Seth Rogen
Seth Rogen has become one of the hottest young actors in Hollywood after teaming up with his “Freaks and Geeks” buddy Judd Apatow to create a number of hit comedy films including The 40-Year Old Virgin, Pineapple Express and Superbad. But Rogen’s string of successful projects goes beyond comedy as he's recently starred in the super hero action film The Green Hornet, and in the new film that's getting a lot of Oscar buzz already, 50/50. Hal Sparks
Hal Yes!At age 14, Hal Sparks decided he was tired of "country livin'" and moved to Chicago to live with his father. It was there he ventured into acting school which eventually lead him to stand-up comedy. After graduating from high school, Sparks packed up and left for Hollywood where he spent the next 10 years trying to make it in the business.

Comedian Sean Morey has been a friend of the BOB&TOM show for longer than we can remember and his songs have been popping up on our albums since the 80's. But we're not the only ones that enjoy his music; he recently placed first and third in the comedy division of the International Songwriting Contest with his tunes "Dear Santa" and "The A.D.D. Song." Along with those two favorites, Morey is famous for his other tunes "The Man Song," "The Woman Song," "The Man That Doesn't Exist" and "Dickin' Around at Work." 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. Hampton Yount
