Poetry in Motion
Comedian, poet, and culinary connoisseur Paul Gilmartin is often recognized by astute television audiences as one of the hosts of TBS Superstation's long running program, "Dinner and a Movie." Every Monday, Gilmartin hosts a topnotch feature film while at the same time giving out instructions and recipes to viewers so they can prepare a perfectly themed meal to enjoy during the show. For example, while watching this week's feature, Cable Guy , why not enjoy "Channel Surf & Turf." Though you rarely see Gilmartin actually cook anything, he claims his skills in the kitchen are second to none (except for maybe the professional chef that co-host the program). We're not yet sold on his cooking but we do know he can serve up some mean poetry. Classics like Sister Joan, Tim the Die-hard Packer Fan, and Undignified Ways to Die are highly requested bits on the B&T Show and have captivated the hearts and imaginations of an entire generation.

Two Firemen in a Smoke Filled Room...
Due to his notorious reputation and all the stories that circulate about him, we're always a bit nervous to hear that comedian John Fox will be our guest in the studio. Fox is a legend among his peers in the comedy community for being one of the dirtiest joke tellers on the standup circuit, including his world famous opening joke about the two firemen caught in a compromising position. However, Fox is even more notorious for his offstage antics, most of which were captured in Pat Godwin's loving tribute, The Legend of John Fox, including his fondness for hookers, porn, booze and leaving his condo a mess (that's why we're hoping to convince him to take two free biozones with him to help rid his condo of the stench of ass and cat food). If you're still curious about the man, the myth, the legend... check out the John Fox VIP Audio Page and all your questions will be answered. But be warned, you may feel the need to shower when you're done.

Little Comedian,
Big Laughs
Angel Salazar is not your typical comedian... something you may figure out when he walks on stage wearing a mini-skirt. Wardrobe aside, Salazar's got a unique performance that’s a mixture of street-smart ethnic wisecracks, risqué humor, physical comedy, and audience involvement. So be prepared to become part of the act when you take your seat. Angel‘s also enjoyed success in the film industry including roles in films like Scarface, Carlito's Way, and Where the Buffalo Roam. He may be a pint-sized comedian, (sort of like Jimmy Pardo), but the laughs are big enough to make up for it. Besides... we've always been told that size doesn't matter.

The Best of the Midwest
Comedian Jim Gaffigan was a fish out of water, or as he saw it, an immigrant from a strange land when he first arrived in New York over 10 years ago. Where was this far off place Gaffigan called home before moving to the big-apple? No, it wasn’t overseas or even outer space... it was a small town in the midwest. But Jim's story of an Indiana native turned big city star was the inspiration for his short lived, yet critically acclaimed sitcom “Welcome To New York.” This series didn’t last long on network television but that hasn't kept Jim off the small screen. Since then, Gaffigan has appeared on “Sex in the City,” all three “Law & Order” series, "The Ellen Show," and has reoccurring roles on upcoming episodes of “That 70’s Show,” and “Ed.” Though Gaffigan's acting career keeps him busy, he hasn’t forgotten his comedic roots and continues to perform his stellar standup routine in comedy clubs across the country.

FACTOID – Jim Gaffigan was approached to create his sitcom after his first time performing on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

The Halloween Spirit
Marilene Isaacs is a nationally known Intuitive Counselor (something like a psychic) and Spiritual Teacher with over 30 years of experience. She has dedicated her life to the actualization of unconditional love and truth, but today she's taking a break from all that to give the cast some seasonal Halloween readings. When not performing readings over the phone or in person, Marilene is also a public speaker, intuitive therapist, spiritual teacher, animal communicator, healer of people, places & animals and makes regular appearances on radio and television. Try fitting all that on a business card.

The NFL Song - Week 6
Week six of the NFL season is in the books, and who better to recap all the action than Duke Tumatoe with his popular, bluesy musical review of the week that was, The NFL Song. In what turned out to be an exciting weekend of football we had all three undefeated teams (that weren't on bye) putting in overtime, Chick's Redskins getting destroyed by the Bucs, and the Rams going for almost 500 yards of total offense against the Vick-less Falcons. This leaves a lot a material for Duke to work with this week so don't you dare miss it, or else we might buy the Arizona Cardinals and move them to your town. Nobody wants that! Plus, you can't miss another impromptu NFL Song "halftime report" by our very own sports doctor, Chick McGee.
