Whatchu Want?
If you watch comedy competitions on television, there’s a very good chance you’ve seen comedian Geoff Brown perform. Brown won the Star Search comedy competition in 1994, was featured on seasons one and three of Last Comic Standing, was a performer on Spy TV and has popped up on a number of sitcoms over the years. Before he entered standup comedy, Geoff was a member of the US marines, and though his fellow soldiers loved the way he kept cracking everyone, his superiors thought his talents would be better utilized as a civilian, in places where he had no access to heavy artillery.

FACTOID - Though Tom and Chick always quote him him as saying "Who dis is?" on his voicemail, Geoff Brown's actual greeting is "Whatchu want?"

An Original King of Comedy
D.L. Hughley has been known as one of the best talents on the road today for quite some time, but it was his work on the mega-hit standup special The Original Kings of Comedy that launched him into stardom.  From there his career took a turn toward Hollywood where he was soon starring I his own sitcom, The Hughleys, as well as Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and S.O.B.  He also hosted his own late night talk show on Comedy Central.  These days Hughley has once again turned his focus back toward standup which means he’s back on the road, live on stage in clubs across the counter. Recently he even starred in his own HBO comedy special, Unapologetic.

Living the L.A. Dream
Being a comic out in L.A. is rough, just ask Patrick Keane.  That’s why he’s decided to take his act on the road where he can get a little more stage time and entertain a lot more people.  Keane considers himself to be more of a comedic performer in the mold of Gene Wilder and Bill Murray than a straight standup act, but that didn’t keep him from performing standup on The Late Late Show w/ Craig Ferguson.  Aside from comedy, Keane is also good at giving himself advice such as to stop apologizing so much, and that good looking people shouldn’t give dating advice. 

A Die Hard Bills Fan
Steve Wilson is only in his mid thirties and yet he’s been performing standup comedy for nearly 20 years. After doing some quick calculations in our heads, that means he’s been working since he was around 16 years-old. Of course, when you learn he was raised by 11 women, it’s easy to see why he was in such a hurry to get out of the house. Steve has been featured on BET, ABC and Comedy Central, was chosen as the Funniest Man in New York in 1988 and has an unhealthy addiction to PlayStation, young girls (over 18 of course) and the Buffalo Bills (ah well, there's always next season).

FACTOID – Tom and Steve enjoy text messaging each other during football season, talking smack about each other's favorite NFL teams.

Tommy The Kid
Tommy Johnagin started his stand-up career at the ripe young age of eighteen. Tommy dropped out of college at twenty-one to pursue his dream and become a full time comedian. Tommy vows he will one day make enough money to pay his parents back for the six semesters of college he wasted. Tommy doesn’t curse on stage but doesn’t steer away from any topic. If it’s funny Tommy will say it. Speaking of funny, Tommy made an appearance on the new BOB&TOM album We Just Landed talking about being young and in love.

The Final Economonologue of 2007
If the name didn't tip you off, comedian Costaki Economopoulos comes from a Greek background, which is why it's not surprising he's been described as a “joke philosopher.” And we're positive he's not the only one saying that. Known for his clever writing, Costaki's punch lines have been heard on The Tonight Show, BET, and MTV. In other news, Costaki is featured twice on the new BOB&TOM album We Just Landed with his Economonologue and is dating the beautiful and funny comedienne, Caroline Rhea.

The Final Vague But True of 2007
Whether he's in the studio, on the phone, or live on his special ISDN line, comedian Tim Bedore joins BOB&TOM every Wednesday to bring us a new edition of his popular weekly feature, Vague But True. In these musings, Tim talks about whatever is on his mind at the time, whether that be politics, life lessons, spring breaks, or stories on how animals are trying to wipe out the human race. But no matter the topic, folks all over the country are glued to their radios waiting to hear what Bedore has to say.

The Final NFL
Song of 2007
As we approach the end of the season, the NFL enjoys puting games on various days including Thursdays and Saturdays. That's a lot of time to dedicate to watching football. Not to mention, the league has made it harder to follow all the action becuase now some of the games are only shown on the NFL network. But don't worry, Duke Tumatoe has the kind of time required to watch every snap, which means he can once again give you the bluesy musical recap of all the football action you've come to know and love. He calls it the NFL Song, but you can just call it your favorite part of Wednesday morning.

The Elder Manning
Like Father Like Sons
Being the father of two NFL quarterbacks is quite an accomplishment in its own right, but to have also been one yourself is near unbelievable. But that’s the case for former NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Archie Manning. The name Manning has become associated with football greatness thanks recently to Eli in New York and Peyton in Indianapolis, but it all began with Archie Manning in New Orleans. Archie played for the Saints for 14 seasons and during that time earned a few trips to the Pro Bowl and was the NFL MVP in 1979. And this was all while playing on one of the worst teams in the league. He’s also considered to be one of the greatest collegiate players of all time and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Currently, Archie is working with shipping specialist UPS (AKA "Brown") in a new online video contest allowing people to vote on their favorite interception video. Check out the entries and vote on the one you like best.

FACTOID – Two of Archie’s sons (Peyton and Eli) were both #1 picks in the NFL draft. Archie was the #2 pick in 1971.

Tom Wilson is Funny
When he wasn’t able to break into the industry as an actor, Tom Wilson turned to stand-up comedy in order to get his fix for performing on stage. Though this wasn’t his initial career of choice, the move was successful and earned him guest appearances on The Tonight Show with both Johnny and Jay, David Letterman, Regis and all the major morning shows. From there Tom was eventually able to break into acting and has since starred in some twenty-five feature films and a number of television shows. After all this time, however, it’s still on stage performing stand-up comedy where Wilson feels most at home. And with a complete arsenal of funny stories, solid stand-up, and hilarious music, how could he not? Wilson says he'll be calling in today to premiere a brand new tune, and if it's as funny as his previous works, we can't wait to hear it.

The Other Bob
If you're wondering why there is a feeling of emptiness deep inside your soul, it's because you've been without The Zany Report for almost a week. For those new to the show, The Zany Report, as brought to you each week by Bob Zany, is the only segment we have that comes with its own built-in comedy safety net. Even if the Report falls just a tad bit short of hilarity, America's Favorite game show "Fix the Joke Baby" will be able to turn that frown upside down. And once again some lucky fan will win a few cool T-shirts, Zany's chart topping CD, I Just Can't Win Baby, and a very valuable one year subscription to the BOB&TOM VIP site.

Impressive Impressionist
If you’ve watched anything on TBS recently or even just landed on the Superstation by accident while flipping through channels, you’ve probably seen an ad for Frank Caliendo’s new show, Frank TV.  And while he’s no stranger to television or sketch comedy having starred on Mad TV and been featured on FOX NFL Sunday, what makes his new show different is that this program is going to be all Frank all the time.  No one is safe from this modern master of impressions as he’ll be lampooning a host of pop culture icons including John Madden, Charles Barkley, President Bush, Robert DeNiro, Dr. Phil and many, many more.

Roasting History
Each week Scott Dunn takes our audience on a trip through history. But unlike that boring old professor you had back in high school that everyone through paperclips at, Scott turns this normally uninteresting subject into a ten minute comedy routine. So far he's skewered Ben Franklin, World War II, Lewis and Clark and even the Lincoln Assassination, and he's not "dunn" yet. This Monday he'll be back with another history lesson, and you'd better pay attention because their will be a quiz.

FACTOID - Scott recently performed as the featured comedian at the annual BOB&TOM Christmas Party.
