In 1977, Bob Zany started his career where most performers want to end up --on national television. At the tender age of fifteen, the native Southern Californian appeared on the infamous Gong Show. Halfway through his stand-up routine, which he read from a piece of paper, Bob Zany was pulled off the stage by a man dressed like a nun wielding a net. Eleven years later, Zany made a triumphant return to The Gong Show, this time as a celebrity judge. Though the initial experience was painful, it marked the first of over 100 appearances on national television.
In 1981, while attending Mt. San Antonio College, Bob Zany applied for a job as a newcaster at the campus radio station but was turned down. Later that year, Zany auditioned for the owner of The Ice House in Pasadena. The audition took place in the middle of the afternoon in a club that seats 300. From the only occupied chair came the voice of the owner, 'You're not ready.' Bob Zany looked around the empty showroom and said 'Neither is your club!' Undaunted, he talked the owner into letting him produce his own show so he could have the stage time, and for the owner, an audience. The result was The Bob Zany Show. The shows sold out consistently-- with everyone Zany knew from his hometown, West Covina, and then some--in attendance. After one show, Bob Zany was approached by Frazier Smith, the host of a top-rated radio show on KLOS/LA. After a short time doing guest spots on Frazier's show, Zany was hired by KLOS as a personality with his own show on Saturday mornings.
His other accomplishments include the creation of Bob Zany's Comedy Outlets, with over 50 locations throughout California and Nevada; a comedy album Hi Home, I'm Honey; a soon-to-be published diet scrapbook, Laugh at Fat, Bay-bee!, which chronicles his 175-lb weight loss; numerous roles in feature films; and the highlight of his career to date, being hired by his idol, Steve Martin, to appear on George Burns' Comedy Week.
Bob Zany's stage persona has evolved over the years, but the dramatic weight loss in 1991 caused the need for a major overhaul...along with the 175-lbs, he lost 30 minutes of his act! Bob Zany spent the following year doing late night spots at Hollywood clubs, trying to 'reinvent' himself. The result is the cigar-smoking, audience-interactive crowd favorite Bob Zany we know and love today.
Donnie Baker has been calling the BOB & TOM Show for years (whenever he can get away from his #!?@%*? of a boss, Randy) and he's also released a number of CDs, but now you can finally see Donnie Baker live and in person. That's right, Dishman (Randy's boss, and the one that actually hired Donnie) has given Donnie some time off, which means he's now traveling the country, and bringing his unique brand of humor (and plenty of Mountain Dew and "Woof" shirts) to Bowling Green, KY!
