Steve's Doing Some Comedy!
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.

Survey Says
The great game shows never die, but they do need face lifts from time to time. This includes the only game that pits families of five against one another, trying to find the most popular answers to survey questions, the Family Feud. Richard Karn, once Tim Allen’s sidekick “Al” on Home Improvement, is the newest host of the Feud, though he's had this job now for over two years. Richard not only had the daunting task of filling the shoes of larger than life comedian Louis Anderson, he’s also following in the footsteps of the great Richard Dawson (who never met a contestant he wouldn’t kiss) and Ray Combs (who could barley see over the host podium). Though he’s an accomplished stage, film and television actor, many fans of the show were wondering how he would do as a host? Survey (and the ratings) says… just fine.

FACTOID - Richard Karn worked as an apartment building manager prior to his success on "Home Improvement", and even maintained that job during the show's first season until he knew that Home Improvement would be successful.

Not Exactly Red on the Head Anymore
Todd Yohn doesn’t have the red hair anymore, but his new look hasn’t hampered his comedy in any way. His off the wall antics, improvisational comedy and catchy songs are as funny as ever, and if you haven’t seen Todd perform live, you’re missing out on a show that Tommy G. calls one of the funniest he’s ever seen. Yohn is one of the rare performers who can get any audience to laugh with just a look or a lip quiver. But he's got much more in his arsenal than that. When he joins us in the studio, he comes equipped with his handy guitar and belts out tunes tunes like Orange Barrels, Feminine Hygiene, and Daddy Please Don't Go. His most recent song, Coochie, appeared on the BOB&TOM album Sideshow.

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 an obscure topic. Tim’s always a joy to have in the studio, even when he's not being backed up by the world famous Cavanettes, and especially when he hosts Jeopardy for Dummies.

Sometimes The Best Isn't Good Enough
Long before The Beatles became a worldwide phenomenon, they were just a young bar band performing in Liverpool, England. And before Ringo Starr took a seat behind that famous set of drums, the job belonged to the “Fifth Beatle,” Pete Best. Rudolph Peter Best became one of the founding members of the Fab Four back in 1959 when he was asked to join Paul, George and John’s band, then known as the Quarrymen. He played with The Beatles during their 1960-61 tour, but was asked to leave the group in 1962 for reasons that still aren’t totally clear. Best would go on to form other groups including The Pete Best Combo and The Pete Best Band but was never really able achieved the same level of success that his former group enjoyed. Today, Best continues to tour with his band, as well as appear at speaking engagements in which he’ll give talks about his experiences as a member of The Beatles and take part in Q&A sessions. We had Best on the phone just a few weeks ago, but now he's back and will be live in the studio for the first time.

FACTOID – Some of The Beatles songs featuring Pete Best on drums appeared on the album The Beatles Anthology: 1.

Taking "All You Can Eat" To the Extreme
According to the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE), competitive eating is the next big thing in sports. Anyone can put a ball in a hoop, or catch a 30 yard bullet pass, but it takes a real athlete to down over 50 hot dogs in a single sitting. According to IFOCE President Richard Shea, the best part of competitive eating is that there is no such thing as an off season. From the Glutton Bowl, to Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, the "athletes" of the IFOCE travel the country all year long, shoveling as much food into their mouths as is humanly possible. The next big event on this leg of the tour the World Vienna Sausage Eating Contest in Charlotte, NC at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in the heart of NASCAR country.

His Reputation is in Jeopardy
From June 2 to November 30 of 2004, brainiac Ken Jennings defeated 150 challengers and gave over 2700 correct responses to subjects ranging from Shakespeare to Hip Hop and in doing so won over $2.5 Million on the popular quiz show, Jeopardy! He not only set the record for number of victories on Jeopardy! and the record for most money ever won on a television game show, he also raised the show’s ratings by 22% and helped make the highest rated syndicated program on television. In response to this unbelievable streak, Jeopardy! decided to hold a tournament to see who the greatest champion of all time was. They invited every previous tournament winner and five-time champion and pitted them against one another until only two remained. Those two, along with Ken Jennings are now in a heated three-episode battle to see who will walk away with the $2 million grand prize, and the title of the best ever.
