Penn Jillette
Penn Jillette is the larger, more audible half of the famous duo Penn & Teller. For over 30 years, they've entertained audiences with magic, comedy and anything else they set their twisted minds to. With a deep booming voice, clown college education and expertise in juggling, Penn has become the showman of the group, and perfectly compliments Teller’s silent style of magic. Together Penn & Teller have become one of Vegas' most attended shows and have also popped up in a number films, TV series and specials. Currently, Penn & Teller star in the Showtime award winning series "Bullsh*t," a show that exposes the frauds and fakes behind things like talking to the dead, alien abductions and feng shui. Jillette is also the author of the new book God, No! Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales. Follow Penn on twitter. Tim Wilson
For years comedian, songwriter and philosopher, Tim Wilson has been joining us on the air and in that time has treated us to a number of classic tunes such as My Brother In-Law, I Could Be Wrong and Church League Softball Fistfight. And though he's one of our most frequent guests, it's still an adventure every time he stops by, thanks in part to his uncanny ability to find a story to go along with any topic of conversation. But as a warning, if you're even talking to Tim, try to avoid mentioning The Bible, NASCAR, credit cards or Jimmy Carter. In other news, Tim turned author and wrote a book about serial killer Ted Bundy which is now on sale. Pick up your copy of Happy New Year - ted today. Daniel Tosh
Comedian Daniel Tosh has always been outspoken and outrageous, but until now, he has only used these talents for stand-up comedy. That all changed on his new show "Tosh.0," where he is using his powers to take on the Internet, one blog, vlog, post and tweet at a time. Tosh is a Tonight Show veteran, is frequently on Comedy Central, has been featured on "The Late Show with David Letterman" a number of times, starred in a series of Taco Bell commercials and is one of the few guests we've allowed to remain in the studio after taking off his pants. The third season of "Tosh.0" premieres Tuesday. January 11th at 10pm ET on Comedy Central. Cash Levy
Known as one of the best improvisers in the country, Cash Levy is versatile, is quick on his feat, and able to deliver his jokes and entertain audiences without offending anyone (which makes him perfect for corporate gigs). He’s appeared on Comedy Central, "The Late Late Show," "Comics Unleashed," starred in a pilot for ABC and released the CD, Cash Levy Tidbits, which is available on his website. Follow Cash on twitter. Will Durst
Skewering Both Sides of the AisleComedian and political satirist Will Durst is an equal opportunity offender; nobody appearing in today’s headlines is safe from his keen wit and quick barbs. Aside from his work as a comedian, Durst was a contributing editor to both National Lampoon and George magazines, and has written for the likes of New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle. Durst is a five-time Emmy nominee, hosted/co-produced the award winning PBS series "Livelihood" and is a regular commentator on C-Span, NPR and CNN. So whether you're a Republican, Democrat or the last remaining member of the Whig Party, you'll be able to appreciate his politically charged comedy.
