent into a career in standup. This came in the form of being fired. Since then, Bodden has been touring the country, as well as traveling around the globe with the USO. According to Alonzo, this means he is the only guy who’s both built bombers and performed for their pilots.

FACTOID - After making it to the finals of Last Comic Standing's second season, Alonzo Bodden went on to WIN the $250 thousand grand prize on the third season of NBC's reality show.

He's Twisted
Described as one of the most twisted individuals you’ll ever see perform, Doug Stanhope has no problem telling people that his show might not be for them. He’s confrontational, vulgar, graphic, uninhibited and brutally honest, and these descriptions come from his own bio. With all that said, however, Doug is still considered to be one ot the best comedians performing today. He’s hosted The Man Show on Comedy Central as well as a couple of the Girls Gone Wild videos. When he’s not performing, Doug’s hobbies include writing prank letters to companies and baiting perverts in chat rooms.

Scotch Guard
Comedian Ron White has a comedy style that is as subtle as a nine-car pileup on the freeway. His stories, which usually involve his love of adult beverages, or being kicked out of somewhere (with one usually leading to the other), laugh in the face of conventional comedy. White’s not one to shy away from stating his point of view. He's blunt, and may be bit obnoxious, but somehow he makes this work for him on stage. To describe him as a testosterone-laden, good ol' boy with a Texan point of view would be an understatement, but it would explain why he teamed up with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy to form the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Though the other three from that tour now star in the sketch comedy show Blue Collar TV, Ron will be starring in his very own variety program called The Ron White Show, which will air this Thursday on The WB.

Don't Look Now, It's Rodney Carrington
If you don’t watch TV or regularly listen to the BOB&TOM Show, then chances are you haven’t heard that good friend of the show Rodney Carrington has is own sitcom, Rodney. For everyone else, this is old news. And though Rodney’s now a big time TV star, he is still finding time to head out on the road and perform his standup comedy, which includes all the jokes and music he can’t get past the ABC censors. Along with making frequent stops to sold out arenas and theaters, Carrington is also popping up all over the place on TV to promote his show which has seen a steady climb in the ratings. Check out the season finale of Rodney this Tuesday on ABC.

FACTOID – Rodney got his first record deal after he was heard performing the song "Fred" on the BOB&TOM Show

Hits & Giggles
Tim Cavanagh is a man who can write a song about anything. What's even more impressive is that most of the time he can perform them in under a minute. Just check out his two most recent CD’s, The One Minute Song volumes 1 & 2 to see for yourself. In these tunes, Tim tackles topics ranging from having a house full of dead baboons to America's under appreciation of Columbus Day, and each one is accompanied by his often overlooked guitar stylings. Cavanagh has been featured on ten different B&T albums and is the man we turn to whenever we need a tribute to something obscure. Tim’s always a joy to have in the studio, even when he's not being backed up by the world famous Cavanettes, especially when he hosts Jeopardy for Dummies.
