Cease and Desist
Kyle Cease began his comedy career at age seven by negotiating a deal with his second grade teacher. If he would cease goofing off during class, she would give him five minutes at the end of class to entertain the students. Normally this type of behavior leads to a life of crime, in Kyle's case, it turned into a profession. At age 18 Kyle became the youngest headlining comedian in the Pacific Northwest, where he performed for numerous colleges, clubs and corporate events. He found out quickly that his humor appealed to more than second graders. At age 20, after winning the Giggles Comedy Competition and he landed his first movie role in the film 10 Things I Hate About You. This prompted Kyle to make the move to Hollywood where his comedy career began to soar, and his acting jobs increased by landing roles in several national commercials and as "the slow clapper" in the spoof comedy Not Another Teen Movie. He was also recently featured in Stuff Magazine.

Crazy About Animals
Since early childhood, Jeff Corwin has been an animal nut. His work in helping the conservation of endangered species and ecosystems around the world has made him somewhat of a superstar in the animal community. Jeff is still working with animals but has moved his operations to the network made exclusively for critters, Animal Planet. Jeff, formerly the hose host the very popular program The Jeff Corwin Experience, is now heading up the brand new show, Corwin's Quest. On Quest, Jeff travels the world in search of creatures that take survival behaviors to the extreme; whether it’s an alligator in the Florida Everglades demonstrating his bone-rattling mating bellow or the African pachyderms attending Elephant College, where they’re trained to sniff out poachers. The series launches Animal Planet’s new destination night, Wild Wednesdays.

Paddy G. In Da House
Not only is comedian Pat Godwin a fantastic songwriter and excellent guitarist with the uncanny ability to mimic the voice and style of almost any other artist you can name, he's also become a member of the family over the years. That's easy to see too, because Godwin has been a major part the past few BOB&TOM albums with multiple tracks including the now classic Gangsta Folk, The Legend of John Fox and C'est La Vie. However, even if you hear him perform one of these songs you know by heart, it's always a new experience because Pat rarely sings a song the same way twice. So pour a bowl of Lucky Charms and get your keg of Guinness ready as Pat Godwin helps us kick off another week of the BOB&TOM Show.
