This is a quick clip of the fastest wheelie competition winner at Stuntfest 2008 Cleveland.  Thompson Raceway Park was the site of this year’s event.  More clips coming soon!

While taping our latest episode of SHERIFTV at Kentucky Motor Speedway, we just happened to catch it on tape.  Ryan Donohue proposed to girlfriend Kerri Wilson in Tony Kanaan’s pit during practice for the Meijer 300 at Kentucky Motor Speedway on August 8, 2008.

Dean Obeidallah and friends made a video for Queen Rania of Jordan about stereotypes.  The video is called “Don’t call me that!”  I made a follow up video Midwest style!

This is the original video posted on Queen Rania’s Youtube:

Here is the video footage we taped earlier today at Stivers School for the Performing Arts where Obama gave his speech.

Senator Barack Obama will be in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio today for a town hall meeting at Stivers School for the Arts.  We found out about this last minute because we were in the middle of editing the pilot for the show so the outside world didn’t exist to us.

Fortunately, Rob Andrews, my producer and camera man tracked down the link to get media passes and we submitted in time.  I am going there on behalf of the National Arab American Journalists Association.  Our cameras are set up and we are going back at 9:30.

Wish me luck!

I will be writing an article about this even in addition we will be taping for SHERIFTV NEWS.

I’m excited to see Obama and what he has to say about the future of our country

I was friends with Bo way before this reality show.  From what I know of him he’s a good guy.  I judge people by the way they treat me and the way I see them treat others.  I hope he wins (it’ll boost my views too haha)

Rob and I will be heading to Thompson Raceway Park for STUNTFEST 2008 in a couple of hours. I’ve been talking to Scott Caraboolad for the past month about coming up to tape my show. I’ve been riding street bikes since 1999 and I was a fan of the Starboyz since the beginning. This is what I love about my job. I get to hang out with people I used to be a fan of years ago.

Scott has been kind enough to let me participate in Wheelie School on Monday and I can’t wait for that! I haven’t ridden much lately because I have a bad habit of wrecking bikes so this will be interesting.

I will also be taping for Full Throttle TV, a show airing on WRCX TV in Dayton, Ohio.

Come by and say hi if you see us!

Tonight on PBS, the series “America at a Crossroads” will air their latest episode featuring many of my friends. The episode is called “STAND UP: MUSLIM AMERICAN COMICS COME OF AGE.”

I’m very excited because it was taped at the 2006 New York Arab American Comedy Festival. Unfortunately I was not performing at the time so I was not there for shows. I did however participate in the 2008 New York Arab American Comedy Festival title “Arabs Gone Wild!” I guess they knew I was coming!

This series will hopefully elevate the awareness of Arab-American stand up comedy in America and around the world.

Last year Comedy Central’s Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour debuted Arab-American comedy on national television in America. The one drawback is that it was on cable. PBS is available to everyone and hopefully people will be interested enough to look up more of our material on sites like Youtube.

I owe a lot to Dean Obeidallah, co-founder of the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival and co-star of the PBS special. Also, I have to thank guys like Maz Jobrani (Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour, Friday After Next, The Interpreter and Knights of Prosperity), Ahmed Ahmed (Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour, Ironman, Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Tour, Executive Decision and Punked), Aron Kader (Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour and Premium Blend).

Ray Hanania was a tremendous help as he gave me my first opportunity to perform on a national level when we had the first Arab-American Comedy Show in New York City.

I’m looking forward to watching the special and I hope to hear people’s feed back on it.

I am still performing as a stand up comedian but I recently started producing a reality show called SHERIFTV. The show is based on my life and experiences. It’s a culmination of 12 years of hard work.
