 Tom
Wilson is Funny
When he wasn’t able to break
into the industry as an actor, Tom
Wilson turned to stand-up comedy in order to get his fix
for performing on stage. Though this wasn’t his initial
career of choice, the move was successful and earned him guest
appearances on The Tonight Show with
both Johnny and Jay, David Letterman, Regis and all the major
morning shows. From there Tom was eventually able to break
into acting and has since starred in some twenty-five feature
films and a number of television shows. After all this time,
however, it’s still on stage performing stand-up comedy
where Wilson feels most at home. And with a complete arsenal
of funny stories, solid stand-up, and hilarious music, how
could he not? Wilson recently released a brand new comedy album
which he modestly titled, Tom
Wilson is Funny and make sure
to look for him this fall when he stars in the new Ted Danson
sitcom, Help Me Help You on
ABC and in the Tim Allen film, Zoom.

 Meet
Andi Smith!
Described as being both "the girl next door" and "the girl
who hates the girl next door", Andi
Smith often surprises audiences with a funny and original perspective
on life. She claims to be a rarity among her female peers in comedy because
her act has nothing to do with mammograms or adventures she's had with
her cat. In fact, she doesn't even like cats. After graduating college
Andi Smith moved to St. Louis and found her true home was in comedy clubs,
up on stage. Original and entertaining, Smith can find humor in everything
from growing up in Wisconsin to ugly belts. |

 As
Seen on TV
Comedian Sean Kent of Last
Comic Standing fame, is a native Texan, which kind of explains
why he wore a cowboy hat throughout the series. Though he didn’t
win either season he competed in, Sean Kent was able to showcase his
talents in front of a nationwide audience, so the time he spent working
in reality television wasn’t a total wash. Kent has been headlining
clubs across the country for years, and has written for a number of TV
shows including The Best Damn Sports Show, Friday
Night Videos and Yes, Dear. This
will be Kent's third appearance on the BOB&TOM show, but he's no
stranger when it comes to talk radio, he co-hosts The
Free Speech Show weeknights out in LA.

Back
to the Brickyard
He may not be a “good ol’ boy” but Jeff
Gordon is definitely among the greatest NASCAR drivers
of all time. Love him or hate him, Gordon always seems to be near the front
of the pack, regardless of the race or track. He's set countless records
in the sport, has won all kinds of money, and is only the third driver
in history to become a four time Winston Cup Champion. Going down his list
of career highlights is like going though a record book because not only
is he one of the most prolific prizewinners in NASCAR history he's also
the youngest driver to have earned some of the sport's highest honors.
Gordon is the youngest driver to ever win the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard
400, and is the youngest to earn 50 career wins. This weekend, Gordon and
his #24 Dupont Chevrolet, along with the rest of the Rainbow Warriors will
try to add one more title to his already overcrowded trophy shelf as he
attempts to win an unprecedented fifth Allstate
400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. |

 High
Five, Myself,
No Friends
When comedian Greg
Hahn takes the stage, he does so with an energetic, all-out style
of physical humor, one-liners and crowd work live you've never seen before.
And once he get's going there's no stopping it because he doesn't have
time for laughs, he's out to create immediate pandemonium and panic.
Hahn can wear an audience out with his rapid-fire jokes leave them holding
their sides, trying to catch their breath in no time. Though Hahn's resume
includes numerous television appearances and headlining countless comedy
clubs, his true calling may be as a speaker at corporate functions. Hahn
is famous for stepping behind the podium during stuffy business events
and pretending to be a guest speaker, only to launch into his bizarre
antics. Needless to say, it takes everyone in attendance completely off
guard.
FACTOID -
Greg Hahn makes an appearance on the new BOB&TOM album Donkey
Show in which he discusses his watch that smells like vanilla.

 A
Man of the World
From an early age, Andrew
Kennedy was a traveler. Born to a short Colombian woman and a very
intelligent Englishman, Kennedy and his brothers became men of the world
after moving with their parents from country to country through most
of his childhood. That traveling must be in his blood because he would
go on to choose the life of a road comedian, only these days instead
of moving, he just sets up shop for a few days to entertain the locals.
Speaking of traveling, Kennedy recently returned from a tour of Holland,
and on an unrelated note, he’ll be appearing in US theaters in
the new movie Manhattan Comedy Night.

Where's the Controversy?
Some prudes out there were a little upset by the recent
cover of Baby Talk Magazine that
pictured a harmless photo a baby breast feeding. We don't see
the harm in this, the suckling a mother's bosom is a natural,
beautiful and healthy act. In fact, we don't even see the problem
with the new, and eerily similar cover of Booby
Talk Magazine that shows Bob almost in the same pose.

The Guys With the Feature That Has Yet
to be Named
Paul Sabourin and Greg "Storm" DiCostanzo were once members
of the enormously popular comedy quartet, Da
Vinci’s Notebook, but having struck out on their own, they're
now known as the dynamic Paul & Storm.
While the band's name really isn’t all that clever (and is often
confused with Pollen Storm), their music and material most certainly
is. Not only have they landed a number of tracks on recent BOB&TOM
albums such as A Better Version of You, Strip
Club Daddy and The Mother's Day Song,
they also have a weekly, unnamed feature in which they sing about current
news headlines.

 Vague
But Tim
Since Tim
Bedore's popular segment, Vague
But True, has become a
regular feature on the BOB&TOM show, certain
topics seem to pop up on a regular basis. One of
the most popular subject matters has been the secret
war raging between man and beast which Tim has dubbed
the "Animal Conspiracy." The first installment
of this larger work appeared on the album B&T Camel
Toe almost two years ago, but as the news stories
keep adding up and listener e-mails keep rolling
in, Tim has had no choice but to continue informing
the masses about this ongoing battle. Will
the battle continue in this week's report? You'll
just have to tune in to find out.

 Talladega
Nights
with Will Ferrell
From the first season he starred on Saturday Night
Live, audiences took notice of Will
Ferrell’s ability to create memorable
and outlandish characters. He could take roles that would die if played
by other actors, such as the Spartan cheerleader, cow bell player or
high school music teacher, and turn them into comedic gold. This ability
has translated well to the big screen where Ferrell has starred in a
string of hugely successful feature films. Hits lilke Old School,
Anchorman, Elf and Wedding Crashers have proven that he
is one of the most bankable comedic stars in Hollywood today, which is
why people are already excited about his upcoming movie, Talladega
Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. In it, Ferrell plays the
part of upstart NASCAR driver, Ricky Bobby, who comes out of nowhere,
takes over the sport, loses it all, and then tries to get it all back
again. You know, that age old story. Talladega Nights opens
Friday, August 4th in theaters everywhere.

 That's
Odd
After producing over 500 comedy shows since 2001, and giving many young
comedians their start, Dave
Odd decided he himself should take the stage and give it a go. So
in May of 2002, Dave took the plunge, quit his day job, and started performing
stand-up full-time. Now, having decided that stand up comedy is the one
goal he has ever been completely and totally dedicated to, Dave hopes
to advance his career by working his way up the ladder to at least sub-stardom.
