On the Run From Sallie Mae
According to his media kit, Mark Sweeney is
a "professional comedian," even though his credits also
include acting roles in "Boston Public", "The Visitor",
and "Days of Our Lives." Sweenz has starred in several
independent films (we assume this means he's done a lot of porn).
The four years he spent in the US Marines were either forgettable
or he just can't remember them, but he does recall that at some
point he went to college, worked about 12 jobs in four years and
has been on the run from the student loan collectors ever since. |

Scheft's Bestseller Now
In Paperback
You help a guy sell thousands of books and all of a sudden he’s
your best friend. Normally we’d be a little suspicious
of someone like this, but we enjoy Bill
Scheft’s phone calls too much
to think any thing of it. Besides, if a novel is as good as
The
Ringer, it deserves to be flying off bookshelves. Speaking
of Scheft's best-selling book, The
Ringer is now being sold in paperback
editions. Scheft is an accomplished comedic writer who, when
not working on his second novel, is a monologue writer for the
Late
Show w/ David Letterman, a show he'll make a guest appearance
on Friday, June 27. And if you've already read The
Ringer (both editions) and still crave
more Scheft, he also writes an extremely funny weekly column
in Sports Illustrated.

He May Be the Best
Two comedians, unprompted on separate occasions,
told us that the best comedian we will have on the air all year
is Pablo
Francisco. This puts a lot of pressure on the young standup
comic, but from what we hear, he’s more than ready to live
up to this billing. Pablo’s popularity comes from his energetic
stage presence and ability to act out his comedy and paint vivid
imagery with voices, sound effects, and story telling. If you
miss his first appearance on the BOB&TOM Show, you may just
miss the show of the year? Do you want that hanging over your
head? We didn’t think so.

Proving Multiple Personalities Can Be Fun
Having been a long time member of the famed
sketch comedy troop Second City, it’s no wonder comedian
Mike Lukas’
comedy show is more like a one-man improv show than your typical
standup routine. Lukas is a Tonight
Show veteran that rarely ever seems
like himself. Instead, he portrays an entire cast of characters;
seamlessly moving from personality to personality transforming
himself in the process. In short, Mike Lukas isn’t just
a good comedian he’s also a fun bunch of guys.

Frank Caliendo & Friends
Frank
Caliendo
is one of the most impressive impressionist working today. What
makes him such a coveted talent is that the range of characters
he can imitate is so vast. Few if any comedians can match Caliendo's
versatility when it comes to performing as John Madden, Ted
Knight, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Al Pacino, Jim Rome and
many more. He can pull these voices out in an instant and will
often have the different characters involved in conversations
with one another. Just listening on the radio, you'd swear the
room was full of celebrities, but in fact, it's just Frank Caliendo,
and his multiple personalities. Caliendo can be seen each week
on the sketch comedy show MAD
TV, and he regularly appears on
the FOX Sports Network, and Jimmy
Kimmel Live.
Special Offer
- Frank Caliendo has just released a new comedy CD, Frank
on the Radio, and for a limited time BOB&TOM listeners
only can order this album and have it sent to their house with
free shipping by clicking

He's
With Busey
Comedian/writer/actor/magician Adam
de la Pena has successfully turned his hobby of following
(stalking) actor Gary Busey into a TV show. Adam now stars in
Comedy Central’s new reality Series,
I’m With Busey in which the always-unpredictable
Gary Busey lets de la Pena follow him around and share in his
wacky adventures. Whether they are walking through the desert
looking for a “Magic Indian,” dressing up like women,
or fighting each other with spears, its all just another normal
day for Gary. I’m With Busey
airs every Tuesday on Comedy Central
FACTOID
- Working with Comedy Central is nothing new to de la Pena.
He got his start as a writer on The Man Show,
and then assisted the writing team on Crank Yankers.

The Best Part of Waking
Up
Bob Zany is very excited that Tuesday is finally here, and that
means it's time for a brand new edition of the Zany
Report. Though the report is usually
very entertaining, and extremely funny... sometimes it's not
(like last week). That's why Bob archives every edition of the
Zany Report on BobZany.com.
Now you can play Fix-the-Joke Baby, rewrite his jokes, and show
him where he went wrong. While you're there, why not purchase
the always-popular "Eat Salmon The Other Pink Meat,"
or "Papa Eat Now" shirts? They're perfect for changing
oil, painting houses, and any other types of yard work.
