John Roy
Back in 2003, John Roy became the first winner of the newly revived Star Search comedy competition and pocketed a cool $100,000, earned a CBS development deal, got a guest-starring role on a CBS program. But John never let all that success go to his head, instead he continued doing what he loves, performing standup comedy in dirty night clubs all over the country. That's not to say he's abandoned TV altogether. Roy is also a veteran of The Late, Late Show, Hollywood Squares, Comedy Central Presents, Last Comic Standing and HBO. Follow John on facebook. Bob Schneider
Lovely CreaturesBorn in Ypsilanti, MI, Bob Schneider moved to Germany at the age of two so that his father could study opera. It was there that his father first taught him to play the guitar. He moved back to the states to attend college at the University of Texas El Paso. While in Texas, Schneider found more success on the music scene than he did in college, and soon left to pursue that career full time. He went on to front a number of Austin’s most popular bands before venturing out on his own solo career. Since then this eclectic artist has released a number of solo albums that encompass funk, country, rock and folk, including his newest CDs Lovely Creatures and Live at the Paramount Theatre. 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. Ray Manzarek
