The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, July 31

Our guests this week are going to work out your funny boners hard! We have Scott Rubin (Editor-in-Chief of National Lampoon), Matt Purpura (US Brand Ambassador for Jim Beam), Ronn Vigh (98 pounds of fury), and Greg Asdourian (the door man at Azucar). (Ha! Ha! Just kidding Greggie!!!)

Our first guest this week is Scott Rubin, the Editor-in-Chief of National Lampoon, the most recognized brand in humor. Rubin's tenure began in 1999, when he created the award-winning National Lampoon Dotcom as an outlet for the NatLamp's cutting edge comic sensibility. The site's content was entered into the Smithsonian Institute for best exemplifying American satire in the weeks following the 9-11 attacks, and has been awarded "Best of the Web" from the Los Angeles Times, Forbes, USA Today, CNN and The Wall Street Journal.

The site is ranked as one of the most popular entertainment Internet destinations, with a monthly audience that exceeds 800,000 readers. Rubin also writes and produces television shows for National Lampoon Networks (NLN), a college cable channel seen by nearly 5 million college students. He executive produces the #1 rated Master Debaters, an irreverent, innovative debating show featuring celebrities, local personalities, and real college debaters.

Next up we have a bourbon connosseur joining us! His name is Matt Purpura and he works for a prestigious company that many-a-comedian supports financially, Jim Beam! That's right, Matt is the US Embassador for Jim Beam. We'll learn all about what this exciting job entails and hear some fun drunk-tales from his travels. Good times.

Next, one of our favorite regulars is back! The very fun, funny, and sexy Ronn Vigh! Ronn Vigh, so-sexy-it’s-difficult-to-not-jump-his-bones-while-he's-on-stage, brings his unique brand of comedy to clubs, colleges, and airport lavatories all over the world. His brash attitude and acerbic wit have earned him a comparison to a young Joan Rivers by SF Weekly. Well, if she were male, gay, and didn’t shoot Botox by the pound. He was featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing II and in 2005 founded and still co-produces the successful “Harvey’s Funny Tuesday’s” weekly comedy show at Harvey’s in the Castro District of San Francisco. No stranger to the comedy and alternative scene, he recently hosted Palm Springs Pride, headlined the Lake Tahoe Gay & Lesbian WinterFest, 10th Annual Michigan ComedyFest, and the list goes on and on and on--much like when Ronn speaks.

His one man show, 98 Pounds of Fury, enjoyed a successful run, appeared in the Off-Broadway smash hit 10 Naked Men, recently hosted coverage for the SF GLBT Pride Parade and gained much attention for a controversial off-the-cuff comment about bisexuals. He’s played Joan Rivers at Comedy Noir’s Jesus Roast, a gay Elvis Presley in a Vegas.com commercial, and a science geek in a Magrack ad displayed in NYC subways. Needless to say, he’s versatile (in many ways). He’s been heard on the radio waves and a frequent contributor to shows such as "Fernando & Greg" on Energy 92.7FM, Shake Radio on 960 AM, The Quake and Live 105’s KGAY Weekend in San Francisco. He currently reports, and was featured in, the New York Times for his "Weekly Show" on Vidsf.com. His biggest accomplishment to date: working as a flight attendant and he never smothers any of his passengers with a pillow.

And finally, we welcome back the oh so charming and funny Greg Asdourian! Greg Asdourian is a native San Francisco Bay Area entertainer. Born in San Francisco and now residing in the East Bay, he has been performing his relateable, endearing, and self-deprecating brand of comedy all over California, including the world-famous Comedy Store in Hollywood. Greg's stage time isn't limited to comedy. He is also a professional stage actor. Having done "Shakespeare in the Park" to most recently starring in the west coast premiere of "Evil Dead: The Musical" with the Willows Theater Company. Greg hosts a very funny comedy show at Bliss Bar on Monday nights in San Francisco, and can also be found Tuesday night's doing stand-up at La Tapatia restaurant in Concord.

Oh...ma...gawd. This show's gonna be HOT. Hotter than July. Hotter than John's temper during a Kaseem Bentley interview! AND, this show's gonna be cooool! Cooler than December. Cooler than John's balls! And bluer! :) (Ha! Ha! Just kidding Johnnie!!!) Now roll up your sleeves, roll up your pant legs, then roll up your doobies (or your boobies if they're saggin')

...then tune in!

The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, July 24

Ahhhh tonight's the night for fun and mischief! We have a great show tonight so stay home, save your cash, and have a few hours of non-stop laughter for free! Catch the madness of listening to comedians behaving and misbehaving in their natural environment. They say more than they plan to say. They do more than they plan to do. We learn more about them than we expect to learn....let's just say we know how to pry the juicy details of their personal lives out of them....and sometimes we reveal our own...(Who'm I kidding...sometimes??).

Always the class clown (and spending most of his formative years in the principal's office), Rob Brackenridge was destined to become a comedian. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Rob has been based out of Los Angeles since 1992 and spends most of the year on the road, "bringing the funny" to audiences around the world. He tours regularly for the U.S. troops on the Miller Lite "Lite Laffs" program, and his television credits include Comedy Central's “Make Me Laugh” and “Stand-Up, Stand-Up”. He is a favorite at the Improv, the Comedy Store, and Catch a Rising Star.

Dr. Brian King is a psychologist specializing in Human Sexuality, which always makes for some hilarious and sizzling conversation! Dr Brian has led many research projects, written papers, and presented at national conferences regarding his research on s-e-x. Hell, they even let him teach college a few times. He is not a therapist or counselor, but he is an opinionated smart-ass with regular access to a computer. He is also a fan of hip-hop, vodka martinis, and girls that wear skirts in the winter. Oh, and comedy. Dr Brian likes to think he's a comedian. Dr. Brian also produces the wildly popular Wharf Room Comedy Stand-Up Showcase at Castagnola's in San Francisco.

Kaseem Bentley is the Bay Area's number one insult comic and Tony Sparks, known to all in the SF area as the Father of SF Comedy, is one of the nicest and funniest comedians you can meet. He's also one of the best comedy hosts you could be entertained by. Wonderfully supportive to comics of all levels (newbies to veterans), he helps make stage time available to anyone who wants it. Tony Sparks is a class act when it comes to professionalism, supporting the comedy community, and bringing non-stop laughs and fun to us all. He hosts a hugely popular open mic in the SF bay area, the famed Brain Wash CafĂ© in San Francisco. This is where NO ONE gets turned down for stage time. Tony enlists the entire audience, every week, to welcome every new comedian with “A Lot of Love!!!” What? "A LOT OF LOVE!!!!!!" Tony Sparks can also be found performing comedy and hosting shows all over the place, and he produces, promotes, and/or hosts several shows all over the bay area.
