ALONZO
BODDEN
Alonzo is no stranger to television and has
appeared on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Make Me Laugh,
Tommy Davidson's Showtime Special and the Keenan Ivory Wayans
Show. His acting credits include such varied shows as Thirty-Something
and the Power Rangers.
But, as with most comics, Bodden loves live performance and says that
"nothing, absolutely nothing" would ever make him give up
comedy. "That's the drug," he says, "when they laugh it's
like I'm a jazz musician and they hear it, and they get it. It's the power
to take the crowd wherever I want them to go. I love it when they laugh,
especially when they relate through laughter. Its a beautiful thing. It
also means I'm going to get paid, which is nice." Alonzo was
also a recent winner on NBC's "Last Comic Standing." |

FLOYD
SNEED
JOE SCHERMIE
From
1969-1974, nobody had more Top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more
concert tickets than legendary rock and roll band Three Dog Night. During this period
they were undoubtedly the most
popular band in America: twenty-one consecutive Top 40 hits, eighteen
straight Top 20s, eleven Top 10s, seven number 1s, seven million-selling
singles and twelve straight gold LPs. By late '75, they had sold nearly 50
million records.
The engine and transmission of the band was that of drummer FLOYD SNEED and
bassist JOE SCHERMIE. Together these two helped produce some of the
most memorable classic rock and roll songs of all time. Floyd is also an accomplished
painter and his work can be viewed and ordered at
www.floydsneed.net. |

TIM
CONWAY, JR.
DOUG STECKLER
Tim
spent his formative years practicing to become a great dancer. When not
working in front of the mirrors at the renowned San Francisco dance
company, "Last Leg Theater," Conway spent the rest of his spare
time working with Congo bands in an effort to produce the first "Bach
Congo." Ironically, it was during a
fund-raising event that young Conway tried to sell an almond candy bar to
an irate blind man with an equally hostile seeing-eye dog. The resulting
injury ended his dream of ever dancing professionally. Despondent and
eating only unsold sweets, Tim spent the next year listening to Talk Radio
in an attempt to erase the Congo rhythms from his memory. Fortunately the
Pickoli "The Pickle" Grunoskous, his former dance teacher and
mentor, convinced Tim that life still had meaning. Armed now with this new
courage, Conway is back on a desperate search for truth and intelligence. |

JAY
HEWLETT
Jay Hewlett has issues. He does
everything right and yet stuff happens to him. He figures it must be a
conspiracy. Like the time he didn’t pay his phone bill. He got letters
like, “Perhaps you forgot. “ “Maybe it slipped your mind.” He wrote
back: Nope, no freakin’ money. They canceled my credit cards. How do
you expect me to pay my phone bill?” Jay was the closest to a
Food Rules regular than anyone. He could be seen regularly as the
show's disgruntled Postal Worker. Jay performs regularly in Los
Angeles at the Comedy Store, The Improv and the Ice House. He plays
clubs and colleges across the country, and you’ve seen him on Comedy
Central’s Make Me Laugh, The Showtime Comedy Club Network,Saved by the
Bell, Hang Time ,Touchstone Pictures Krippendorf’s Tribe , the
Independent short “A Slice Of Life” or as the recurring character Phil
the photographer on California Dreams. |

MARC
COREY LEE
Marc Corey Lee's journey into the
country music scene began like most… early in life. His parents moved to
California in the 60's. MARC, who was exposed to everything from the
hippie-inspired songs of that era to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, heard a
wide variety of music coming from his father's console stereo. While
turning the dial, MARC discovered country music. The sounds he heard
branded MARC with a love of bluegrass and traditional country. His voice and his original compositions
have won him praises from both fans and the media, and have garnered him
much critical respect from within the industry. |

LARRY
HUFFMAN (The SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! Guy)
What has made
LARRY HUFFMAN
so successful when so many compete? The answer is his
style. He has been described as being able to speak "over 300
words per minute, clearly and distinctly," as well as serving as the
"conductor of the crowd." Larry conveys his own personal
enthusiasm and love of his work to the audience. He believes in
getting the people involved by demanding their participation
-"Are you guys asleep out there??!!" - and the crowd comes to
life. The audience loves the involvement and the participants of the
event are spurred on by Larry and the crowd. One fan commented,
"I scream so much I can't talk for the whole next day...and he's
why!" The Los Angeles Times captured
Huffman's style with an article entitled, It's a bird, it's a plane, it's
SUPERMOUTH!" Because of his talent, labels such as Supermouth,
Motormouth, The Mouth that Roars, The Screamer and The Fastest Mouth in
America have been used to describe him. Larry's announcing expertise
is in all aspects of motorsports, including off-road, motorcycle and
automobile races. He hosts special events, serves as emcee for
indoor consumer shows and has been called on to serve as a grand marshal for parades. |

BILL WOLENCHUK
Incoherent? Confused? Culinary Genius? These words have been used over and
over again in describing Food Rules sidekick known only as "Bill".
Ever since stumbling onto the Food Rules set in the summer of 1994, Bill
has become a Food Rules favorite among many of the show's younger
viewers. His
inability to mix two or more ingredients coupled with a passion to learn
everything about cooking, has helped fuel one of the funniest comedy teams
ever to stand in front of a cutting board.
