Reggie Miller

Boom Baby!

When Reggie Miller was drafted by the Indiana Pacers in 1987, many Indiana basketball fanatics were quite vocal in their disapproval. Indiana University standout and home town favorite Steve Alford was passed over in favor of a lanky UCLA kid who most Hoosier basketball fans knew little or nothing about, even though he had finished his career at UCLA with 2,095 points - second only to the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in that school's illustrious basketball history. There were even a few boos when the pacers announced Reggie Miller as their first draft pick 17 years ago. Quite a lot has changed since that day. Today, the name Reggie Miller is synonymous Indiana basketball. In the state of Indiana, he's one of the most loved and admired athletes ever to call the Hoosier State home. Though Reggie's #31 jersey has been retired and now hangs in the rafters of Conseco Fieldhouse, and he's no longer on the court popping three's and flopping on defense, he's still involved with the NBA as part of TNT's broadcast team. He's also the focus of ESPN's new "30 For 30" special Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks.

Brian Regan

Brian Regan's blend of sophisticated writing and physical expression make him one of the most successful comedians in the business today. He has a deft ability to pinpoint the most specific situations and make them relatable to audiences that span generations. Regan has been featured on all the major late night talk shows as well as Showtime, Comedy Central and MTV. In fact, with his first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1995, Brian solidified his place on the show and in 2012 he made his 25th appearance, the most of any comedian on the CBS show. His first CD has sold over 150,000 copies, and his past two DVDs have been bestsellers. You can get his new CD, All By Myself, on his website. Brian is currently on a nationwide tour, and if he comes to your town, he's a definite must see. Follow Brian on twitter. You can also catch him in an episode of Jerry Seinfeld's new online series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee"

Mark Sweeney

If you ask him, or check out his media kit, Mark Sweeney will tell you he's a "professional comedian," even though his credits also include acting roles in "Boston Public," "The Visitor," and "Days of Our Lives." Along with those TV programs, Sweenz has also starred in several independent films which leads us to believe he's done a lot of porn. The four years he spent in the US Marines were forgettable, either that or he just can't remember them. Though his military history is a bit fuzzy, he's constantly being reminded that at some point he attended college, which is why he's still on the run from the student loan collectors. Mark Sweeney has also recently written his first book, Court Jester: The Making of a Comedian. Follow Mark on twitter.
