Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, a borscht belt entertainer for over 63 dog years, has enjoyed a career renaissance since being discovered by Late Night with Conan O'Brien at the Westminster Dog show, where he won the talent competition before being ejected for allegedly penetrating a Brussels Griffon. He has since made over 40 appearances on Conan, finally putting celebrities like John Tesh, Pauley Shore, and Bon Jovi in their place. Triumph has also successfully debased fans of Star Wars, Michael Jackson and Comic-Con, American Idol auditioners, and the entire province of Quebec. He has also appeared on Hollywood Squares, The Daily Show, TV Funhouse, Crossfire, The O'Reilly Factor, and the MTV Video Music Awards, where he nearly sniffed J Lo's butt and Eminem's crotch, respectively. His trademark catch phrase "...for me to poop on" was recently entered in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, although it was attributed to Anthony Quinn, w! ho said it first. His Grammy-nominated CD Come Poop With Me and DVD collection The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog are still available in stores other than Walmart.

Valley Lodge
Valley Lodge is the rock machine comprised of singer/guitar player and world-class entertainer Dave Hill (Dave Hill Explosion, Cobra Verde); guitar player/singer John Kimbrough (Walt Mink), guitar player/singer Phil Costello (Tragedy, Satanicide), bass player Eddie Eyeball (2 Skinnee J’s), and drummer Rob Pfeiffer (Sense Field). They are big in Japan (for real) and their 2005 self-titled debut is widely considered to be a power pop classic by people who listen to that sort of thing. Their new album “Semester at Sea” is equally as incredible. If music could get you pregnant, you would have, like, six of their babies by now, even if you got no lady parts.
