Jeff Foxworthy
Are You Smarter Than Jeff FoxworthyJeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best selling author of 11 books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s. Jeff is getting set to kickoff an all new season of his hit game show, "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader," the only show that proves how little you actually payed attention in class. In other news, Jeff is currently teaming back up with Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall for some stand-up shows over the next couple of months. Make sure to catch these Blue Collar guys when they come to a town near you as you never know when shows this huge will happen again. Greg Warren
One Star WarriorFans of the "Flute Man" and fans of digital downloads can now join forces as Greg Warren has finally entered the information age with the release of his new album, One Star Wonder, which is now available on iTunes. Comedy Central Records presents Greg's newest project which chronicles his life as a single guy who likes to eat alone, has a hard time picking up women, used to play the clarinet and doesn't like discounts at fancy hotels. Sure, there is more to his life than that, but you'll have to purchase the album to find out the rest. Bob Zany
The Zany ReportTuesday is once again upon which means it's time for another exciting episode of the best call-in, joke filled, news feature hosted by a stand-up comedian named Bob Zany, The Zany Report. But the Report isn't the only thing you'll get when Bob calls in, we'll also find out where he's playing next, Bing Crosby will tell a joke, and some lucky fan will win prizes after fixing one Zany's less than successful punch lines. So you'd better tune it because it's going to be huge! In other news, Bob was recently featured in the new Matt Damon film, The Informant! and he's got an all new "Wake Me if You're Horny" t-shirt for sale. Bill Scheft
Scheft on SportsA former stand-up comedian, Bill Scheft decided a number of years ago that he preferred writing the jokes to telling them. That's what's made him such a valuable asset to "The Late Show w/ David Letterman," where he's one of the head writers for Dave's famous opening monologues. He also contributed to the new book, The Late Show Fun Facts, authored by Letterman and the other Late Show writers. But this isn't Bill's only published work, he's also the author of three novels, The Ringer, Time Won't Let Me, and Everything Hurts which will be available in paperback on April 6th. His newest book is The Final Four of Everything. Phil Mazo
