Episode 20 - Tom Mabe
Tom Mabe joins us this week to talk about prank calls, his first prank, and why come to Peoria when you’ve got your own TV show. Tom is the host of “Mabe in America” on CMT and can be heard regularly on the Bob and Tom show.
Here’s more on Tom:
Tom Mabe the comedian nationally recognized for getting revenge on those annoying telemarketers, is now going after junk-email, bad customer service, high gas prices and anything else that ticks off Americans. He has been dubbed the troubleshooter-troublemaker and comic with a cause by several national magazines and TV shows. You may remember hearing about the telemarketing convention in Washington D.C. where hundreds of telemarketing big wigs were hoping to get positive press for telemarketers and ultimately discourage any laws being passed that prohibit telemarketing. Mabe checked into the same hotel the telemarketers were staying, found out what floors they were on, what rooms they were in and started calling the telemarketers in their rooms at 3 a.m., trying to sell them stuff like sleeping pills. Everyone from Paul Harvey to The New York Times called Mabe their newest hero. Tom is an award winning songwriter and composer, he tours the country doing stand up comedy.
