Guests for the Week of Jan. 20

Monday

Bob Zany

It’s time for another exciting episode of the best joke filled, news feature hosted by a stand-up comedian named Bob Zany,  The Zany Report . But the Report isn’t the only thing you’ll get when Bob calls in, we’ll also find out where he’s playing next, Bing Crosby will tell a joke, and some lucky fan will win prizes after fixing one Zany’s less than successful punch lines. So you’d better tune it because it’s going to be huge! In other news, Bob was recently featured in the Matt Damon film,  The Informant!  and is the star of the new documentary Close But No Cigar: Bob Zany which you can find here and pre-order the 2-DVD set here.  Follow Bob on Facebook and twitter. Bob also has a new Podcast, “ The Bob Zany Show” with Zan Aufdeerheide. See Bob Zany in Columbus, IN this weekend.

Comedian David Britton also joined us. Follow him on twitter here.

Tuesday

Guest Host: Scott Potasnik

Scott Potasnik’s adventures as a “Sexpert” started early, when, at age 23, he was hired as the fresh-faced young host and senior producer of Playboy TV’s hit series Sexcetera. For the next seven years, Scott traveled the globe reporting on every bizarre aspect of human sexuality known to man. From folks who have sex with balloons (“Looners”), to the underground brothels of Brazil, to the world’s largest outdoor swinger’s campout, “Swingstock,” all the way to Tokyo’s massive fetish party, “Torture Garden,” Scott has seen it all. And today, he is known as the go-to-guy when it comes exploring the comedic side of human sexuality. Scott on Facebook and twitter.

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. Visit his website here.

Guest Host: Pat McAfee

Pat McAfee is Number 1 on the field as the punter for the Colts, and he is number one in the hearts of sports fans in Indianapolis. Well, at least he’s in the top 10. Drafted in 2009 out of West Virginia University, McAfee has not only been an important part of the Colts specials teams (and emergency QB if needed), he’s also become one of the faces of the franchise off the field. Follow Pat on twitter. Check out the Pat McAfee Foundation.

Tim Cavanagh

Need a song about your governor? How about Flag Day? Tim Cavanagh is the man for the job. Hey, he’s even written a ditty about Writer’s Block! No subject is taboo – uh, oh, yeah, he’s even written a song about that! You never know what Tim’s next target will be. On the show, Tim is famous for previously being the”One-Minute Song Guy” and currently for his Cavalcade of Celebrity Birthdays feature. He hails from Chicago and is a huge White Sox fan!. Follow Tim on twitter and facebook. Check out his website here.

Tim Bedore

For longer than we can remember comedian Tim Bedore has been calling in or stopping by to deliver an editorial in which he talks about whatever happens to be on his mind. These musings can range from his relationship with his daughter, to hot topics in the news, and even updates on how the animal kingdom is waging war on mankind. From the Animal Conspiracy to his daughter Claire, Tim takes us inside his mind, and with the help of a few sound effects, puts together one of our favorite features. Follow Tim on Facebook.

Frank Caliendo

You probably know Frank Caliendo from his appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Show with David Letterman, and his current segments on ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown…Or maybe you know him from his decade long run on FOX NFL SUNDAY as Terry Bradshaw’s nemesis, but the live comedy stage is where Frank really shows you what he’s all about. His high energy  act is a blend of observations, impressions, characters and anecdotal stories that start at a frenetic pace and never let up. Once described by the “Hollywood Reporter” as “a combination of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey” Frank is one comedian that should not be missed. Other places you might have seen Frank: “The Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, “Conan O’Brien”, “The view”, Comedy Central Presents, “Hot In Cleveland”, “The Comebacks”, “Mike and Mike”, “SportsCenter” and other ESPN shows. Follow Frank on facebook and twitter.

Sam Morril

Sam Morril won March Madness 2010 at Comix, has performed in a Friars Roast, and was featured in a 4-page spread in the Daily News as “one of the four funniest in New York?” He then won the Laughing Skull Festival in Atlanta, beating out over 600 (dreams were shattered!) applicants.

Recently, he’s been on “Gotham Comedy Live” on AXS TV, and the “The Artie Lange Show.” Sam made a big impression at Montreal’s “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival, and was written up a stand out among the “New Faces.” Every Thursday, you can catch Sam talking about New York sports on MSG’s “The Bracket.” Time Out New York says: “Morril’s jokes arise from his humiliations—sure, a lot of comedy does, but he’s especially adept at it.” Follow Sam on twitter or facebook.

Kevin Hart

Hart debuted on amateur night at a Philadelphia comedy club and was insistently hooked. He quit his job as a shoe salesman and began performing full time at such clubs in Los Angeles. However, it was his first appearance at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival that led to work in feature films. Hart has appeared in such films as Meet the Fockers sequel aka Little Fockers, and Death at a Funeral, alongside Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, and Martin Lawrence. He also co-starred alongside Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in Fool’s GoldAlong Came Polly opposite Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston, as well as opposite Steve Carell in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Hart’s additional film credits include:Soul Plane opposite Tom Arnold, Method Man, and Snoop Dogg, Not Easily BrokenExtreme MovieDrillbit TaylorEpic MovieThe Last StandScary Movie 4, and In the MixMeet Dave and Superhero Movie. He is currently starring in Grudge Match and Ride Along.

With his passion for stand-up, Hart continues to tour the country to sold-out audiences.

 In 2011, Hart’s Laugh At My Pain comedy tour pegged him as 2011’s #1 comedian on Ticketmaster and in February 2011, Hart sold out the Nokia Theater two nights in a row breaking the record previously set by Eddie Murphy. Hart released the feature film version of his comedy tour, Laugh At My Pain in September 2011. Despite opening in less than 300 screens nationwide, the film grossed nearly $8 million at the box office making it one of the top 10 independent films of 2011. Hart’s DVD Seriously Funny is one of the fastest selling DVDs in recent years and has gone platinum four times. His comedy central special of the same name is the highest rated comedy special of 2010.
