Faith Hill, performing at "Home For The Holidays"
The 11th Annual “Home for the Holidays,” will be airing at 8PM on CBS, on December 23rd. I was so glad to work on this benefit, raising funds and awareness for child adoption. It was a special night with many adopted kids in the audience, and performances by Faith Hill, Shakira, Carrie Underwood, Mary J. Blige, and Reba McEntire. It put everybody in the holiday spirit, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody out there!

Singing Bee on CMT Audience Warm-up
November 8th, 2009 Posted in Warm Up
Melissa Peterman, host of "The Singing Bee," on CMT
Everybody take your cowboy hats out of the closet, throw on some boots, and come and see “The Singing Bee,” on CMT.
I’m doing audience warm-up the next few weekends on this show, shot in Los Angeles. This show is a blast, and our host, Melissa Peterman is hilarous. I’ve got to thank my wife, Lucy, for getting me into country music, so I know some of the lyrics to the songs that are sung in this karaoke-type show.
We just taped the first four shows of season two this past weekend, and I’ll be opening for more shows on November 14th, 15th, 21st, and 22nd. Check out the show’s website below, and come and see a show sometime in November!
The show airs Saturday nights on CMT at 8PM. Yee-ha.

“Where the Wild Things Are”
October 30th, 2009 Posted in General
Today was Ellen’s Halloween Show. Can you tell who I’m dressed as? One of the best shows of the season, as always. Kellie Pickler and Rick Springfield were the guests. Also, make sure you watch Monday’s show, featuring Jim Carrey. He was fantastic. He makes a lady in a wheelchair walk. Its the truth. Finally, make sure watch the link from below….it is from Jimmy Kimmel’s appearance this week. One of the funniest things that I’ve ever seen on the show!

Ellen gives shout out to Audience Warm-up Tom Riles
October 21st, 2009 Posted in General, Warm Up
About a week ago, Ellen started out her monologue a little differently, by talking about me! It was pretty incredible, and I must say, I have the greatest job working over at that show. Take a look at the link below.
