On CMT: Characters  

Tom Mabe
Tom Mabe, the comedian nationally recognized for getting revenge on those annoying telemarketers, is now going after junk e-mail, 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. He has two CDs on Virgin Records and one on Megaforce Records. His CD, Mabe in America, is released on his own label. It was released late 2006 and already is outselling other comedy CDs released by the majors. Mabe has an award- winning DVD, Mabe in the USA.

He is happily married with kids and lives in Kentucky. He drives a '99 Mazda 626 with a bitchin' cassette player and custom wheels.
