Bill Scheft Returns to the Studio
One of our all time favorite guests is finally returning to
the Friggemall Complex, and for the first time ever, we will
have Bob Kevoian and Bill Sheft
in the studio at the same time. Sheft is in the midst of a book
tour promoting the release of his best-selling novel, The
Ringer, in paperback editions. Scheft is an accomplished
comedic writer who, when not working on his second novel (or
filling in for Bob when he goes on Nudie Beach Vacations), is
a monologue writer for the Late
Show w/ David Letterman, and writes an extremely funny
weekly column in Sports Illustrated.
He was also, at one time, a standup comedian.

Making a Joke Out
of Reality TV
Stand up comedian, and friend of the show,
Rich Vos
can now add 'Reality TV Contestant' to his credits. He and nine
other comedians are taking part in the new show Last
Comic Standing, which is part
Big Brother,
part 'Open Mic Night' at a comedy club. The program finds out
what happens when 10 comedians are forced to live together and
compete  against
one another for the ultimate prize, a talent contract with NBC.
Each week, the comics take part in immunity challenges, with
the losers facing elimination from the show and only a hilarious
standup act can save them from getting the hook. Check out Last
Comic Standing every Tuesday on NBC.
Also joining BOB&TOM from Last
Comic Standing is comedian Dave
Mordal, one of the nine remaining contestants. Dave faced
elimination last week, but was able to wow the audience with
his bit about local news to survive. Will he be able to do the
same with our audience?

Not Your Average Babysitter!
Christine Steadman started doing stand-up
to get out of babysitting grandchildren & has since become
a favorite at some of the top clubs in the country. Christine
hits
the
stage
with her unique perspectives on life and it's tribulatons. She's
a Las Vegas and Atlantic City favorite and has been seen on “The
View” and “Bud Light Ladies of Laughter”.
For about a year and a half, she toured with soap opera actor
Walt
Willey from ABC's "All My Children". Not too bad for
a woman who simply wanted to avoid changing diapers. Making
a
living in the world of comedy is easy for Chris. |

Bob Newhart Returns
to the Big Screen
Bob
Newhart is not only a legendary standup comedian, he’s
also the creator and star of two of the most highly regarded
television shows of all time. Before The
Bob Newhart Show where he portrayed
a lovable psychiatrist, and Newhart,
where he was a “How-To” book writer and Vermont
Inn Keeper, Bob was an extremely popular standup comedian. His
many comedy albums were always best sellers and at one point
held the #1 & #2 spots on the charts simultaneously (a feat
no one was able to repeat till 1995). Though Newhart was under
high demand as an actor, he never gave up his true love, performing
live for audiences all over the country. Now he’s making
his return to the big screen in two major motion pictures this
year, Legally
Blonde 2 with Reese Witherspoon, and Elf
starring Will Ferrell.
FACTOID
– The final episode of Newhart,
in which Bob "awoke" in his old bedroom from The
Bob Newhart Show, with his wife
next to him, and proclaimed he had the strangest dream, was
named the “Best All-Time Episode” in television
history by Entertainment Weekly.

Legally Bob
Though he's never won an Emmy and he doesn't
star in a hit sitcom, Bob
Zany's still number one in our hearts... or at least a close
second. However, he did recently appear on Jimmy Pardo's new
game show, National
Lampoon's Funny Money.
But what we really love about him is that he brings us The
Zany Report each and every week, which
is always good for a laugh. And don't forget, Zany hosts a game
show of his own, "Fix-the-Joke Baby," where you can
win one of those
Eat Salmon the Other Pink Meat T-shirts,
a couple great CDs, and a BOB&TOM VIP membership.
