Who's the Boss... on The Office
Though he started out as the dry, sarcastic correspondent on The Daily Show, it was his role as Michael Scott, the obnoxious and highly unprofessional regional manager on NBC's The Office, that launched Steve Carell into stardom. But his comedic talents aren't exclusive to the small screen, Carell has actually become one of Hollywood's most sought after comedic actors. He's starred in some of the biggest comedy films over the past few years including The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Anchor Man, Evan Almighty, and Little Miss Sunshine. Steve's hoping that his string of hit films continues with his newest project, Dan in Real Life, which opens in theaters October 26. You can also catch Steve each Thursday on NBC in The Office.

See The Light
American Idol season four finalist Bo Bice says that while making his first album, The Real Thing was fun, it still wasn't showcasing his true talent and love of music. All that changes on his new album, See the Light, which features Bo's love all musical diversity including tracks described as Southern-fried rock, ballads, soul and funky groove. And while that's a lot of genres to fit into a ten track CD, Bo somehow made it work. Raised in England since the age of 12, Bo never forgot his southern roots while learning how to play the guitar, saxophone, harmonica and piano. After moving back to the states in his late teens, Bo toured the southern-circuit with a few local bands before auditioning for American Idol.

Turning Ignorance into a Career
When it comes to ADD and medication, Tom Cruise and comedian Ryan Dalton are on the same page. You don’t need to take pills, just give patient a stage, a mic and an audience, and they’ll be just fine. It seems to have worked for Dalton. A native of Cleveland, OH, Dalton discovered after graduating from college that the entertainment industry might be right for him because it was one of the few places where a basic lack of knowledge on any subject is not only necessary, but also embraced. He uses standup comedy as a way to poke fun at controversy and the “everyday personal injustices” that are dealt with by the common man. He also tries to defend the common woman whenever possible.

The New Kid in Comedy
The idea to become a stand up comedian can come from most anywhere, but for Shane Mauss, it came from a 8-year-old boy. To be fair, Shan was also 8-years-old at the time, but still it's unique. Knowing that his small-town Wisconsin home wasn't exactly a hot bed for comedy, Mauss moved to Boston (when he was older than eight) where he attended some classes and started honing his standup act. From there his career took off, including winning the Best Stand Up Comic of 2007 award at the Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Playboy TV.

Football Put to Music
After a wild weekend of football, is there any better way to catch up on all the action than through song? We didn't think so either, which is why we've once again asked Duke Tumatoe's to join us in the studio to talk about the weekend that was and fill us in on all things NFL with his aptly named NFL Song. Why ESPN hasn't caught on to this tradition we have no idea.

Drew Carey,
Come on Down
Drew Carey has made a living as the beer drinking, joke telling, everyman of comedy.  With his black-framed glasses, buzz haircut and beefy build, Carey found a niche as the voice of the average guy.  Before long he took his shtick from stage to screen on the highly successful ABC sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and later on the comedy game show, Who’s Line is It Anyway.  Though both of those programs have come and gone, Carey is once again putting his everyman charm and hosting prowess to good use on the new CBS game show, The Power of 10.  On the show Carey leads contestants through a game in which they only have to answer five questions in a row to win $10 Million.  In other news, Carey is about to begin work as Bob Barker’s replacement on the new season of the long-running game show, The Price is Right.
