Join Jacqueline Foreman as she interviews one of the legends of comedy, George Wallace live from Las Vegas on Friday, June 5th at 8 PM EDT.  The interview can be listened to live or in archived format at www.blogtalkradio.com/yourmentalhealth

By the age of six George Wallace wanted to be a comedian, but knew he first needed an education. He attended college at the University of Akron, Ohio. Upon graduating with degrees in transportation and marketing, Wallace entered the advertising work force. Still, his dream of being a comedian had a strong hold on him. Within a week of leaving the advertising field, he began to perform stand-up comedy and was offered a job writing for “The Red Foxx Show.”

George won an American Comedy Award for “Best Stand-Up Comedian” after being continually nominated four years in a row. George’s television credits include HBO’s “One Night Stand,” Hallmark’s movie “Santa Jr.” (2002), “Seinfeld,” “The Parkers,” “Moesha,” “The Tonight Show,” “Oprah,” “Hollywood Squares,” “Late Show With David Letterman,” “Rosie O’Donnell,” “Scrubs,” “House of Payne,” “Politically Incorrect,” “Entertainment Tonight,” “Extra” and a guest-host on NBC’s “Later.” Wallace has also appeared in numerous films including “Heckler,” “Comedian,” “The Wash,” “Three Strikes,” “Little Nicky,” “A Rage In Harlem,” “Punchline,” “Batman Forever” and “The Ladykillers,” among others.

Las Vegas loves its resident comedic headliner, but even more so, Wallace loves Las Vegas in return. In 2004 he appeared as the headlining star of his own show at The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas for a 30 day run. “Sin City” showed its admiration by extending Wallace’s contract indefinitely.

Wallace’s most recognized material are his “Yo Mama” and “I Be Thinkin’” jokes, which encourage audience participation. Every show he selects a few people out of the crowd to go one on one in comical banter. He shows his gratitude to his audience by signing autographs and taking photos after every show.

Unlike any other comedy show in Las Vegas, Wallace gives away a number of prizes every night including  CDs, DVDs, diamond necklaces, dinner at prestigious restaurants, tropical cruises and even a new car. One of Wallace’s ongoing jokes is that he plans on calling past audience members in the middle of the night… to let them know they have not won the car. You never know what will happen at the George Wallace show. Wallace is an evolving comedian, which is why you will never see the same show twice. He is always thinkin’. Fans can now get a taste of what Wallace be thinkin’ at his website www.ibethinkin.com.

Wallace can be seen in “The Best 10 p.m. Show on the Las Vegas Strip” at the Flamingo Hotel. Showtime is at 10 p.m. every night, dark Sundays and Mondays.
