 Hangin'
With Mr. Curry
Mark Curry was a class clown since his earliest days
in school and it was during these years that he decided a life
of stand-up comedy was the right choice for him. The next step
was to find a place to perfect his skills… and for Mark,
that place was a local drug store. From these humble beginnings,
Curry has become one of the more popular comedians touring today,
and is often recognized from his staring role in the hit sitcom
Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper,
or as the host of Showtime at the Apollo.

 It's
a "Dunn" Deal
Scott Dunn was a marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company,
but he had a different dream that just wouldn't go away. He wanted
to become a writer and comedian, but after college ended, Dunn
got a "real good job" that he wasn't too happy doing.
One day he came to a realization that "if I don't make this
attempt to do this, then I'm going to regret it for the rest of
my life." So he quit his job, moved to New York City and
has been writing and performing comedy ever since. |

|  Zany
Report:
Wednesday Edition
The lovable Bob
Zany normally shares his always new and sometimes funny
Zany Report on Tuesdays, but this
week he's a day late. This legendary comic and all around great
guy, is going to be bringing his A-material for what is going
to be the biggest, funniest, most spectacular report of year
(no pressure, Bob). If you aren’t laughing when it’s
all said and done, you can always go to BobZany.com
and test your hand at punch line writing by playing Fix
The Joke Baby. Pick up one of those "Papa Eat Now"
T-shirts while you're at it. Plus, it's the return of the popular
Bing Crosby Joke of the Week!
Side Note
– When Bob Zany was informed about our expectations for
this week's report, he quickly scrapped what he had already
written, and began working on new material.

Mario Walks
Away From Crash & Indy 500 Return
Just a few days after racing legend Mario
Andretti announced he was considering a return to the Indianapolis
500, he was involved in a horrible accident while testing a
car for his son's racing team. Andretti crashed between
turns one and two after running over debris from Kenny Brack's
car (see exclusive
video from WTHR), causing him to flip several times. Amazingly,
Mario walked away from the accident without a scratch, but he
later decided that he'd also be walking away from the race as
well. Though it's disappointing the 63-year-old Andretti won't
become the oldest driver in 500 history, we're all thankful
his last time around the track didn't turn out to be his LAST
time around the track. And since he won't be racing, Mario can
instead spend the month of May sipping wine from his winery.
Michael Andretti Charity Auction
Mario's son, and Indy racing legend in his own rite Michael
Andretti announced today an online
auction of race-worn and collectible items, as well as the
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of his pit crew for
the final race of his career, the 2003 Indianapolis 500. The
auction will be held online
beginning April 25, 2003 and will culminate in a combination
live and online auction May 10, 2003, ending at 10:30 p.m. EDT.
SIDE NOTE - "Good morning race fans..." As
always, when talk of racing returns to the BOB&TOM show,
so to does our very own "Track Dude," Michael
Young.

George's Summer Vacation
George
Lopez, the
hit comedy series created by longtime friend of the show George
Lopez (ironically enough), is wrapping up its sophomore
season on ABC,
which means G-Lo has a nice little summer break ahead of him.
He can relax and enjoy himself knowing that while many other
series are left in limbo wondering if they’ll be brought
back in the fall, he’s already been signed to do a third
season. Whether he’s making friends with Sammy Hagar, introducing
us to his executive producer Sandra
Bullock, or telling us how he stole the president’s
speech in DC, its always an adventure when Lopez calls in.

Dick Smothers, Uncensored
The
Smothers Brothers, Dick & Tom, were two of the most
influential comedians of the 60’s. Needless to say, their
show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy
Hour became a big hit with audiences
when it began its run on CBS. It was just a typical variety
program until its humor began to push the envelope a bit more
than the censors were comfortable with, especially when it came
to the Vietnam War. The story of this behind the scenes battle
has recently been captured in the new Bravo documentary, Smothered.
In it, many of those involved are interviewed,
and questions surrounding the cancellation of the show are answered.
Though one question still remains. Did mother Smothers really
like Dick best?
