Law and Disorder
Carlos Alazraqui portrays the slightly racist, and somewhat dimwitted member of the Reno Nevada Sheriff’s Department otherwise known as Dep. James Garcia Comedy Central's cop show spoof, Reno 911!, but he's also a very talented standup comedian and voice-over actor. If you've ever tuned in to Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon, you're sure to have heard his voice on any number of popular cartoons including Cat/Dog, Juniper Lee, Fairly Odd Parents, and Camp Lazlo. He was also the voice behind the wildly popular Taco Bell "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" campaign.But now that it's summer and the filming season has ended, Carlos has headed back on the road performing stand-up comedy. So make sure to look for Carlos in a club near you this summer, and then in Theaters next year when the Reno 911! movie hits the big screen.
 

Comedy, Plain and Simple
If you’re looking for a hysterically funny show that is packed with clean and insightful comedy, comedy Steve Bruner says he’s got just what you’re looking for. Now, you may be wondering if he has any credentials to back up this claim. Let’s take a look. He’s been featured on Showtime’s Comedy Club Network and An Evening at the Improv, was a joke writer for The Tonight Show, and has starred in three feature films. He also enjoys tennis, ping-pong sailing and soccer. We don’t know what that has to do with being funny but thought we might as well throw theses tidbits in there just for the hell of it.
 

And There's More...
If you’ve never been down to the The Purple Rose Theater for a "Live and Unplugged" show, you probably wouldn’t know that actor Jeff Daniels is also an accomplished musician. Though he’s been performing music for over 30 years, most people on know him from his roles in hit films like Terms of Endearment, Something Wild, The Hours and Dumb & Dumber. Jeff joined us in the studio last year when he released his first album, Live and Unplugged, and played a few of his favorite cuts. He's currently set to start recording his second album so we're hoping to hear a little about that, and maybe whatever new film projects he's got in the works.
 

You've Heard Words to Remember...
Tim Bedore has been a weekly Wednesday fixture on the show with his Vague But True editorials, which is why we're so eager to find out what his next installment will be about. Over the past year, these musings have helped us learn a lot about Tim, including his thoughts on how women cause wars, and the speech he would have given if universities had asked him to talk to their graduates (both of which can be found on the upcoming B&T album Donkey Show). But no matter the topic, we're happy he'll be reporting on it from his new home up north, where the introverts stare at their shoes and the extroverts stare at your shoes. In other exciting news, Tim's new CD, Vague But True, is hot off the presses. Get your copy of this new CD featuring over 30 of Tim's best VBT's to date.
 

Open Mic'er
Comedian, corporate speaker and world-class voice-over talent Dave Dugan has been compared to comedy legend Bob Newhart in that he plays the part of the everyman victim to perfection. With a dry delivery, wealth of material and unbelievably deep voice, Dugan has made it big on the standup scene, headlining clubs across the country. However, where Dave is able to utilize his talents most effectively is during his corporate speaking gigs. Dugan is famous for walking into a speaking engagement as an imposter; posing as a new hire in the company's upper management or even as a desperate, pathetic competitor. A long time friend of the show, Dugan has appeared in a number of classic B&T bits, both as himself and as Sid Gurney's best buddy, Bart McAlister.

FACTOID - Dave Dugan is the voice that reminds viewers that Steak 'n Shake is "famous for Steakburgers" at the end of each of the popular restaurant chain's commercials.
 

Getting to Know Nathan Timmel
He didn’t really spend a lot of time providing a bio or background on his website, but all the ladies in the building are happy that comedian Nathan Timmel did post plenty of pictures and videos of himself. But even if we can’t find out much about Nathan, he’s reputation for being an extremely funny guy proceeds him. Coming in, we’ve got high expectations for this young comedian to deliver a load of laughs and we’re hoping maybe he’ll even tell us a little about himself.
 

Not What You're Expecting
After watching Eddie Murphy perform for the first time, Warren B. Hall knew at the age of 10 that he wanted to become a standup comedian. Then, after his mother gave him a good beating him for using the 'F-word' while practicing, Hall decided he would take a cleaner, more topical approach to comedy than his often foul-mouthed idol. When looking back, it's these two pivotal moments that have helped him attain his dream, which he is taking full advantage of. Hall has worked with the USO tour of the Middle East where he performed at military bases for our troops, but if you didn't happen to catch those shows, you may recognize him from his television commercial work or from various clubs here in the States. Hall is a self-proclaimed 98% clean comic who doesn't shy away from adult innuendo, but can be enjoyed by the entire family, even pets. Aside from comedy, Warren B. Hall is also an author, and has published a book, Pieces of Me.
 
 

Another Zany Tuesday
Comedian Bob Zany may not realize it by the way we treat him when he calls in, but he's our most eagerly anticipated guest each week. There are few comedians working today that have the guts it takes to come on a nationally syndicated radio show every week and perform all new material. Then to top it all off, he invites listeners to call in and fix the jokes that some (meaning Tom) have deemed 'virtually laugh free.' Sounds fun doesn't it? Catch The Zany Report every Tuesday so you too can play "Fix the Joke Baby" where the prize package includes CDs, t-shirts, and a BOB&TOM VIP membership.
