Culmination of Comic Genius

George Carlin. The name alone evokes a plethora of ideas, one of which is the moniker that I believe he deserves, "The King of Comedy". Why do I bring up one of comedy's most singularly defining characters? Carlin along with other comics including Brian Regan, Jeff Garlin, Bob Saget, Jim Norton, and Carlos Mencia will be featured on XM Radio's newest comedy series Unmasked. The series will be hosted by Ron Bennington, the co-host of the XM show Ron and Fez, featured along with the Opie and Anthony Show on XM Radios channel 202 "The Virus". Bennington, a comic in his own rite, is by far the most intelligent and compelling comic interviewer on radio today. The series will feature Bennington doing interviews with the comics, attempting to "unmask" their personalities. Bennington's skills as a entertainment interrogator, has been doing interviews alongside his co-host Fez Whatley, on their show since the late 80's, covering such names as Kareem-Abdul-Jabar, and John Mayer (only to list a few from weeks past). To get a better perspective into Bennington's mind, I suggest you check out the thread on Wackbag.com's Ron Bennington's Line of the Day. The site features all featured on XM 202. Here's a couple of my favourites:

"Ron on MLB Pitchers: They cant even jerk off...there worried they might pull there ACL"

"I'm a sink pissin' motherfucker. And if we're outside, that's a bathroom. I'm not waiting on line like were a bunch of women with vaginas."

Ron, talking to/about Dave (a producer) and bad decisions...

"You know what is the worst choice yet? When your mother let that pregnancy go full-term"


The series will air on XM COMEDY 150 Saturday at 8 PM and the Ron and Fez Show airs on XM THE VIRUS 202 at 12 PM on Weekdays with replays on the weekends.
