The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, Jan. 29

This week on the John Miller Program...

Chantel Williams started her life of comedy in the back of Buick; just about the time her family travelled across America to move to the great state of Oregon. Always witty and always astute, this young girl turned from street kid to non-famous blogger in a mere 27 years. Mediocre grades in high-school left her with no choice other than to marry her drug dealer boyfriend and shun her small town “Birthplace of U-Haul” for a slightly bigger town across the freeway. In that five years of her life there she gave birth to two ungrateful children, worked in a bowling alley, and drove a 1972 Camaro.It wasn’t long after another failed relationship that Chantel set her sights on the big city of Vancouver, Washington.

It was there that she found her greatest love; drinking red wine alone and in the dark. She moved on quickly from Vancouver to Portland, Oregon where public transportation is a plenty for drunks and where her unfulfilling writing career began. As a writer, she had an unfamous blog where many tens of readers came each day to track her daily drink and pill count. After her mother’s death, Chantel wrote a novel that is still yet unpublished due to its horrific writing and cruel unwarranted rants on racism and gender. A little skill she picked up in the Liberal University she didn’t graduate from. After Chantel’s children came of age she quickly kicked them out of the house and moved to San Francisco with her unemployed boyfriend and needy dog. She found there was never a city in the world as welcome to a racist Liberal as San Francisco. There she started a comedy club so her boyfriend would have legitimate excuses not to do the dishes and she could watch as others climbed ahead of her for fame and fortune. Oh life you cruel bitch!

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.

The ever so raunchy, sometimes offensive, yet delightfully half-naked... Ricky Luna is back to see us! He's a wild and crazy gay from San Francisco and ready and willing to say just about anything and do just about everything! With just about anybody!! HEY-o! I think he's a joy. Almond Joy. Cuz he's got nuts!!!

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. 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. Check him out Sugaboo...

Like a virgin, touched for the fifty-third time. professional comedian and muckraker Nate Blanchard will also be joining us! He's been rising fast in the Bay Area comedy scene winning fans from the queerest to the straightest clubs.

Tune in!

The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, Jan. 22

First up, we welcome the very talented and beautiful Iranian comedian, Nadine Rajabi! Currently, you can watch Nadine on Showtime’s "Hot Tamales Live", "The Skinny: Fat Free News" on MySpace TV and Hulu, and on The National Lampoon College Network where she has her own weekly half-hour show ("XM Underground" and "Press Pass") that syndicates to dorm rooms everywhere. You can also hear her on XM Satellite Radio (channel 154) on National Lampoon Comedy Radio ("Nadine @ Nite") Monday through Friday (6 pm - 9 pm), where she conducts celebrity interviews and shares her pop culture know-it-all-ness to the XM world.

Nadine’s other TV, radio, and writing credits include national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, Daddy’s Girls, TVgasm.com (current), Zazreport (current), weekly celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon (current) and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio (current).

Stuart Thompson is a rising comic in the Bay Area. Currently a student at UC Berkeley, he is the founder of The Alternates Comedy Club, the only stand-up group on campus, a writer for the Heuristic Squelch student satirical magazine, and a quarter-finalist of the 2010 Rooftop National College Comedy Competition. He has performed at historic venues, including Rooster T. Feathers in Sunnyvale; the 142 Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley; The Comedy Store in West Hollywood; and The Purple Onion in San Francisco, where he will be headlining on April 30th. Stuart is well known for his intellectual humor and many impersonations. This combination lends forth an barrage of high-brow comedy full of vibrant stories and unforgettable characters.

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.

The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, Jan 8

It's been a week. Have ya lost any weight? Did ya quit the booze? Did ya drop dem nasty cigarettes? Are ya workin' out? No? Don't worry! I have a diet tip for you. Listen to the John Miller Program with Susan Maletta. It will curb your appetite and/or assist in your regurgitation efforts! Just tryin' to help!! (I'm not saying we're gonna gross you out...I'm WARNING you that we're GONNA GROSS YOU OUT! But just part of the time. Look. Comedians tend to provide a lot of detail in their storytelling and we have on some expert story tellers coming on the show.)

Our first guest this week is the Editor for Comedy at MySpace, Scott Rubin!

Scott Rubin also used to be 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 on the show, Charles Orenthal James Patterson is joining us!

Aside from having the longest name in the universe, OJ Patterson is the definition of weird. He performs sophisticated, remedial, clean, dirty, abstract, anecdotal, nerdy, chocolate comedy at the Purple Onion, Dark Room Theater, Alameda and family reunions. Primarily a stand-up, OJ also performs improv and sketch comedy with the Sylvan Production Company. An absurdist, hypothetical wordsmith, OJ Patterson is a foremost student of the humorist craft and details his findings on the Bay Area-centric comedy blog Courting Comedy. Ultimately OJ is a lot of love nestled inside a misleadingly hulking body.

Also on the show...our old friend Cody Woods returns!

Cody Woods is a comedian that does comedy sometimes. He is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and is being black balled in the comedy industry. If you would like to see Cody perform, just find him on Facebook at: facebook.com/i.have.balls.of.gold so you can find a gig near you that he will not be getting booked at. His material is performed mainly in a topical and intimate style and is pretty edgy. Cody Woods also runs a shithole comedy venue on Stanford campus called the "750 Pub", where comics have the privilege of being enjoyed by people who will be making up to $450,000 within the next two years and happen to be the same type of people that comics often gawked at in high school. Cody Woods is also very articulate and his vocabulary is often filled with prestigious words like "gawk" and "high school". Cody Woods is part Irish and once had a dog.

And finally, we're going to welcome back an extra-special boy who once was a bright-eyed, bushy-assed intern on the John Miller Program with Susan Maletta! That's RIGHT! We're going to have Casey Ley on the show!

Casey Ley is a very funny local and touring headliner and comedy radio talk show host. He has toured with Fags and Hags, headlined Live at the Onion Series at the Purple Onion, worked at the San Francisco Punchline, Cobbs Comedy Club, and the Hollywood Improv. For the past two years he has also been a part of SF Sketchfest. He is also host of The Morning Show on PirateCat Radio, a weekly talk show focusing on news, current events and the bay area comedy scene. Get ready for fun and sexy mayhem with Casey!
