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 hes 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? |

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.
