Bo Burnham
Words Words WordsFor many, YouTube fame comes from making an ass out of yourself, just ask the Star Wars Kid or Chris Crocker, but for Bo Burnham internet stardom came from his funny, politically incorrect and pun-filled musical videos. Originally recording these tunes in his bedroom for the enjoyment of family and friends, Bo's YouTube videos have now become an internet phenomenon, having been viewed over 20 million times. Bo Burnham is now expanding his career beyond the constraints of YouTube. Along with touring the country, he's starred in his own Comedy Central Presents special and he released his third album, Words Words Words, available now. Roy Wood, Jr.
Though recently featured as one of Entertainment Weekly's 12 comedian's to watch in 2009, we've known how great comedian Roy Wood, Jr. is for some timenow. He was featured on the first ever BOB&TOM Comedy Central special, is a regular on our Comedy All-Stars tour, and is a frequent guest in the studio. Known for his love of chicken nuggets and knack for prank phone calls, Wood is a regular contributor for a number of radio stations, was a semi-finalist on Star Search, has been featured on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and HBO. You can also find him on the new TBS sitcom "Sullivan & Son." Roy on twitter and facebook. Tim Bedore
For longer than we can remember comedian Tim Bedore has been calling in or stopping by to deliver an editorial in which he talks about whatever happens to be on his mind. These musings can range from his relationship with his daughter, to hot topics in the news, and even updates on how the animal kingdom is waging war on mankind. From the Animal Conspiracy to his daughter Claire, Tim takes us inside his mind, and with the help of a few sound effects, puts together one of our favorite features. Follow Tim on Facebook. Costaki Economopoulos
Costaki Economopoulos is a comedian, true, but he's also a football fan. Those two factors alone make him the perfect candidate to give us a comedic look back at the NFL each week with his new feature that's also been picked up by The Huffington Post and Bleacher Report. 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," Showtime, BET, and MTV. Follow Costaki on facebook and twitter. Mike Marvell
The Couch CommanderBeing a standup comedian is hard work, but raising a family is even harder. Fortunately for comedian Mike Marvell he’s found that the two can go hand and hand. Known as the "Couch Commander," Mike has taken his daily life as a family man and turned it into a comedy act. After testing his material (all based on his wife and three kids) at a few open mic nights in his hometown of Oakville, WI, Mike was offered jobs all around the Midwest. Now as he travels from gig to gig, you can bet he keeps in constant contact family because you never know when something funny might happen.
