Carlos Mencia
Equal Opportunity OffenderOver the past few years Carlos Mencia has become one of the most popular comedians in the country, due in large part to his presence on Comedy Central. With comedy specials, his own TV show, and numerous other appearances on the network, Carlos has become a household name. But don't think for a second that he's going to start taking it easy. When he's not at home with his wife and son, he is out on the road, back in the clubs doing what he loves. Gary Puckett
Lady Willpower, It's Now or NeverFor a few weeks now, Chick McGee has been randomly playing the songLady Willpower whenever he’s felt like it, which in turn has led to a number of listeners writing in wanting to know who sang that familiar song. We’ll, we’re happy to remind you that this tune was actually a huge hit by one of the biggest bands of the sixties, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Band. For those who may not remember, or who weren’t alive back then, Puckett garnered six consecutive gold records in the late sixties, and the Union Gap Band was the top selling band of 1968. Some of their other hits include Young Girl, Woman Woman, This Girl is a Woman Now and Over You. Though the Union Gap Band was disbanded in the mid seventies, Gary Puckett has continues to perform around the world. And who knows, maybe we’ll even get him to perform a live version of Lady Willpower when he joins us in the studio on Tuesday. Mike Birbiglia
