Jeff Dunham
Now on DVDFans of Walter the old man, José Jalapeno, Peanut the Woozel and Achmed the Dead Terrorist may not realize this, but the actual mastermind behind them all is their on-stage straight man, ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. But we don't think Dunham minds sharing the spotlight with his alter egos because they've helped him become one of the biggest draws in comedy, which is evident by the sheer number of comedy specials he’s appeared in, and the size of the venues he's selling out. Also, fans of the Comedy Central series can now purchase Jeff and all of his friends on DVD with the release of "The Jeff Dunham Show" Greg Proops
L.A.'s Best Dressed Comedian Famous for his starring roles on both the US and UK versions of the improv comedy show "Whose Line is it Anyway?," Greg Proops can actually be found all over television. This San Francisco native has been seen on "Last Comic Standing," "Ugly Betty," "The Late Late Show," "The Drew Carey Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," The Travel Channel and ESPN Classics just to name a few. Along with Stand-Up comedy, Proops has also been the host of his own L.A. talk show, a fashion cop on the TV Guide Channel, is the voice of the popular children’s character Bob the Builder on PBS and has won celebrity editions of "Weakest Link," "Win Ben Stein’s Money" and "Rock & Roll Jeopardy." With all that game show experience, it was only a matter of time before Greg got to host his own, which is exactly what he's doing now on the Science Channel on the new show "Head Games" which airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. Drew Hastings
Fresh off the LinksSince Drew Hastings visits our studio more often than our cleaning crew, we figured he'd be a natural to have in while Tom is out recovering from his vacatin. Drew is not only one of the most brilliant comedians working today, he's also one of the only metrosexual "Gentleman Farmers" in the midwest. Unless you know of another guy raising pigs and growing corn while wearing a black mock turtle-neck sweater. Daniel Kinno
Comedy From OverseasHaving been born in the former Soviet Republic in the city of Minsk, Daniel Kinno is able to delivery insightful observations about everything from pop culture to relationships from a truly unique perspective. His musings have been featured on MTV, Game Show Network and the WB, and back in 2004, he starred in a national ad campaign for ESPN. Since moving to the US and settling in Columbus, OH, Daniel hasn’t been afraid to head back overseas. He just recently returned from Afghanistan as part of the USO tour.
