Steve 'Ain't' White
Don’t let the name fool you, comedian Steve White is actually an African American. This must confuse quite a lot of people because Steve picked SteveAintWhite.com as his official domain name. Steve has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Evening at the Improv and has guest stared on ABC’s Hanging with Mr. Cooper, the film Coming To America with Eddy Murphy and a number of Spike Lee Joints (AKA films). |

Getting the Word Out
Some comedians like to let us know a little bit about themselves before they come on the show for the first times. Some send press kits while others have extensive biographies on their websites. Marvin Todd isn’t one of those comedians. He wants us to get to know him the old fashioned way, by coming in cold and making a first impression face-to-face. Our crack staff was able to dig up a few facts about this mystery man, including that he been seen on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Comic View and NBC’s Late Night. He’s also the father of one, and has a dry sense of humor.

One of the Greats
Known as one of the funniest and most well respected standup comedians in the nation, it's no wonder Robert Schimmel is mentioned in the same conversations as fellow legends Bill Cobsy, George Carlin, Sam Kinison and Lenny Bruce. One thing that separates Schimmel from the majority of comedians is the frank, funny and extremely blue nature of his comedy. Part of Schimmel's charm comes from his ability to discuss dark and taboo topics that make people laugh and squirm at the same time. He's also not afraid to speak his mind or be open about his real life problems including his heart attack, battle with cancer, and love life. This controversial nature has made him a perfect fit for cable, as he's starred in multiple HBO specials, many of which are now available on CD and DVD.

Laughing at Life
Everybody has to deal with the troubles of everyday life, but it takes a special kind of person to be able to talk about these issues in a way that makes audiences laugh. It just so happens that Doug Saulnier is one of those people. Growing up in Boston, Doug realized he had this gift and used it to his advantage by telling elaborate stories and jokes to anyone who would listen. Eventually he found work as a comedy club emcee, and from there, it wasn’t long before he was working the biggest clubs in New York City. It was here he was noticed by comedy legend Robert Schimmel, who was so impressed with what he saw, he asked Doug to tour with him. Not a bad.

Too Good to Be True
Tim Bedore has been on a hot streak lately with his weekly Vague But True editorials, which is why we're so eager to find out what his next installment will be about. Over the past year, these musings have helped us learn a lot about Tim, including his predictions on the upcoming year, the joy he finds in defacing SkyMall magazines, the constant struggle between being a good father and a good comedian and his theory on how animals are trying to wipe out our species. But no matter the topic, we're happy he'll be reporting on it from his new home up north, where the introverts stare at their shoes and the extroverts stare at your shoes. Plus, make sure you stick around for the conclusion of VBT because Bedore now has a catchy little outro that you just can't help but sing along with.
