Bill Engvall Stars in Delta Farce
It was over a decade ago that Bill Engvall first became famous for his “Here’s Your Sign,” standup routine, and though that phrase helped launch into pop culture, it still can't compare with the fame that came from being part of the fab four known as The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Along with Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy, Engvall took over the comedy would with tours, TV Shows, CD's and best selling DVDs. And while the Blue Collar shows may be over, Engvall hasn't slowed down a bit. He's starring in his own sitcom on TBS, his new movie with Larry the Cable Guy, Delta Farce, opens this Friday, and he recently released a new comedy CD, 15° Off Cool, which is available everywhere.

And He Cuts His Own Hair
According to Eddie Ifft, all it took was one magical open mic night in a comedy club to convince him to leave the insurance business and pursue standup as a full-time career. His father tells the story a little different. In his version, Eddie was fired. Either way, Ifft left for New York city and has never looked back. From Comedy Clubs and Colleges to hosting Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, Ifft has taken advantage of his time. He’s also appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, NBC’s Friday Night, Jerry Seinfeld's Comedian and was the man-on-the-street for the Queen Latifa Show. screen, Though he remains busy, he does still find time for his other passions, golfing, skiing and cutting his own hair.

A Vague But True History
Over the past 20 years Tim Bedore has spent thousands of hours entertaining audiences. He began his career on the radio but soon discovered that he preferred the instant laughs and feedback only a live audience can provide. That's when he decided it was time to move in the direction of standup comedy. Since then, Tim's headlined comedy clubs across the country and is one of the few comedians whose standup comedy is just as funny on paper as it is on stage. Bedore has written and recorded nearly 300 editions of his popular editorial, Vague But True, many of which he's read on show during his weekly Wednesday feature by the same name. A handful of these have appeared on BOB&TOM albums, including the ones about messing with SkyMall Magazines and spending summers at his lake cabin.

Let's Go to the Phones
It’s time again for everyone’s favorite weekly feature, The Zany Report starring comedy legend Bob Zany. In case you’re new to the show or are unfamiliar with the concept of The Zany Report, we’ll explain how it works. Every Tuesday, Bob Zany calls in to deliver a handful of jokes based on current events and comical news stories. Though his intention is to present a report that is hilarious from top to bottom, it doesn’t always work out this way. Of course as good hosts, BOB&TOM are always kind enough to point out which of his jokes came up a little short in the laughs department. This is where you the listener come into play because Zany then invites a lucky fan to call in and fix one of his flat punch lines in a little game he calls Fix-The-Joke Baby! Sounds easy, doesn’t it? To find out more, got to bobzany.com, baby!

Fast & Hot
NASCAR may still be the home of the “Good Ol’ Boys,” but when you talk about the leading lady of racing, you’d better turn your attention to the IRL. And what better time to do so than in the month of May with the world famous Indianapolis 500 rapidly approaching. For the past three years, IRL driver Danica Patrick has been the face, fan favorite and media darling of the series. With awesome driving skills and good looks to match, Danica’s become a top draw and biggest story to hit Indy Car Racing in quite some time. In her rookie season, Danica not only earned four poles, she also became the first woman ever to lead the Indy 500 (for 19 laps), the fastest woman qualifier of all time, and the first woman to finish in the top five. Though only in her third season, the lovely Danica is still looking for her first IRL victory. There’s no doubt in our minds that she’d like nothing more than to take her first checkered flag at the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

So far he's skewered George Washington, Jesus, Frankenstein, Buddha, the first Thanksgiving, and even the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. We've enjoyed these bits so much whenever Scott has dropped by, that B&T decided to make it a regular feature. We never know going on who or what the the roast will be about, but we do know it's going to be funny. It's not just comedy, it's infotainment.
