Poop
on This!
Any Fan of "Late Night with Conan O’Brien" or
"Saturday Night Live" is already familiar with Robert
Smigel’s work, though you may not know it. He’s
usually one for staying behind the scenes in his role as a writer.
Smigel has been a writer for SNL since 1985 (their longest running
writer), and during his tenure there created memorable characters,
however it was on Late Night where his most famous creation
was born, Triumph
the Insult Comic Dog. Triumph is notorious for his extremely
quick wit and relentless wisecracks on celebrities and pop culture.
This insult spouting canine has appeared on "Hollywood
Squares," "MTV’s Video Music Awards" and
was even sued at by pets.com for insulting their sock-puppet
spokesman. Much of Triumph’s best work was compiled for
the closer on Conan’s 10 year special a few weeks back.
If your a big fan of the cigar chomping, hat wearing, poop-loving
dog, check out his brand new CD Come
Poop With Me.

Little
Timmy Wilson
No comedian causes more controversy when they appear on the
air than the southern singer/songwriter, Tim
Wilson. Not to say we don’t find him hysterically funny,
we just do everything in our power to disassociated with him.
Aside from his unique voice (which makes him sound like a chain
smoker in his 60’s), Wilson is recognized for his love
of NASCAR.
Tim has tackled almost every aspect of the sport including the
hideousness of Dale Jarrett’s car, being born a NASCAR
fan, and Jeff Gordon’s sexuality.
Want to hear some of these great tunes? Check out the Tim
Wilson Audio Page.
All
Night Allstars - Produced by Tim Wilson, features the South's
finest singers and musicians, performing classic hits, hidden
gems, as well as some new favorites. Brand new material from
Greg Allman, T. Graham Brown, Bobby Whitlock, Jimmy Hall of
Wet Willie and Ronnie Hammond of Atlanta Rhythm Section. Every
track backed by Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Nashville's
finest session musicians, including Levon Helm, Larry Byrom,
Clayton Ivey, David Hood and A.R.S.'s Dean Daughtry and Steve
Stone.
FACTOID
– In a bizarre bit of irony, one of Tim Wilson's early
hit songs was titled “Garth Brooks Ruined My Life.”
This tune later helped him sign with Garth’s record label,
Capitol Records Nashville, in 1998. |

a huge fan following. He's become a favorite guest of Bob &
Tom, and never fails to entertain with classics songs like "The
Oyster Song," "Out Drinkin'"
(which appears on the new album Camel
Toe), and
"You’re There."

Voted
Most Likely To Become a Standup Comic
Kyle Dunnigan’s standup comedy career began as a small
performance during a talent show in high school and has since
blossomed into a successful full-blown act (however, his act
is still basically the same so expect a lot of jokes about gym
class, locker mirrors and snobbish girls). With impeccable timing
combined with a touch of sarcasm, you can’t help but laugh,
a lot, at Kyle’s brand of comedy, Dunnigan
has also been seen on NBC’s "Later with Craig Kilborn,"
MTV’s "Jim Breuer Show" and FOX’s "Cedric
the Entertainer Presents."

The
Lowell Sanders Show
According to comedian Lowell Sanders, the only difference between
him and Tim Allen is a hit TV show, movies and a few million
dollars… take away those insignificant traits and you’ve
basically got the same guy. Sanders has got a laid back brand
of comedy that’s provocative, intriguing and most importantly,
real. If that sounds like the type of comedy you dream about,
make sure to listen in when Lowell
Sanders stops by. Oh, and if he looks familiar, it may be
that you recognize him from his appearances on Home Improvement
(with Tim Allen, they played twins), The Drew Carey Show and
Evening at the Improv.

Having A.
Ball on the Air
f you saw this 6’5”, tattooed, goateed “freak
for life” meandering around your neighborhood, you might
be tempted to board up the doors and call the cops, but Allyn
Ball is no one to run from. This punk rocker turned family
man has been a happily married man for 20 years (to the same
woman), has a 15 year old daughter, and is adjusting to life
in the suburbs. Those who judge this comic by his outward appearance
are in for quite surprise because Ball’s material is deceptively
clever. In his own words, “Those who pay attention will
be rewarded.”
FACTOID - Ball started his comedy career when he won first prize
of $500 in a radio contest in Charleston, SC He then put some
material together and began to tour. |

The
NFL Song - Week 14
The end is near for the 2003 NFL season which
means the playoffs are right around the corner. Though a couple
of teams have solidified their playoff spots, many others are
battling it out for the few slots remaining. This weekend was
showdown Sunday in the NFL with five division leaders taking
on the #2 teams. The Colts were finally able to beat the Titans
in Tennessee, the Ravens destroyed the Bangles (big surprise),
Miami started their typical December swoon in the snow against
the Pats and KC got their jocks handed to them by Clinton "five-touchdown"
Portis and the Broncos. If you weren't able to catch all the
games, you're in luck. There's no better way to rewind all the
action of the weekend than with Duke
Tumatoe's popular, bluesy musical review, The
NFL Song.

He's
Knows
if You've Been
Bad or Good
Tom may have taken his kids to see the movie Bad
Santa, but almost every critic and even star Billy
Bob Thornton says it’s just for the adults. Bad
Santa is the new holiday film that follows the life of
a man who should be nowhere near children… let alone have
them on his knee. “He’s really just a loser,”
says Thornton “but it turns into a pretty good story.”
Though there's a fuss concerning the content of the film and
its less than child friendly message despite the title, Thornton
says it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before.
“It’s a just an R rated movie with some cursing
in it… like that’s never happened.” However,
according to Tommy G. about 100 of those profanities occur in
the first 90 seconds of the film. So make sure if you catch
Bad
Santa this holiday season, you leave the kiddies
at home.
Other colorful quotes from the Billy Bob Thornton interview:
- “All I had to do to prepare was put on a suit and take
a little Viagra.” Billy Bob Thornton
on his role as the president in Love Actually.
- “I listen to you guys every day on my way to work. I
love that Camel Toe song.” Bill
Bob Thornton on how much he likes the BOB&TOM Show

Too
Much Time On Your Hands?
Have some time to waste? Of course you do or you wouldn't be
reading this! Gary Apple has
the website for you. Stupid.com
is the one-stop shop for those in the market for crazy candy,
gross gifts, stupid jokes, and our personal  favorite,
goofy games. Apple has his "Stupid Buyers" traveling
the globe in search of odd, out of the ordinary, and utterly
useless items to sell on his site… things you won't find
anywhere else (and there's usually good reason for that). So
jump online, eat up some of that spare time you'd normally use
to look at porn, and click around at Stupid.com.
There are all kinds of hidden surprises located within the site,
so even though it may seem stupid, it will never get old. You
even have an opportunity to help
decide whether DOG POOP HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS might be the next
big thing!
Side Note:
Some of the stupidest items for sale on the website include
a Mr. T Chia Pet, 2004 Dog Poop Calendar, flamingo hat, and
desktop beach. |
