The Rath of John
John Rathbone is a comedian who brings a ton of talent and loads of experience with him to the stage every night he performs. And while it may get crowded up there with all that luggage, people have been finding his act exceptionally funny for over 25 years now. John's popular among corporations and comedy clubs around the country because whether you're looking for a G, PG or R rated show, Rathbone's got it. John's also got charm, humor, and a ton of experience on his side, and really what more can you ask for from a standup comedian. 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 for audiences everywhere.

The Long Awaited Return of Daniel Tosh
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 all 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 career (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 few short months, Daniel will be releasing his debut CD, True Stories I Made Up.

The Vague But True Tales of Tim Bedore
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 over a year 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.

Richard Karn Says Laugh It Up
The great game shows never die, but they do need face lifts from time to time. This includes the only game that pits families of five against one another, trying to find the most popular answers to survey questions, the Family Feud. Richard Karn, once Tim Allen’s sidekick “Al” on Home Improvement, is the newest host of the Feud, though he's had this job now for over two years. Richard not only had the daunting task of filling the shoes of larger than life comedian Louis Anderson, he’s also following in the footsteps of the great Richard Dawson (who never met a contestant he wouldn’t kiss) and Ray Combs (who could barley see over the host podium). Along with his Feud work, Richard is currently heading up a new webstie that's dedicated to finding the best, most infectious laugh. The contest is called, Laugh It Up, and is currently accepting video submissions. So grab a camera, find something funny (perhaps a B&T CD) and start laughing.

FACTOID - Our good friend and truck driver, Floyd Tucker has an unnatural obsession with Richard Karn.

Ask Your Doctor, or Better Yet, Read This Book
You are supposed to be able to ask your doctor just about anything having to do with your body. But sometimes your need to know is surpassed by your fears of looking like a complete moron. That's where Billy Goldberg's new book, Why Do Men Have Nipples and Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini comes in. Ever wanted to know how people in wheelchairs have sex, or what causes a brain freeze. Who hasn't? You no longer have to be embarrassed when the doctor asks you if you have any questions and all you can think of is why you now have ear hair or how come your pee smells funny after munching on asparagus. Goldberg is an emergency medicine physician, which is why he enlisted the help of author and satirist Mark Leyner to put together this bestselling book.

We're Big Fans
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.
