Joel McHale
Joel McHale has the type of job most of us would love to have. He spends the week watching television, then picks the funniest, most outrageous, and completely mindless clips to show us each week on his show "The Soup," (not to be confused with it’s predecessor, "Talk Soup") On the show, Joel skewers talk shows, reality TV, morning shows, and idiotic celebrities while at the same time poking fun at all things pop culture. When not in front of his television or the studio camera, Joel still finds time to perform stand-up comedy around the country. He’s also becoming quite the actor, having appeared on the shows "Pushing Daisies" and "CSI: Miami," and in the films The Onion Movie, Lords of Dogtown and in the NBC sitcom, Community.

Marc Maron, professional standup comedian, actor, and writer is a true storyteller. While on stage, Maron enjoys entertaining audiences with his political commentary, insights into human nature, and good old-fashioned funny stores, but his first priority is making them think. Many of Marc’s titillating tales appear in his first book, The Jerusalem Syndrome, which is based on his popular one-man show. Though Marc has a tough time describing exactly what it is he does on stage, other's have labeled him as heady, brilliant, angry, a satirist, a cultural critic or an Iggy Pop Woody Allen. Follow Marc on Twitter. You can also listen to his podcast "WTF w/ Marc Maron." Scott Henry
Scott Henry and his career as a stand-up comedian and actor was launched at the Montreal Comedy Festival in 2000. Following the festival, he had three consecutive talent holding deals – two with ABC and one with UPN. Scott has appeared on “The King Of Queens,” “Chelsea Lately,” and “Sports Soup,” as well as in specials for Comedy Central and VH-1. He has also been to over 50 countries entertaining U.S. troops, including Afghanistan and Iraq. Scott has also voiced more than 100 commercial for companies such as Toyota, Netflix, Coors, and Fram and is known in the corporate world for his well-rounded versatility and top level comedy and hosting skills. Tom Rhodes
A 20-year veteran of standup comedy, Tom Rhodes began his career in the Deep South, but knew he’d have to take his act to the coasts if he was ever to hit it big. Out in San Francisco, he was picked up by a then young Comedy Central to host the critically acclaimed show, Viva Vietnam. Later he was “discovered” by NBC and placed in an ill-fated show named Mr. Rhodes. The failure of his first sitcom is what led him to head overseas where he enjoyed huge success, doing standup in London and hosting a Tonight Show type program in Amsterdam.
