The Legend Of
Ron Burgandy
He went back to school and joined a fraternity in Old School and journeyed from the North Pole to New York City in Elf, but Will Ferrell is making his biggest move yet by time warping back to the 70’s in his new film Anchorman. Since he first came to the public's attention as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (where he earned two Emmy nominations), Ferrell has become one of Hollywood’s biggest and most sought after movie stars. His ability to morph himself into almost any type of character and complete willingness to make a total ass of himself has helped turn Ferrell into a huge Box Office draw. In Anchorman, Ferrell plays Ron Burgundy, San Diego’s top newsman, who’s perfect hair and mustache are pitted against the area's first female co-anchor. The worst part for Ron is, they both work for the same station. Though the pompous and moronic Burgundy is dead set against the idea at first, he and his lovely new news partner (Christina Applegate) turn from enemies to lovers in no time. Anchorman opens Friday, July 9 in theaters everywhere.

FACTOID - You may not believe it, but in Anchorman it's the hair on Will Ferrell's head that is fake. The mustache is 100% real.

John Rathbone
John Rathbone is a comedian who brings a ton of talent and loads of experience to the stage with him every time he performs. And while it may get crowded up there with all that luggage, people have been finding his headlining act exceptionally funny for over 20 years. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have the sex appeal of a Brad Pitt, John's got charm, humor, and a ton of experience on his side, and really what more can you ask for. Rathbone became an actor at age 6, was a debate champion in college and has been a successful standup comedian since ’1981, performing thousands of shows all across the country.

Daniel Tosh
Shares His Thoughts
Comedian Daniel Tosh got his start hosting a late night talk show down in South Beach where he would interview/ make fun of the gorgeous models living in the area. Though it sounds like a rough line of work, Tosh actually enjoyed it. But he gave it up to pursue bigger and better things out on the road, hoping that eventually it would land him some acting gigs and maybe another talk show with a bigger desk and a larger audience. Since then, standup comedy has become Tosh’s primary line of work (and what got him on The Late Show with David Letterman four times) but he’ll still accept the occasional acting gig, like the one he got starring in a four-part Taco Bell commercial campaign. In just a short amount of time, Tosh has become a mainstay on the college standup circuit, is a highly requested headliner in comedy clubs across the country and just made his debut on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Coach Warren
The last time comedian Greg Warren was in our studio, he shared a number of stories about his family. The one concerning his uncle Leo, and the only good advice he ever got out of him, remains a favorite around the Friggemall building due to the catchy sound effects and gestures that were included. Listen to the audio below and see if you have the willpower to resist playing along. Greg is an up and coming standup comedian who’s been featured on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and in clubs across the country. He’s also a former NCAA All-American in wrestling and has stated on many occasions that if things don’t work out in comedy, he’ll head back to school and coach the sport. With the way things are going though, we don't see Greg with a whistle around his neck any time soon.

Semi True Stories
Though he's kept extremely busy touring as part of the biggest concert events of the summer, somehow the guitarist of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, Mac McAnally, has found the time to record and promote his own solo project, Semi True Stories. Though he's most well known for his work with that guy from Margaritaville, Mac's released 10 albums of his own, written multiple #1 country hits (as well as a few that made their way onto the pop charts) and has lent his guitar stylings to a number of famous artists like Hank Williams Jr., Vince Gill and Reba McEntire. Not just a musician, Mac is also an excellent storyteller. He enjoys mixing both of those crafts into every one of his live performances which is nice because behind every good song is an even better story.

Don't Make Her Madigan
St. Louis native, Kathleen Madigan has starred in her own HBO and Comedy Central standup specials, done television pilots, reported for ESPN2, has appeared on the Tonight Show 12 times, won the American Comedy Award for “Best Female Club Comic,” and has filled in for Kristi Lee at the B&T news desk. With all these credentials, would anyone be surprised if she ended up being the Last Comic Standing. Kathleen is a veteran comedienne with nearly 15 years of experience. She's one of eight comics still in the competition on Jay Mohr's NBC reality series. She's lasted this long but will Madigan be able to make it to the final five? You'll just have to watch to find out.
