The Legend of John Fox
Comedian John
Fox is a legend among his peers in the comedy field. He
is one of the best joke tellers on the standup circuit, (and
one of the dirtiest), but it's his life off the stage that he's
most notorious for. Most of his antics were brought to our attention
in Pat Godwin's song, The Legend of John Fox, which explains
what it's like to move into a "comic's condo" recently
inhabited by Fox. If after hearing that you are still curious
about the man, the myth, the legend... listen to this free audio
of John's self-reflective song, and all your questions will
be answered. But be warned, you may have to shower afterward.

Sean Morey, He's The Man
Sean
Morey is a man that tries to see all sides of any situation.
Not one to play favorites, Morey tends to deliver his songs
in groups. When he wrote his tune The
Man Who Doesn't Exist, he immediately
followed it up with The Woman
Who Doesn't Exist.
Even his extremely popular Man
Song spawned the sequels The
Woman Song and the even rarer
Hermaphrodite Song. Starting to see
the connection? This thoughtfulness of his has made Morey so
well-loved that most fans can overlook the fact that he plays
the banjo.

The Buck Stops Here Thursday
Morning
In just eight years, Joe
Buck has earned the distinction as one of sports' premier
play-by-play broadcasters, as evidenced by his Emmy Award wins
in 1999 and 2001. This season Buck teams with future Hall of Famer
Troy Aikman and fellow Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth to
comprise the NFL on FOX
SPORTS No. 1 broadcast team. With this newest addition to
Buck's versatile resume, he becomes the first play-by-play announcer
to handle lead MLB and NFL coverage in the same year since NBC's
Curt Gowdy and ABC's Al Michaels.
"It's in my contract that I get the opportunity to do both
baseball and football," says Buck, "but I'm not sure
that I always pull it off."
Buck called in from an airport during a layover on his way to
LA to make a guest appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
"This makes it convenient with Anaheim being involved in
the world series."
The other team involved in the world series is the San Francisco
Giants, including single season home run record holder Barry Bonds.
"I met Barry Bonds the other day, and when I was introduced
as Joe Buck, lead broadcaster for Fox, Barry Bonds turns to me
and says 'So?' We'll see how professional I am when Mr. Bonds
steps up to the plate," says Buck. "If I don't throw
a "so" into my announcing, I don't think I will be doing
my job."
FACTOID
- Joe Buck is the son of legendary St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster
Jack Buck.

Don Barnhart
Stand Up Comic/Actor Don
Barnhart can be seen in the highly anticipated upcoming
Science Fiction Television series GENESIS WARS playing the ultimate
bad guy and weasel Capt. Zigaroff. A graduate of the Second
City Conservatory in Los Angeles, Barnhart has become a national
touring headliner. Barnhart was recently honored when he was
asked to co-headline the Five O'Clock Funnies ALL STAR SHOW
in Los Angeles for an oversold crowd of 1500 with Rich Jeni,
Rocky LaPorte and Pablo Francisco where he not only performed
but directed the five camera DVD/Video shoot for an upcoming
special. And if that wasn't enough to keep the young comedian/actor
busy, Don is currently set to direct the independent feature
film he wrote called CHINA DOLLS.

Out
of the Kitchen, and on the Road
Paul
Gilmartin is known for his comedic poetry, but to television
viewers, he's probably most well recognized for his hosting
duties on the TBS
program Dinner
and a Movie, but before landing
that gig, Gilmartin was an accomplished stand up comedian. He's
taking his act out of the kitchen and back on the road, so he
can once again entertain audiences with his uncanny ability
for rhyme that has spawned such classics as Sister
Joan, Undignified Ways to Die, and
Circus Love.

George Lopez:
Live on CD
Comedian, and longtime friend of the show,
George
Lopez is returning to one of his true loves, standup comedy.
Once his network television sitcom, George
Lopez, was renewed for it's second
season, George was able to get back to his roots, on the road,
and on stage. Lopez is taking his act all over the US, but for
those of you who won't get a chance to see Lopez live, his standup
comedy CD, Right
Now Right Now is now available
in stores.

Plato, Socrates, Larry
Larry
the Cable Guy always delivers weekly commentaries that help
the rest of us keep everything in perspective. His southern
redneck charm and perfectly placed, well thought out analogies
have helped transform Larry from a simple cable installer into
a modern day philosopher. We never know what's on his mind,
but you can always bet he'll "get 'er done."

The NFL Song: Week 6
The St. Louis Rams have finally won a game,
and it was against the previously undefeated Oakland Raiders!
What the hell, what the hell goin' on in the NFL? These are
the burning questions that we hope Duke
Tumatoe addresses in this week's NFL
Song. Who knows, we might even be
treated to another poem by our own Chick McGee. It will most
likely have nothing at all to do with the NFL or even football
in general unless it's to talk about how the monkey is kicking
ass!

Patrick Fugit:
More than Almost Famous
Patrick
Fugit made his motion picture debut in the central role
of the Academy Award-winning film
Almost Famous, winning the coveted part over hundreds
of other young actors. Once again, Fugit will be the envy of
many when he stars in the new film White
Oleander opposite four beautiful actresses. Michelle
Pfeiffer, Robin Wright Penn, Renee Zellweger and Alison Lohman
star alongside Hollywood’s luckiest young man.
FACTOID - Patrick Fugit faced a couple of problems while working
on "Almost Famous," and both can be traced back to
his young age. His voice cracked and he grew almost three inches
while filming.
