Not a Star, Yet
Growing up in a small, dull North Carolina town, Laurie Kilmartin dreamed of one day becoming a big fat star. Her first step on this journey was a move to L.A. in order to attend UCLA. While there, she didn’t hit it big, but she did become involved in competitive swimming for the school, and standup comedy, which was a step in the right direction. From there, her journey continued on to New York where she once again attempted to make a name for herself. Along with developing her stage act, she began landing gigs as a writer for late night shows such as The Late Late Show and Tough Crowd. From there, her writing roles would lead to screen time on Comedy Central as well as many of the late night talk shows So even though she’s not a amazingly famous at the moment, Laurie might very well be on her way.

Absolutely Har-Larious
Harland Williams has a knack for playing memorable, out of the ordinary characters in films. He was the urine chugging cop in Dumb & Dumber, a prison bitch pot-head in Half Baked, a deranged hitchhiker in There’s Something About Mary and a cross dressing college student in Sorority Boys. What you may not know about Williams is that he’s also a hilarious stand-up comedian with an onstage persona that's every bit as bizarre as his movie roles. With an uniqe delivery, goofy facial expressions and whacked-out sense of humor, Harland has become a star on television, stage and screen. You can also find Harland's handy work in bookstores, but not in the aisle you may be thinking. He's the author and illustrator of a number of children's books including Likety Split and The Kid With Too Many Pets. He's also recently formed released a comedy album, Har-Larious.

Fall, Football & Frank
Frank Caliendo is the man behind the best John Madden impression ever caught on tape, however, these day's he's being recognized even more for his George W. Bush. Since his last appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Frank's performance has been circulating the internet and forwarded to almost everyone's inbox. It got so big in fact that The Late Show decided to re-air that episode almost immediately. For those of you who aren't familiar with Frank, he has many more voices in his arsenal than any one comedian should be allowed to have. Each time he visits, Caliendo impresses us with a variety of fantastic impressions including Al Pacino, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Ted Knight, and Chick's personal favorite, Jeff Golfblum. This fall, Frank will once again be using his impressive impression skills each Sunday performing comedy sketches during the NFL on FOX pregame show.

Notoriously Vague But Surprisingly True
It's been almost a week since we last visited with comedian Tim Bedore, which is why we're so eager to have him back on his special line ready to deliver another exciting edition of Vague But True. Live from his home in Minnesota where he's seated comfortably at mission control, Tim shares his thoughts on life, society, politics and his day to day activities, presented in the form of in-depth, entertaining editorials. Over the past year, these musings have helped us learn a lot about Bedore, including his thoughts on moving Israel to Nevada, the joy one can find in a SkyMall magazine, his time spent at summer camp and his theory on how animals are trying to wipe out our species.

What a Surprise!
It's Bob Zany!
It’s time again for everyone’s favorite weekly feature, The Zany Report starring comedy legend Bob Zany. In case you’re new to the show or are unfamiliar with the concept of The Zany Report, we’ll explain how it works. Every Tuesday, Bob Zany calls in to deliver a handful of jokes based on current events and comical news stories. Though his intention is always to present a report that is hilarious from top to bottom, unfortunately it doesn’t always work out this way. Of course as good hosts, BOB&TOM are kind enough to let him know every time one of his punchlines has come up short in the laugh department. But this is where you, the listener, can join in the fun because each week Zany invites a lucky fan to call in play a little game he calls Fix-The-Joke Baby! Sounds easy, doesn’t it? To find out more, got to bobzany.com, baby!

Bob For a Day
There are only a handful of comedians that we would allow to fill in for Bob while he's away on assignment. Unfortunately none of them were available, so we contacted Drew Hastings. All kidding aside, Drew is one our favorite and most frequent visitors, it’s never a boring morning when he stops by. Whether he’s telling us about his life on the farm, fighting for the spotlight with Rupert or arriving dressed in the latest in metrosexual fashion he never fails to give us more material to hold against him. Currently Drew is working on expanding his one-man show “Life & Other Short Stories,” and creating a mockumentary based on his alter ego, Success Guru Jack Freeman. Drew also recently took part in the huge BOB&TOM Comedy show that will be aired on Comedy Central later this year and is a featured guest on the special third disc of the new album, Donkey Show.
