Kevin Pollak
For the most part, audiences only knew Kevin Pollak as one of Hollywood’s finest character actors, forgetting that he is also one the best standup comedians in the country. But that would all change when Kevin, performing as Christopher Walken, uttered the sentence, “Frankenstein never scared me; marsupials do, because they’re fast.” In that instant, he had created a catchphrase that would remain in our usage for years to come. This isn't meant to downplay his fine film work in movies like A Few Good Men, The Usual Suspects and The Whole Nine Yards, but we’re talking about a piece that remains among B&T's most requested bits. Kevin was also the host of the FOX television game show "Million Dollar Drop." Follow Kevin on twitter. Christopher Titus
The short lived FOX comedy series Titus took viewers into the lives of two brothers trying to deal with their crude, abusive, sadistic, drunken father. It was your typical feel-good, all-american, heartwarming story. The amazing part about this series was that comedian Christopher Titus was able to take subject matter like this and turn it into comedy gold. Of course this comes as no surprise considering the show was based on Titus' real life, and he'd been using it as fodder for his outstanding standup comedy act for years. He was recently featured in his very own comedy special "Love is Evol" and is now embarking on a huge nationwide comedy tour. FACTOID – Titus first gained national attention with his one-man show, "Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding." Jimmy Pardo
When comedian Jimmy Pardo enters a room he demands respect, and maybe some day he’ll get it. Combative, agitated and yet still historically funny, Jimmy is one of the finest stand-ups working today, though he still fells he never gets the love he truly deserves. Pardo is also no stranger to the small screen having popped up on a number of shows including "The Surreal Life," "Funny Money," "Movies at Our House" and a very memorable episode of "The Tonight Show." Oh, and if you ever invite Jimmy Pardo over to your house, make sure you don't cook anything, he can't stand the smell of food being prepared. Jimmy is also the star of his own podcast "Never Not Funny," and warms up the crowd each night for "Conan." He also hosts a video series for Conan in which he interviews guests backstage called "The Pardo Patrol." Follow Jimmy on twitter. Dan St. Paul
If you've heard his piece The First Baseball Game, you've probably guessed that comedian Dan St. Paul is a huge baseball fan. But outside the ballpark, he's also a suburban husband and father who has to deal with the same daily frustrations as everyone else. The only difference being that while others just complain about their problems, Dan uses his as fodder for stand-up comedy. Dan St. Paul is a member of the Stand-Up Dads comedy tour, and has been featured on a number of BOB&TOM All-Stars shows.
