 Keeping
You
Up All Night
Can't sleep? Neither can Dave
Attell. Not while he's still hosting Comedy Central's adult
themed program Insomniac.
On the show, viewers get to follow Dave around during his late
night adventures through various cities around the world including
London, Key West, and Las Vegas, all known for their outrageous
nightlife. Mix in Attell's wise cracking (and non stop drinking),
and you've got a show that will keep you up all night. Insomniac
airs on Comedy Central,
but if Dave's odd hours are too much to handle, you can buy
the Best
of Insomniac on DVD. Currently, Dave's returning to his
roots in standup by hitting the comedy club scene, and bringing
his foul-mouthed, sophomoric and tawdry brand of comedy back
to the stage.

 Quick
Change
Greg Morton
is so funny that you'll start laughing just by looking at him,
and we don't mean that in the hurtful way. That's because Morton
has the ability to contort his rubber-like face and morph himself
into any number of famous celebrities including Prince, Ross
Perot, Tina Turner and Mick Jager. He knows this doesn't translate
well over radio, which is why he often falls back on his prowess
as a standup comedian. When you see Greg Morton live you'll
be experiencing a bona fide scholar, multi-voiced, syntactically
sound and physically hyper act, which includes an impression
of the entire Star Wars trilogy
(the good one) and a closing performance unlike anything you've
seen on a comedy stage.

A Double G-Lo Shot
When longtime friend of the show, George
Lopez was given his own sitcom, strategically titled, George
Lopez (so that they could never do the show without him)
he wanted to make sure it wasn't your average cookie-cutter
comedy, where all life's problems could be solved between commercial
breaks. Judging by the ratings, and the fact the show has been
picked up for more new episodes, he's succeeded. This means
the countdown to syndication (and early retirement) has begun.
This week on the show, clumsy factory worker Amy (Sandra Bullock)
returns from six months in the hospital as wedding plans progress
between George's mom and Amy's ex-boyfriend. Get a double shot
of George Lopez
this week as two episodes lead off ABC's
TGIF lineup.

 A
Cross To Bear
Comedian David
Cross has made his way back onto television in the hit FOX
sitcom Arrested
Development as the oddball actor Tobias Funke. The
show has been critically acclaimed for its unique style and
writing, but this is nothing new to Cross. He’s received
similar praise for his past work on The
Ben Stiller Show and Mr. Show
with Bob and David, for which he earned and Emmy and
a Cable Ace Award nomination. Before going into acting, Cross
spent time as a standup comedian; he found he had a knack for
it while attending college. From there, David made his way into
sketch comedy with his good buddy Bob Odenkirk. When not performing
comedy in one form or another, Cross is an excellent poker player,
something he proved by finishing 2nd in the in the Celebrity
Poker Championship. Cross’ fans can catch him on
Arrested Development every Sunday
night on FOX, but even bigger fans should pick up his brand
new album It’s
Not Funny, for something to do the rest of the week.

 The
Doctor is In
Having access to the VIP Studio Cam
is about to pay off in two big ways. Comedienne Tammy
Pescatelli and her “titonies” are returning to
the Friggemall Complex for a morning of fun, laughs, and arguing
with Chick. Miss Pescatelli is by far one of our favorite female
guests… so much so that we’ve had her on as guest
news anchor in the past. "Dr. Dago" (Tammy’s
evil alter ego) is not only a Tonight
Show veteran, she's also voiced the lead roles in the
B&T bits “Doggy Style Beer” and “Sheetos”
and recently spent time with the USO entertaining troops overseas.
FACTOID - Tammy Pescatelli was one of
the first on-air victims of Chick's famous "one-handed
bra removal."

|  Auggie
Doggie
The ranting, raving, gun fighting comedian from Montana, Auggie
Smith, was so much fun last month when he stopped by that
our audience was demanding his return as soon as possible. Well,
your prayers have been answered. Having fresh material with
only a few weeks separating visits is normally a pretty tall
order for your run of the mill comedian, but as we all know,
Auggie's no ordinary comic... he's the "rant master."
Because Aug finds his comedy in the absurdities of everyday
people, situations and politics, he's never had a problem finding
new sources of inspiration (unless those antidepressants his
girlfriend prescribed start to kick in). "The Word of Aug"
and the rest of Smith's rapid-fire, seamless stream of manic
blasts will, on occasion, slip into the dark side of political
incorrectness. But it's all good, and it all makes perfect sense...
at least to Auggie.
Side Note
- You can now purchase Auggie's
brand new CD and DVD, Cult Following,
on his website.

Done the Zany Way
Comedian Bob
Zany may not realize it by the way we treat him when he
calls in, but he's our most eagerly anticipated guest each week.
There are few comedians working today that have the guts it
takes to come on a nationally syndicated radio show every week
and perform all new material. Then to top it all off, he invites
listeners to call in and fix his jokes that some have deemed
'virtually laugh free.' Sounds fun doesn't it? Catch The
Zany Report so you too can play "Fix
the Joke Baby" where the prize package includes CDs, t-shirts,
and a BOB&TOM VIP membership.

And You Thought 39 Days on
an Island was Tough
If you thought the game of Survivor was grueling, just imagine
doing it with the Wildman of Rock N’ Roll, Ted Nugent breathing
down your neck. That’s right, VH1’s hit reality series
Surviving
Nugent is back for a second season of the kind crazy outdoors
fun and weapon wielding action that only Ted Nugent could provide.
Eight to ten contestants will be thrown headlong into this ultimate
outdoorsman ranch on Nugent’s compound in Waco, Texas to
compete in twisted challenges that emphasize pure survival skills,
something the Nugent family knows a lot about. Along with being
a legendary rocker and reality show host, Ted is also an author.
He and his wife Shemane compiled a list of their favorite wild
game recipes in the book Kill
It & Grill It.
 A
Blast from the Past
The last time Nugent visited the
Friggemall compound, he took to the fields and demonstrated how
to properly kill a guitar by taking aim and shooting it repeatedly
with a bow and arrow. You can relive the entire event with the
help of this classic photo
gallery. The
guitar was auctioned off for charity, something Ted does often.
"Whenever I give away the hunting gear, that always seems
to pull in the most money. Just goes to show that all those hunters
out there are kind and generous people," says Nugent.

 The
Shii Devil Goes Down Fighting
With her final speech at Tribal Council,
Shii Ann Huang (formerly of Survivor:
Thailand) proved that she wasn't going
to go down without a fight. Though it looks like she succeeded
in stirring things up among her tribemates, her words weren't
enough to save her from the vote. After her former tribe of
Mogo Mogo was taken apart one by one, Shii Ann found herself
on the losing end of a 5-1 numbers game. She desperately tried
to convince the others that they needed to use her to help break
up Boston Rob and Amber, but in the end she was unable to crack
the strong ties between the remaining Chaperans. Without immunity
to save her this week, Shii Ann was cast out of the tribe, but
not before she pointed the finger at Amber, warning the remaining
players to keep an eye on the young beauty, or else she'd be
the one walking away with $1 Million. Two episodes of Survivor:
All-Stars remain with only five players left to duke it
out for the grand prize. Will it be Tom, Rupert, Rob, Amber
of Jenna that misses out on the final four?
The only way to find out is to watch Survivor
All-stars, Thursday nights on CBS.
