For over forty years, she has appeared on seemingly every talk show on TV, has written and starred in five of her own one-hour Showtime standup comedy specials, written and directed two movies for Cinemax, and has hosted specials, series, and events.

William Lee Martin's comedy style is storytelling at its finest. With material based on the family man's real life, Martin's fantastic timing keeps the punchlines coming with just enough time to catch your breath between bits.Martin barreled into 2021 with fresh bits and new material when he kicked off his “All American Mutt Comedy Tour” in his home city, Fort Worth, Texas.Martin's career started in 1996 at the age of 30 where he rose at a meteoric pace from open-mic night to club headliner in just 3 short years. You might remember him as “Cowboy Bill.” He also entertained military troops overseas, toured with country music stars like George Strait, George Jones and Brad Paisley, and even performed with all four of the Blue Collar Comedy stars. In 2019, the Texas comedian released two brand new one-hour televisions specials with the Comedy Dynamics Network. You can watch “Standing in the Middle” (released Nov. 5, 2019) and “The Nutcracker – A Christmas Standup Spectacular” (released Dec. 10, 2019) on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google, YouTube TV, X-Box, Dish, Sling and in audio form on Sirius XM, Pandora, iTunes, and Spotify. These specials were the follow-ups to his 2015 self-produced smash hit television special on the CMT network, “Let the Laughter Roll”.Since the start of the covid-19 pandemic, Martin's gained almost 400,000 social media followers. He's been releasing live clips from his specials on social media (27 have over 1 million views apiece), appearing on national podcasts, doing his “4 pm Daily Talk Y'all” every day since March 18, 2020, occasionally hosting movie nights for his fans, and he even went 24 hours straight LIVE, all on Facebook.  Martin's “4 pm Daily Talk Y'all” is part inspirational, part humorous and some talks are just reminders to laugh even if you have to fake it. As he repeatedly says to his audience, “your body doesn't know the laughs are fake, so it still produces endorphins. So, fake it, America.” Martin said. “I just wanted to show people that to get through life sometimes you have to get through the minute, to get through the hour, to get through the day.”But perhaps Martin's proudest achievement is the success of his non-profit organization: The Cowboys Who Care Foundation, which was designed to provide support, smiles and free cowboy hats to kids living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.  The foundation is generously sponsored by Resistol hats.SongwritingIn the last few years Martin's taken his songwriting aspirations to new heights thanks to a publishing deal with Nashville's Myriad Publishing. “He has an amazing gift for words. It won't be long till everyone from Nashville to Austin will want to write with him” Steve Cox, president of Myriad Publishing.Support the show (http://www.paypal.me/BangProductions )

Craig recalls that he never watched a late night television show in his life before taking over The Late Late Show on CBS, what it was like working with David Letterman as a producer, and how doing the show 5 nights a week for 10 years made him fall out of love with show-business.  He says that late shows have become all about viral clips and clicks on the internet instead putting on a show for the tv audience and that he wouldn’t want to do a late night show in today’s politically charged environment.  We also discuss his decision to become a US citizen more than 10 years ago, the one state in the US that won’t grant him honorary citizenship, and why he’s still paying taxes in the US although he's now returned to his native land of Scotland.  Plus we talk about Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons, the Scottish production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple, and Craig’s breakout role as "Bing Hitler."
