The RevRep Podcast sits down with comedian Brandon Young! Brandon talks about his Dry Bar Comedy special, what it's like being the executive producer of comedy festivals, and which trading card the Reverend should just go ahead and burn in a fire. During controlled rowdiness there is a lot of confusion about vegetable, NWO vs WCW vs WWE talk, and a few very curious admissions. Brandon Young is a Christian comedian based out of San Diego, California who's been able to use a wide variety of topics ranging from strange observations to growing up in a small town with his weird family and why he despises people who dip French fries into milkshakes, to reach a vast array of people. His intelligently crafted material is a hit with all types of audiences. His Dry Bar Comedy special, Chicken Gone, was released in August 2021. He can also be heard on Pandora Radio and Spotify and seen on Comedy Time TV. Brandon's also been featured in festivals like the San Diego Comedy Festival, Paul Bunyan Comedy Festival, LaughFest, and Border City Comedy Festival. He's even worked with comedy legends Kevin Pollak, Cathy Ladman, Jimmy Brogan, Eddie Brill, and Dana Carvey. In May 2009, Brandon founded the Rock Comedy Ministry, arguably the first comedy ministry of its kind in the world, at the Rock Church in San Diego. Using a mixture of stand-up, sketch comedy, and improv, the Rock Comedy Ministry has been able to bring laughter to people who wouldn't otherwise receive it such as the homeless, elderly in convalescent homes, and cancer patients. Brandon specifically has performed for churches and other organizations and has been a part of fundraisers that have raised thousands of dollars for the Alzheimer's Association, global missionaries, victims of domestic violence, and victims of human trafficking among others. Originally from a small town in Michigan called Oscoda, Brandon is middle-aged, middle-classed, married to a woman way out of his league, has no kids, and owns a dog. Basically, his life is that of every leading man in every sitcom from the 1960's. He brings his Midwest charm and likability to a world that truly needs it.

Billy Crystal - not bad company) and changed his life. He did The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, who was already a fan of his, starred in the ABC sitcom Out of The Blue, where he also guested on Happy Days and Robin Williams kicked off his sitcom. He became closeasthis with Jay Leno, becoming his go-to guy, which landed him a gig on The Tonight Show, working with Jay and booking the comedians, becoming the power broker of TV funny.

Today's Guests: Maura Tierney, Rob Morrow, actors, "The Whole Truth" Rob Morrow, The Whole Truth, ABC   Maura Tierney, The Whole Truth, ABC They are two of America’s favorite and most charismatic actors. They are also a man and a woman who have retained their dignity and privacy as we’ve watched them mature and grow on television for the past—dare I say it? – two decades. Maura Tierney appeared in almost 300 episodes of NBC shows, including 100 “NewsRadio”s with the late Phil Hartman and almost 200 “ER”s. And Rob Morrow had similar runs over on CBS: 102 episodes of “Northern Exposure” and 118 episodes of “Numb3rs”. MAURA TIERNEY Audio Excerpt: "I did a TV movie with Diana Ross where I played a schizophrenic. Did you ever do that?" ROB MORROW Audio Excerpt: "No. I did a thing with Annabella Sciorra... My wife saw Diana Ross shopping at Gelson's the other day. She can't stop talking about it. Diana Ross pushing a cart!" Now they’re together for what I believe is the first time, co-starring on the alphabet network, ABC, in “The Whole Truth.” He’s an over-confident, wisecracking defense attorney named Jimmy Brogan; she’s Kathryn Pearle, an equally confident assistant district attorney. It’s a two-sided legal drama where viewers get both sides—and maybe a little more, hence the title.

Hey kids, I’m coming atcha once again from the high seas…no, I’m not smoking pot on a dingy, I’m working on the Norwegian Getaway…no comment on whether I’m stoned though. This week we continue our conversation with Jimmy Brogan (www.JimmyBroganOnline.com). … Continue reading →

This week is a fun one kids, I’m sitting in the studio/office with Jimmy Brogan (www.JimmyBroganOnline.com). Jimmy has been around since the 70’s and is still as funny and relevant he’s ever been. On part 1 we talk about his … Continue reading →

Jimmy talks about his first Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, starting out at The Improvisation in New York, and writing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

In today's episode, Carl and Aarthi talk at length about how awful Jimmy Brogan is, then share some of their own "worst hangover ever" stories, and then segue into Rosa's plotline. It's a short episode, but it's got some good meta and character notes, and Terry is the Team Dad as always.

Jimmy Brogan tells the story of when a 7-year-old topped him (along with a few other gems). Steve is moving, which means he's subjected to the criminals on Craigslist. And Danny learns he can also freak out in his sleep.

  Tony V. Baughman (journalist, DJ, comedian and actor) is today's featured guest. Topics: surprises he witnessed as a journalist riding on the John Edwards campaign bus; how politicians are now actors first and politicians second; why not being an actor may have contributed to John McCain losing the last presidential election; the danger that future organizations may hoard information; our civilization's vulnerability to its computerized distribution system; how acting a theatrical role alters a person dramatically but at a subconscious level; and one last mention of the cultural significance of events such as Bonnaroo. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the July 28, 2010 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 39 minutes] This interview was recorded at the WKSX studios on July 10, 2010, in Johnston, South Carolina. Tony V. Baughman has won awards for his journalism and for his stand-up comedy. Formerly a staff reporter for a daily newspaper, today he is Program Director and Afternoon DJ on 92.7 WKSX FM  in the Aiken/Augusta market. As an actor he has performed in various regional and community theater productions, and was an extra in Disney's 1997 remake of the movie That Darn Cat and the 2007 movie Who's Your Caddy? As a stand-up comedian he won the 2007 Battle of the Comedians in Augusta, Ga., sponsored by The Imperial Theatre, and has opened for Jimmy Brogan and Mark Schiff.  

Tony V. Baughman (journalist, DJ, comedian and actor) is today's featured guest. Topics: why most kids today don't even own a radio, and yet how it is that many of them love The Beatles; the value of the annual Bonnaroo Music Festival and why some consider it the modern day equivalent of Woodstock; how theater can be considered performance therapy; the lure of acting as a career as opposed to the safety of not striving for its lofty heights; and references to the Spencer Tracy movie Inherit the Wind, and the Meryl Streep movie Doubt. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the July 21, 2010 episode of The Future And You.

Tony V. Baughman (journalist, DJ, actor, comedian and program director at WKSX-FM) is today's featured guest. Topics: a behind the scenes look at the trends effecting newspapers and radio stations; how newspapers and radio stations are responding to the Internet stealing their listeners and readers; the one powerful advantage that all local newspapers and radio stations have over their national and Internet-based competition; and how radio stations are automated to sound like it's a live show when it's not.
