We Bet They Never Say His Name Right Over the PA
Comedian Costaki Economopoulos' humor has been described as smart, pointed, hip, sharp, insightful, socially relevant, and gut-laugh funny and he’s been described as a “casually brilliant joke philosopher.” Just look at his business card, it's all right there. Aside from standup comedy, Costaki is still looking for a full time staff writing position on a sitcom, so if anybody “knows a guy,” make sure to give him a call (he's in the book). But until that day comes, the biggest name in comedy is keeping busy with other projects, including the release of his new CD,
C'mon It's Jokes.

 

Tommy The Kid
Tommy Johnagin started his stand-up career at the ripe young age of eighteen. Tommy dropped out of college at twenty-one to pursue his dream and become a full time comedian. Tommy vows he will one day make enough money to pay his parents back for the six semesters of college he wasted. Tommy doesn’t curse on stage but doesn’t steer away from any topic. If it’s funny Tommy will say it.

 
Laugh Till You Puke
Michael Mack describes his style of comedy as “laugh till’ you puke,” so when he joins BOB&TOM on the air for the first time you’d better keep a bucket handy. Mack is a singer/songwriter comedian who’s song parodies are common place on the radio as well as comedy clubs, colleges and cruise ships. Along with the jokes, his live shows come fully equipped with light shows, impressions and music and usually end with a standing ovation (by the audience, not him). Now we don’t know this for a fact, but it comes from a very good source; Michael’s website. And why would he lie about something like that?
 

The South Will Rise Again
We received the news only a short time ago that we'd be joined in the studio by comedian Tim Wilson. But that's no surprise, we know he likes to keep his visits a secret so that Bob doesn't call in sick once he's found out. All kidding aside, Mr. Wilson is one of our absolute favorite guests and he's a a true "friend of the show." However, no comedian causes more of a stir when they appear on the air than the southern singer/songwriter (that's why he's the only one who has his own disclaimer). Along with his music, Wilson is recognized for his love of NASCAR and the state of Georgia and his distrust of almost everything else. If you need proof, just listen to the piece
The Aggravator, or his song Church League Softball Fistfight, both of which can be found on the album, Happy Hour.

 

Once A Marine, Always a Marine, or at Least Entertaining Them
Good friend of the show Mark Sweeney is a professional comedian, and a very good one at that, but that hasn't always been his career. You could call Sweeney-San a jack of all trades, considering he's served as a bus boy, construction worker, real estate agent, bartender and copier repairman. In the arena of performing, he's also been an actor, appearing on TV shows like Boston Public, Third Rock From the Sun, and Days of Our Lives. But looking through his resume, the occupation that stands out most is the four years he spent in the US Marines, or as he puts it, a full time job partying around the globe. That experience came in handy on his recent tour of Iraq where Sweenz was entertaining troops as part of the Comics on Duty World Tour.

FACTOID - Mark Sweeney is the oldest of six children, which he equates to being the emcee at a comedy club. You come out cold, have to break the ice and everyone expects you to suck

FACTOID - Mark fashioned his "new look" with inspiration from this famous mug shot of pernnial wacko Nick Nolte.

 
Amazing Ace!
Fans of the BOB&TOM Show remember when good friend, professional golfer and former Masters Champion Fuzzy Zoeller hit a hole-in-one live on the air. And while that was a remarkable feat, nothing compares to the ace he shot on national TV on the 16th Hole of the Alliance Championship. What made the shot so amazing is that when it first hit the ground, it was nowhere near the hole. Fuzzy's ball landed to the left of the green and stopped on the fringe for a good 10 seconds before it began to roll down toward and eventually in the hole. The shot was covered on the national news the video is all over the internet, but we've got Fuzzy live on the show to talk about it.
 

Get Out the Shovel,
Everything You Know
Is Wrong

John Stossel loves to uncover wrongdoings and point out misconceptions about society. And though you see him almost every week doing this as a reporter and co-host on ABC’s 20/20 and in special Give Me a Break segments, those are only an hour long. But as an author, Stossel can take up all the space he needs to really dig deep into the pile of lies that have built up all around us. In his new book, Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity, Stossel asks and answers questions like “Is the media unbiased?”, “Do single people have a better sex life than married people?”, “Are landfills taking over the world?,” and “Do we have less free time now than we used to?” Stossel is a 19-time Emmy Award winner and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. This is Stossels second book, and if it’s anything like his first, Give Me a Break, it should open a few eyes.

 

Animal Lover
Since Tim Bedore's popular segment, Vague But True, has become a regular feature on the BOB&TOM show, certain topics seem to pop up on a regular basis. One of the most popular subject matters has been the secret war raging between man and beast which Tim has dubbed the "Animal Conspiracy." The first installment of this larger work appeared on the album B&T Camel Toe almost two years ago, but as the news stories keep adding up and listener e-mails keep rolling in, Tim has had no choice but to continue informing the masses about this ongoing battle. Will the battle continue in this week's report? You'll just have to tune in to find out.

 

Dave Coulier is Back on the Road
After charming America as goofy “Uncle Joey” on the classic family sitcom Full House, and making everyone laugh as the host of America’s Funniest People, you may have believed comedian Dave Coulier had hit his peak of popularity. Well, you were wrong. Though he faded out of the spotlight for a few years, Coulier made his triumphant return to network television on the smash hit series, Skating with Celebrities. As a former hockey player and talented skater, Dave teamed up with Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan to compete on FOX's reality series. Though the team didn’t win, they were an audience favorite. If you didn’t catch him on the ice, you’ve probably heard him on any number of Saturday morning cartoons because along with being a skater , standup comedian and host of America's Most Talented Kids, Dave is also a very busy voice-over actor in Hollywood. Currently, Dave is back on the road performing at colleges and comedy clubs across America.

 

It's the Zany Report, Baby
The Zany Report is back and only the NBA finals could possibly compare to the excitement it brings. Bob Zany, legendary comedian and all around great guy, has confirmed that there is a possibility that this could be his greatest edition of the Zany Report ever! Though we're not going to bet the farm on this claim, as long as it's better than last week's Report, we'll be satisfied. Plus, let's not forget about America's favorite game show, "Fix the Joke Baby, Live!" where one lucky player will win Zany's popular comedy album, I Just Can't Win Baby, as well as a one year subscription to BOB&TOM's VIP.

 

How to Die a Happy Man
Though you may think it’s never too late for a guy to have a good time, you’re days of fun and freedom are numbered. That’s why author Tim Burke has written the new book Die Happy: 99 Things Every Guy’s Gotta Do While He Still Can. In it, Burke preaches that every guy has to do something audacious, ostentatious or just plain fun before he ‘settles down.’ What’s even better is that Burke takes the guessing game out of the equation. Now you don’t have to rack your brain trying to figure out what to do, you can just crack open the book and follow his lead. Find out how to get a ‘good job,’ score with women, and where to party all in one fun-filled guide.
