At the Movies with Pat DixonComedian Pat Dixon enjoys reviewing feature films, he just doesn't enjoy watching them. Luckily for him he's found a way to do one without out the other.

Comics On Duty: We Love You, Mrs. Bevins is available on DVD. FACTOID - At one time, Danny worked as an airline flight attendant. Bill Engvall
Aged and ConfusedIt was over a decade ago that Bill Engvall first became famous for his “Here’s Your Sign,” standup routine, and though that phrase helped launch into pop culture, it still can't compare with the fame that came from being part of the fab four known as The Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Easy For You To SayBack in 1993, Costaki Economopoulos was a man divided. Part of him wanted spend his time honing his skills as a standup while his more practical side urged him to finish his work as a graduate student at the University of Georgia. For the most part, his practical side won out, but once he graduated, the comedian in him took over and Costaki put master's degree to good use by becoming a full-time comic. With his Greek heritage, it's not surprising that he's been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we're sure he's not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who's punchlines have been heard on "The Tonight Show," BET, and MTV. In other news, he's recently released a new CD, The Economonologe, and he has a daughter with the beautiful and funny comedienne Caroline Rhea.
