Episode 136 - Michael Kosta & Jeff Bodart
Michael Kosta and Jeff Bodart join me on the show this week. We talk tennis, Jeremy Lin, and Australia. Michael has been on Conan, the Tonight Show, and Comedy Central Presents. Jeff has a podcast called Sticky Candy. He's also been heard on Bob and Tom.
Here's more on Michael:
Michael Kosta is a former professional tennis player turned comedian turned lovemaker.
Kosta regularly appears on The Tonight Show, and this year he performed in his first stand-up special, Comedy Central Presents: Michael Kosta. Michael was also chosen to host the backstage live show for the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards. He also made his Conan debut in the fall of 2011.
You may also recognize Michael’s sarcastic banter from his appearances on Chelsea Lately on the E! Channel, TruTV’s Smoking Gun Presents, Yahoo!’s OMG411, and Showtime’s Live Nude Comedy. He has also hosted pilots for MTV, NBC, and Comedy Central.
Kosta has performed at the HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen as well as the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal; at the latter, he was invited to perform at a Gala where he (somehow) followed Pamela Anderson.
Not just a pretty face, Michael can also be heard on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show and on The Playboy Comedy Channel on XM/ Sirius Satellite radio. For two seasons Michael hosted CCHA All Access on the Fox Sports Network, where he won a Michigan Emmy as a performer/host.
Michael lives in Los Angeles where he hopes to soon become famous and forget all the little people. You should sleep with him.

Here's more on Jeff:
Since starting stand up in 2001, Jeff Bodart has been making a name for himself performing in comedy clubs across the country. He has appeared multiple times on the nationally syndicated radio show, The Bob & Tom Show. You may have seen Jeff on the Comcast Cable network as well as The WB.
Jeff's style is so relatable you will feel you know him. Being the youngest in his family has prepared him for a life of comedy. His animated and goofy demeanor combined with edgy quips covering his dating life, working out, his favorite food of cheese sticks, and the fact that he could never be on "Survivor" makes for some great laughs for anyone watching his show.
Jeff has been fortunate to be able to bring is comedy stylings to the comedy festivals: The World Series of Comedy, Laugh Your Asheville Off and was also invited to perform at the Cape Fear Comedy Festival.
Jeff has worked with a lot of the top comedians in the country such as; Greg Behrendt, Ron White, Bobcat Goldthwait, Harland Williams, Tommy Chong and Caroline Rhea. Be prepared to love and become a fan of Jeff's once you have experienced the fun.
