Mabe in America
Tom Mabe is featured in CMT's hidden camera series Mabe in America.
Wow, I almost gave up! I've been in this industry since I was a teenager. I've been paying my dues for so long I was about ready to ask for a refund! Finally a show. And a good one at that!
Here's the journey, a lot of people know my work but don't know it was me that did it. I have several prank phone call CDs, Revenge on the Telemarketers round one and two, A Wake Up Call For Telemarketers and my latest CD that shares the same name as the show Mabe In America.
I guess the most famous call would be the Murder Scene Call, where I tell a telemarketer from Littleton, Co. that I was homicide detective and he was a suspect. Me and my best friend Jimbo have been producing CDs and video pranks since we were teens (4 years ago). After about 20 million views on youtube and 12 years of doing radio, networks started to pay attention again. I had two other pilots on other networks but had people from out west telling me how a guy from Kentucky should talk. "I'm from Kentucky, let me just talk!!!" OK, I was younger and just didn't have the skills to deal with those Hollywood types. I'm older now and recently graduated from the John Feld school of Network TV.
So... The Show! I'm use to releasing a CD every 2 years. We're doing a show every week!! We have been shooting for 40 days straight without a break. After we shoot, Jimbo and I meet up to write and record the voices for the animation. I have lost 12 pounds and aged 12 years. I saw the first few bits today at the edit house and said "That's it! I'm sleeping at least 4 hours tonight, I need it!"
We're constantly writing and trying to come up with new ideas, so if you guys have any prank stories or prank ideas I'd love to hear em!!!! (My e-mail address is below) Gotta get the kids up and take them to camp early, then back at em. I'll type more later. Lots of great behind the scenes stories!

Lon says:
Tommy,
I was over at Eddie’s place with the family. We got quite a few laughs! I think it went well… of course I’d seen the pond prank… the ambulance bits were very funny, and I was almost expecting to see some familiar faces at the “Lounge” where you were singing…
I can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeve for next week.
Take care, and my regards to Jim… I wouldn’t have recognized him if I’d bumped into him on the street.
God bless!
Roger says:
The show is hilarious, innovative and fun…. The pranks are more intelligent and entertaining than I expected…. I could use the gas card but unfortunately I was on the ground in hysterics during the part where Tom circled around the guy supposedly stealing the car ‘get in, let’s go….. get in!’…. The look in that guys eyes was priceless. Thanks for the great entertainment - can’t wait to see the next show. Don’t burn yourselves out by working too hard, keep it fun!
Larry says:
The music was unbelievable!!!!!!
Wheelchair Bellring says:

Chris Dill says:
Tom, the show was great and that animation ROCKED ;) lol, err, um, rather — > LAMA (Laughing At My Own Animation) Coming back to pick up your “accomplice” in the stolen car bit was the best!
Teresa O says:
Loved your first episode! My favorite part was the two men who stopped at the deer crossing sign. The ambulence scenes were great but too many of the ambulance in just a 30 minute time slot. I have an idea, That is that George carlin hit the nail on the head with the stupid stuff people think and do. You have so many wounderful opputunities with this show. There are so many things you can pick on.I believe you are alot smarter than you are handsome.LOL.I am emailing all my friends about the show and asking them to forward on to others.Your animation characters are awesome.Laughed my but off. Will be watching and Good Luck, Keep up the good work. Teresa Owens Spfd,Mo
angie dahlman says:
I LOVED THE SHOW TOM IS SO FUNNY AND THE ANIMATIONS WERE GREAT. LAUGHED MY BLEEP OFF. CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT EPISODE. WILL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TO WATCH NEXT WEEK. EVEN MY 78 YEAR OLD AUNT LIKED IT. HAVE TO GIVE LOTS OF CREDITS TO ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE MAKING OF THIS SHOW. KEEP THE LAUGHTER COMMING AND KEEP THE ANIMATIONS COMMING ALSO. VERY FUNNY SHOW. HOPE TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THESE SHOWS. WE ALL NEED A LOT OF LAUGHTER WITH EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON NOW DAYS. I AM AGE 57 AND HOPE TO BE AROUND TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS SHOW. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FUN AND LAUGHTER IT GAVE ME. LOTS OF LUCK. ANGIE
DAVID DAHLMAN says:
I WATCHED THE SHOW FRIDAY AND THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. LOVE THE COMEDY AND THE ANIMATIONS ALSO. IT WAS MORE FUN THAN WATCHING FIREWORKS. KEEP IT COMMING. WILL WATCH IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS AS GOOD AS THE RED GREEN SHOW. NOW THAT IS SAYING A LOT, SINCE I AM A BIG FAN OF THE RED GREEN SHOW. I LIKED TOM’S COMEDIES AND THE FUNNY ANIMATIONS ALSO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, WISH YOU LOTS OF SUCCESS. KEEP US ALL SMILING. SINCERELY DAVID D.

Bob A says:
Tom, I’ve been listening to you for years on the radio. I wasn’t sure if I had CMT but found it and glad that I did! Your show was the funniest thing I have seen in reecent memory! Looking forward to more!
Bob
Herb Richard says:
Great Show ! Tom is so funny!
Sharon Garrison says:
Being an “ambulance driver”, a term used by uninformed people, I find your ‘humor’ more than tasteless. I work my butt off, after 14 years of experience, for less than $12.00 an hour, putting my patient first ALWAYS. I have been spit on, bled on, puked on, peed on, ‘pooped’ on; I have been called every name in the book; I have held dead babies in my arms; I get out of my warm bed at 2 o’clock in the morning to climb down a hill and try to keep someone alive until we can get him/her out of the car and to the hospital because they were hit by some stupid drunk driver who doesn’t get a scratch; I have been punched; I have been the reason that a couple of people lived AFTER their heart suddenly stopped beating. The general public is uninformed enough without you putting the idea out there that we are a bunch of lazy, self-centered, irresponsible idiots!!!! Thanks a lot for setting EMS (Emergency Medical Services) back about 20 years. You may find it funny but those of us who do the job don’t!!!!!
Tom Mabe says:
Thank god for people like you. You take your job serious and appear to be very good at it! So sorry it rubbed you the wrong way. Remember, this is a comey show. In show four I make fun of myself…. Please don’t think that the bit represents all EMS drivers. Just the one’s who aren’t as pro as you are.
Best
-tom mabe
You gotta admit, it was a funny bit!
Ghengis A. Osmosis says:
Congrats!
Caught the show the other night.
The Hillview lounge was a nice touch….
Perhaps you could sit in on drums at the county line bar or lemon tree lounge with a tribute to Eddie “the real Crusader”.
Take Care!
Cheers,
JH
scott says:
Hey Pizza Tom,
I just caught your show on CMT. hilarious! I wanted to take a moment to drop you a line and congratulate you on it. I added it to my TiVo Season Pass (that’s the true testament of success). The old lady holding the IV bag while you drove away was priceless.
Hope to see you soon,
Scott
Sharon R says:
Tom, I’ve listened to you on the radio, love your bit about calling your cell phone service cause of an “echo” your hearing! Would love to see you in person sometime! Look so forward to your show! You’re a cute hunk o’ “Man Candy”!
tom Mabe says:
“Man Candy?” cotton candy? Have you seen me without a shirt on? I’m pilsbury’s dole boys fat uncle! I love you, thanks for the kind words!!!
Devyn F says:
Love the show!! ^-^ I like the animations and the bit where you get the guys fishin to do jumpin-jacks and you run off with their clothes!Im tryin hard to come up with something…by the way you look kinda like Bill Engvall!!

Shane T says:
To Tim Mabe,
Just saw your first show that a friend taped for us and we were totally disgusted. The sketch showing you killing those innocent puppies was shocking and uncalled for. The one where you beat up those nice elderly women was not funny and made our children cry and throw up their supper. Also, the one where you made fun of handicapped people made us all physically ill. And lastly, we did not like the sketch where you sold crack and heroin to those elementary school children then stole their lunch money. As a side note, I would personally suggest a little less nudity, graphic violence, and foul language in future shows.
I intend to send a copy of this first show to my mother in law in Canada. I never did like that woman.
In all seriousness, your show was definitely thirty minutes long and had commercials in it, and that comment comes directly from my heart.
Congratulations on show one and wishing you much success on the rest of your season.
Shane T
tom Mabe says:
Dude, that’s the funniest thing I have ever read!!!!!!!! Thanks for making my night!

Tom Mabe Show Animal Wrangler says:
This is in response to a comment made by Shane T.
It is important to emphasize that not one innocent little puppy was harmed or killed in the first sketch of the show. What got killed were the two dozen cute little fuzzy kittens that we dressed up in very expensive little puppy costumes. We would never hurt a puppy.
I am glad that I was able to clear that up.
tom Mabe says:
That may be the funniest thing I have heard today
Tom Mabe Show Animal Wrangler says:
This is in response to another comment made by Shane T.
It is important to emphasize that not one nice elderly woman was actually beat up in the second sketch of the show. What got beat up were another two dozen cute little fuzzy kittens that we dressed up in very expensive elderly woman costumes. We would never intentionally hurt an elderly woman.
I am glad that I was able to clear that up.
Devyn F says:
to Tom Mabe Show Animal Wrangler,
WHAT THE HECK!??!? WHAT’S WITH THE TWO DOZEN KITTEN CRAP YOUR DOIN’!?!?!!?? P.E.T.A. is gonna go after you
Shonda says:
Can’t wait for the show tonight! I have watched the first one at least half a dozen times :D Thought it was great! Keep it up!
Sissy says:
I hope they keep you on for ever, you are great. GOOD LUCK.
watching week 2.
Tom Mabe says:
Thanks everybody for watching!!!!!! We have one more day of shooting then I’m taking a break and getting a real massage!
Roger says:
OMG, the Dumb Ass Parking thing was great, along with the cellphone eavesdropping bit, the way the bald guy got right the up and out of there the minute Tom left…. Your stuff is on a level beyond Tom G, Jackass and most of the other mainstream “prank” comics…. Consistently intelligent and hysterically funny… Thanks (it’s even funny without 420)
STORMBOY says:
I was expecting something good…but your comedic mind actually pressed it to another level! Very…very creative. I’ll explain what I mean to you someday! Best of luck.
Tom Mabe says:
Thanks Stormboy!!!! We wish we had more time to shoot! But e’re very happy with everything, we have a great team!
debora says:
loved the show 7/11/08
VERY FUNNY!!
i really loved the touching bit about the food for the homeless/undercover officers.
they got fed & we got to laugh.
PRICELESS!!
Tom Mabe says:
Thanks Debora, just trying to have some fun by helping folks

Sandra says:
Hi Tom
I watched your show yesterday July 12,2008. You were talking about high gas prices, and you said the only way to get your air checked, windshild washed, oil checked, ect. was at a pit stop in a car race(sorry don’t remember which one). Well I am here to tell you you still can get all that. My husband and I live in a small towm in south Mississippi and we own a gas station, a full serv station. We still pump your gas and wash your windshild. We will even check your oil, water and fix your tires. And we have self serve prices. Next time you down south look us up. By the way loved the show. You keep up the good work and we will too. Sandra in Ms.
Jim Cornell says:
The show was very funny.It was cool what he did for the two homeless guys………
Tom Mabe says:
Hey gang! getting ready to shoot another TV show, tell me your best pranls you pulled in folks or prank ideas….
Keep watching Mabe In America!
thanks

Redneck Rob says:
Maybe Mabe would make a mad maid more money by maybe making her match Minute Maid cans in the Maytag?
Redneck Rob says:
MABE is da man!
Rock on dude!
Redneck Rob says:
Malls Mabe…Make me merry. ‘Magine that?
Tabitha says:
I had the pleasure of “meeting” Mr. Tom Mabe a few days ago at a mall in Kentucky.
I was offered some Assteroids (haha) and had NO idea what was going on, until I walked away and a girl informs me that my “meeting” had been filmed.
can’t wait to see if it gets aired!
Happy Door-ditcher says:
Is the old/almost-dead guy you use in the Ambulance real? that would be so scary to have to hold his IV pouchBag thingy! ewww!
Happy Door-ditcher says:
Tom- i admire how often you visit and write comments!
:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :*
Gassy Gus says:
Your show gave me gas…because every time I laughed, I swallowed air.
Now, my beer belly is so expanded that it feels like it’s agonna pop at any moment.
I shoulda forced myself to NOT laugh so I coulda got that dang free gas card that CMT is braggin about.
Now I’ma wonderin’ though…can flatulence fuel a car?
I hear they’re using pig farts to run factories down in Alabama.
Maybe that’s the answer to the gas crisis in America.
Farting rednecks save the world. Stay tuned on CMT for details on how Bubba’s hot air is helping his Ford run.
And beware: If you watch Mabe in America. you’ll get gas…one way or another!
Whewwwwwmercy I feela big ‘un cummin’ on.
*burrrrrrrrrrFARTpppppppppp*
Hank the Yank says:
That bit about feeding the homeless is priceless!!!
What a great way to help society. Not only did you get a free meal for someone who needed it, but you made a lot of people laugh. And we all know that laughter is the best medicine, right?
Keep up the great work!
Maybe next time you can figure out a way to clothe strippers. Wait, I take that back. Why ruin a good thing!?? I like my strippers nekkid!
Susie Q says:
What’s this I hear about u having an affair with Will Ferrell or was it Ben Afleck or that other curly-haired guy??
Wait, you’re not Jimmy Kimmel! THANK GOODNESS
He sux. You ROCK!
I’m also wondering if Tim Wilson, the guy who used to do the Big O Tires commericals is from your hometown? There must be somethin’ FUNNY in the water around there!!!
Tom Mabe says:
Wow! I was in Nashville walking to get a sandwhich and some lady and her daughters said, “Your that guy, Tom Mabe!” I was so flattered until she start telling me about the bit she hated! Nonetheless, it’s a fun little ride. Jimbo and I have been writing these bits for 15 years at least.
We’re starting to write more now for either a movie or another season. I feel we got some really good stuff. I love the fact that e live in Kentucky. Everyone thinks you have to be in LA or New York to have something worth putting on TV. For several years Jimbo and I would watch TV and say, what the hell is that?! That’s not funny! Of course we were watching the news.
Mabe In America was the most watched cable TV show this past weekend! Two guys from Kentcuky, writing/producing one funny show. I gotta tell you, it feels really great. And all the kind words you guys are saying! Thanks so much!
If you don’t live in LA or NewYork, you live where the rest of us live, I’m so happy that CMT Nashville has given me my own show and let me and Jimbo do our thing.
By the way Timmy Wilson is my neighbor in Kentucky, he’s always on the road and he lets his grass grow 2 to 3 feet! He’s got more money than god, you think he’d hire a lan care company. Hell, I’ll do it for $40
I’m in Nashville tonight, doing radio in the morning to promote Friday nights show. It comes on 9:30 eastern time this week. Hey, you guys really liked that fart machine massage chair deal. Maybe I need to write more like that, Jimbo farted in 3D yesterday, it wasn’t pretty. I kicked him outta my truck!
Don’t know about you guys, I love Carrie Underwood but if see that commercial of her being the miniature horse whisper, I’m going to blow a gasket! You’re probably thinking the same thing about my show! I’m rambling, I’m in my hotel room just typing away and drink BudLight. There’s no Damne spel check on this thing!
good night!!!
Jennifer Donnelly & Family says:
That sketch you did about feeding the homeless men was the single best thing we have ever seen in any hidden camera show on television. It was perfect in every way. You should have sent that one to the cable news networks for everybody to see. Several days after watching your show, we are still talking about it at our house. We would like to know how you came up with such a clever idea and what the restaurant manager said when he found out it was all just a joke?
For our family, Homeless Men Joke = Genius At Work !!!
Keep up the brilliant work Tom Mabe.
Tom Mabe says:
Thanks Jennifer! The show is rating through the roof! Thanks to folks like you who keep watching it!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I think the homeless bit is my favorite too. I’m writing more feel good bits like that now

Beach Girl says:
My husband accidently found your show and called me into the other room to watch. We haven’t laughed so hard (together) in the whole 22 years we’ve been married. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to watch your next show!!! You are brilliant!
Tom Mabe says:
Thanks! you can find all the show times at CMT.com and TomMabe.com
Beach Girl says:
Well - that’s how I found this site… Here’s some food for thought… I went to my computer to “surf the net” so I could find out more stuff about you and when we could watch you again… you know the information highway…
The way we first found you, was from my husband watching TV “channel surfing” (which drives me crazy! - that’s why I was “in the other room”). So there are 2 more topics for you. What you come up with will be our treat!
Here’s a 3rd topic - how to spice up a marriage: watch Mabe in America (together) and laugh your ass off (together)!! We still love each other to death, but we’ve got independent interests… so it was truly fun to watch something together that we both got excited about.
Again, thank you! Please keep up the great work! I honestly can’t wait till the next show airs!
Bethany L. says:
Wow! Your comedy is hilarious! It makes me wanna go out and bug the crud out of people just for no reason….hm…your poisoning the youth of America lol! I am glad your show is on the air though! I live in Kentucky and personally it says alot to have someone from Kentucky getting to make it big! But, thanks again! Keep the good comedy coming!!!
Tom Mabe says:
Bethany!! you rock. You made my day! The show has just taken on a life of it’s own! More and more people are tuning in. My buddy Jimbo and I are writing new bits as I type this, thanks again!
-tom
RJ says:
If he did the gas station gag on me and scared me the way he did those people, there is no telling ,I might beat the hell out of him.
RJ says:
But I will have to say I laughed my butt off. I thought only people did stuff like that only in Mississippi.
Tom Mabe says:
Tonight another show!!!!! 9:30 eastern!!!!
margaret says:
TOM MABE………….FANTASTIC !!!!!…..more shows like this, please !!!….we had such a fun…this is great comedy and the man knows how to do it….finally something different….THANKS
Tim Bradley says:
Dear Tom. (Kinda like Dear John but with out the breack up)
I Just watched the video for Ambulance chaser. I personally thought it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I have worked in EMS for 18 years. I have seen alot of he** in my time doing this job and I have found that laughter is truly the best medicine after a really bad shift. I read an earlier post and I think that at times we forget to laugh at our selves sometimes. I have had patient’s that I wish I could have had the truck breackdown so I could get them out of my hair. These folks are the ones that truly abuse the 911 system. Like calling for us at 3:00 A.M. for a tooth ache. Or just becuase they are drunk and cant figure out why they peed all over themselves. Those same drunks also tried to LICK me or my partner. The world of EMS lets me see folks at their best and at their worst and every where in between. Oh the skit would have been more realistic if the patient would have not been wearing any underwear beneath the gown but that would have led to criminal charges. Next time call a veteran medic up and ask them what the funniest call was that they had ever been on. Keep up the good work.

Angie says:
Hey Tom,
I love that you are MABE in Louisville. I love seeing you pranking people around town! The massage you got at J-mall was awesome! I see people getting those all the time! My husband and I have seen you at Comedy Caravan. We are big fans.
Mabe In NC says:
Hey Tom! We love your new show! Great stuff especially the giving the homeless guys food prank. Very touching and funny.
I married a “Mabe” nearly 27 years ago and we’re still having a blast! We have always had a problem with everyome mispronouncing our name though. We have been called Mole, Mare, Make, Maybe, May, Mobe and who knows what else. It’s such a simple name…one syllable, long A…. yet very few ever get it right! Now with your hit show, hopefully our name will finally be pronounced correctly. Yay for Tom Mabe! We enjoy your show and have told everyone to watch it. Look forward to many more laughs from you!

i loved the telemarketer
Chrissy says:
Hey Tom, I have been watching your show for about a week now, and I have to say that I love the telemarketer pranks. I always mess with them when they call, it is one of my favorite things to do!!!! Keep up the good work!
~Chrissy from NY
Chrissy says:
Here is an idea for something that I think would be funny. I have always wanted to drive one of those little kiddie cars through a drive through and see what the people do.
Terri Silver says:
Tom, I discovered your show for the 1st time this weekend and you are amazing! You have the wildest mind. Where do you get this stuff!?!? I’m watching the car stealing bit right now. Hilarious! My Mom was a Mabe here in North Carolina before she married Dad. So I am at least 1/4 Mabe! I always thought they were a little nuts! My Dad says it sounds like a henhouse when they are all together at reunions. I hope you continue to do well, and grow and change and chsllenge our minds. You are unique, and I hope Hollywood discovers you! You are destined to become one of our greatest living comics!
bryan says:
this is the best show cmts had in years keep up the good work
Kari says:
OK… I had to get on here and check out who Tom Mabe was and where did he come from. We caught this show this past week and I have told everyone that I know that they have to see it. I have not laughed at a TV show or movie like I laughed at Mabe in America in years. I laughed so had my sides and stomach hurt!!! My favorite was the cell phome eavesdropper and the ambulance drivers. This show will be a huge success and I am a fan!! My TIVO is set. Good Luck Tom
Ron says:
My wife and I haven’t laughed so much about the same thing in years as your show. We plan to try some spins on your telemarketer calls….aren’t they just the most annoying thing. Keep up the hilarious revenge.
Stephy says:
You’re funny as s*#t! Love what you do! I record the shows and just watched your latest one again and my sides still hurt! LOVE YOU!!!
anonymous says:
This show is too funny!! I laughed out loud which I don’t do very often. Thanks for the smiles!!! Can’t wait for the next episode!!!
Mike says:

jimbo says:
Tommy I love your show,boy are you funny.
I gotta tell ya , that jimbo buddy of yours really makes the show for me
and boy is he good lookin.
hot is what he is just plan hot!!!
and my momma thinks he’s real funny too..
D.A. says:
I think your show is Funny!! Show Idea~ I went to a mall with fake money….I folded it and dropped it on the floor… sat on the bench and enjoyed the show as people thought they found $$$…(the fake money was smaller in size than real money)
Tom Mabe says:
Wow!!!! I can’t tell you how nice it is to hear all these great comments! Jimbo and I are working on new bits and coming up with some fun stuff!!!!!
I’d like to thank everyone for watching! We really appreciate you guys!!!!
Kimi says:
Tom,
I have watched every show you have on CMT. I am disabled and in constant pain and can find little that can make me smile on TV these days but when I watch you in action it makes my pain go away and I find myself cracking up laughing and it is very therapeutic for me. I thank you so much for finding a way to come to us with your pranks via CMT since it would be hard to see you live in concert because I’m a bit sensitive about having to go places in a wheelchair since I have nerve damage to my feet. The skit when you sang the National Anthem in all the different places expecially the bowling alley was over the top. I also like the cartoons that come on during the shows. Let your sidekick know he’s also doing a super job. I think you are very handsome and I love very tall men so there it is. Keep up the good work and you sure have my vote.
Mabe In NC says:
Hey Tom, I don’t know how you feel about snakes… but we actually raise non-poisonous snakes… yes, people say we’re crazy…but my husband has always loved snakes and we have bred them for 25+ years now. (they actually do the breeding themselves…just wanted to clear that up). Anyway, we’re going to Daytona Beach Florida for the National Reptile Breeders Expo Aug 23 & 24th. Just wanted to invite you and Jimbo down for an interesting time. There will be over 10,000 people from all over the world buying & selling snakes and snake related items. I actually make and sell snake earrings and other jewelry. (Not for the snakes to wear… besides snakes don’t even have ears)….anyway, you might meet some interesting people to prank there. Just a thought.
We love your show by the way. We have told everyone about it.
Take care!

Myrtle Beach, SC loves ya. You crack us up, and so glad to see ya on CMT, it’s like a breath of fresh air seeing good comedy on tv.
Tom Mabe says:
Well Well Well! That was one of the nicest things I heard today. My sidekick and co writer of the show Jimbo loves Chics who ride Harleys. I ride a snnapper riding mower from time to time. You gotta love Myrtle Beach. Who know’s Jimbo and I may show up down there on our riding mowers down the road.
keep watchin!
Thanks again for you blog Harley Chic!

Hello Tom!
Thanks to you, I am a recovering telemarketer. It wasn’t until I heard your CDs that I realized the error of my ways! Now, my family is no longer ashamed to claim me as theirs and are happy to get my calls!
Seriously, congrats on the new show! It rocks! Thanks for being a great rep for Kentucky man!
tom says:
Come to the other side Hardin County Line! Glad to hear that you saw the light and qui your telemarketing job. We have been working hard to convert people over to the bright side. Thanks so much for watching Mabe In America on CMT! The home for great country comedy!
We love love you and your kin folk!
Friday is a new show, 9:30.
Thanks from me and Jimbo!
-tom mabe from Kentucky!
Cindy says:
Dear Mr. Tom Mabe,
My brother sent me the YOUTUBE of the telemarketer and since then my family have been hooked. We love your shows, your talk is clean and can be seen by the whole family. I truly appreciate good clean humor and the fact that your shows and videos are right on the money for Americas pet peeves. May God bless you greatly. Keep up the great videos…it helps us so much. My son is going through a very difficult custody suit to get custody of his three youngest children, and when he sees your show he laughs, and it does my heart good to hear him laugh. God bless you and thank you.
Tom Mabe says:
I will keep you and your son in my prayers tonight. Family is so important! Sounds like your son has a great mom!
Nothing ends good or it wouldn’t end, but we can all learn from our day to day lives.. Take care of them young on’s!
I hope your son and daughter in law can keep those kiddo’s the primary focus of this seperation. emotions start flying around and sometimes things are said, things are done that can make an ever lasting impression.
OK, I’m getting too deep. Just want to make sure that those kids are not being used as a bargaining strategy. Wow! listen to me, being all worried and stuff! Life is tough, kids are tough, work is tough, my steak at Ryans steak house tonight was…just perfect.
Gotta get to bed. Good luck to your family!
keep me posted
-tom
You should talk to my writing partner Jimbo, he’s the fat bald guy in most of my bits. he has a lot of experience in the world of divorce. he drove to school legally in the fourth grade, that’s all I’m gonna say bout Jimbo
Amy says:
Hello,
My family and I watched your episode 3 on CMT last night for the first time.
We laughed and laughed and laughed!!! You are AWESOME!!!
Now, we’re wondering if you have any shows???? Is there any chances
of seeing you in person???
Take care,
Amy
Tom says:
Will, I’m performing this week in Louisville, not sure what part of the country you live. July 24-26. Comedy Caravan 502-459-0022 for tickets.
Glad you liked show 3! wait till you see what I got going in show 4! Friday Night 9:30 eastern
Douglas says:
Where do I go to be in the audience for the show that airs on CMT.
Keep up the good work on the telephone terrorists that interrupt our dinners.
Douglas W. Bennett
Tom says:
Hey Doug, I have gotten that question a dozen times. I’m already finished shooting the studio audience portion of my show.
Glad you like the calls. Me and Jimbo have produced 5 prank call CDs over the years. You can hear more at my site TomMabe.com
Chris Dill says:
Hey, is it me or does the animator of those little cartoons have the same name as me? How many Chris Dills can there possibly be?!
Well, at any rate, Mabe in America is only the best show on ALL of television, period, … and even beats that annoying “Big Brother” show. They call that comedy?! I think that show has more drama than comedy - IF you ask me. But I’m no fancy shmancy TV critic or anything.
That’s all I have to say at the moment. I have to go mow the lawn and my weedeater is broke.
Larry in Kingston Springs says:
Hey Tom,
Been catching the shows whenever possible. They just keep getting better and better. Huge congrats!!!! So proud of you. Thrilled to hear the ratings are great. Let’s do a jingle sometime.
Bev in Ocala says:
Can’t remember the last time I actually laughed out loud at ANYTHING on TV, but your show is LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY!
Thanks so much for some REAL comedy!
Tom says:
Bev, thanks a bunch!!!!!! We love getting our funny on! Keep watching!
-tom
Tom says:
OOPS! Correction. In a recent post I said we were the number one show on Cable last weekend. It was the most watched show on CMT that weekend, not all of cable.
-tom
Brent says:
hey Tom, have you ever done anything with fireworks on your show?
Joe says:
Hey Tom. What did they say was wrong with the way you talk? Sounds normal to me, then again I am from the South as well. The show is hilarious! Good to see the face behind those phone pranks.
Frances Mooser says:
Me and my husband just saw your last tv show that we taped and we laffed out butts off. The comedy is very creative. We were wondering how many people it takes to write your show and who are the other writers. To write things like that, they must be really funny too. Are any of them also in the funny skits you do on tv.
Tom says:
Hey Brent, we’re doing something with fireworks on this Friday’s show. I’ll be showing my son how to have fun old school!
Joe, glad you got to put a face with the voice. For 10 years now people knew my work but didn’t know me, glad we’re changing that!
I gotta tell you guys. I’m worn out, writing, shooting and editing is so hard. Thank god we got a team to help out. But just when you think you’re finish… Here’s my day, I woke up at 4 a.m. so the local NBC affiliate could interview me on their morning show. I had a corporate gig at noon at Ceasars Casino then left there and did radio at the power AM talk station. Left there to do drive time radio at a station then did another show tonight. ALL GOOD PROBLEMS TO HAVE! But man, I need sleep! Came up with a couple of funny bits tonight, I think they’re funny, I wrote them down and I’ll read them in the morning, they may not be funny.
Keeping posting your blogs and I’ll keep answering, watch Mabe In America Friday night at 9:30 eastern!!!!!!
Thanks again gang
-tom
Got a call from my cousin tonight, he’s getting married!!!!! I gotta get all guzzied up and go to the baby shower next week. Yahtzee!
That’s funny!!!!
seacrest out
Steve says:
Tom Mabe and Jimbo are so hilarios! I couldn’t stop laughing at about everything they did. I’ve talked to a lot of people and they all love the comedy. It’s something a little bit different with a big laugh at the end. The only thing that sounds like it might be improved is the studio audience, but besides that I couldn’t stop laughing.
Frances Mooser says:
After we put the brats to bed last night, me and my husband saw a tape of your last tv show and we laffed out butts off. The comedy is really creative. We were wondering how many people it takes to write your show and who are the other writers. To write things like that, they must be really funny too. Are any of them also in the funny skits you do on tv.
Tom says:
Jimbo and I are the main writers. 90% of what you see was written by us. We came to CMT with 70 pre written bits for this season. We hired five other writers to help us flush the bits out and come up with new stuff.
They don’t appear in any of the bits but are all very creative and funny. You can see their names after each episode.
I have a co executive producer that’s very good at coming up with lines on the spot, which really comes in handy when you’re shooting everyday.
We’re always writing. The main thing about comedy bits, you have to believe in them, it’s not what you do but how you do it. Sometimes Jimbo will pitch an idea to me and I’m like “Do What?” That sounds dumb! Then it turns out to be a homerun. He had to sell me on the Toxic Lake Bit. I thought we could never pull that off. Turns out to be the bit that got us the gig at CMT.
Thanks for writing!

Rich says:
Your prank calls are really funny Tom. I was flipping through the channels last night and saw Mabe In America and wondered if that was you. That’s a really funny show. I never watched CMT before, but now I’ll have a reason to watch it.
Rich
Tom says:
Thanks Rich! CMT and myself appreciate that! See a new episode Friday night at 9:30 eastern

bob says:
funny as all get out i hope there is a second season
Michael Moody says:
I really love the show. I don’t usually watch CMT, but since I live in Louisville, I saw the write up about the show in the paper. I think it’s awesome that a lot of it is filmed around here! It’s such a cross of so so many things (the animation with “Jim” makes me think of old hee haw re-runs) — really wish it was an hour long.
I’m really going to have to get my wife off the couch the next time you do a show for comedy caravan (I see you’re there this weekend even).
How long will the show run? I really hope you get another season — my whole family is hooked.
Lee Ann says:
Tom, I just wanted to tell you how funny your show is. I’ve been laughing out loud! I’m from Louisville, too. It’s so great to see someone from here “making it”!
james peek says:
hi tom i really love your show i had my dad watch it with me and he laughed just as hard and told me that your from here in ky to that you went to school at north bullitt along some what of the same time as him his last year was 1988 thanks for all the laughs
Karen Meredith says:
Hey Tom. I really love the show. I saw the commercial for the first episode, and noticed the Clark County EMS van. I told my husband, who works for the Clark Memorial Hospital, what I saw. So, just so I could prove to him that I wasn’t as crazy as he thought, we made sure to watch your show. I laughed so hard, my stomach hurt by the time the show was over. I think that the pranks that you pull on people is sooo funny. It is really funny, because a lot of people in this area is hot headed anyway. I have to say that the phone call that you made to White Castle to take food out to those men sitting on the side of the building was awesome. You are using your talent for the good.
Some of the pranks that you pull are things that I have thought of but don’t have the guts to pull off. I think that it would be funny to go to a doctor’s office and put parking meters by the seats in the waiting area, and send a bill to the doctor for him/her being late to your appointment..LOL. anyway…I’m sure you have enough people throwing ideas at you. But apparently your ideas are the best.
Thanks for the great entertainment.
Tom says:
Karen, sorry I’m just now responding to your blog.. Yes, that was Clark CO IN. They let us use their ambulance, great folks. BTW. I love your parking meter at the DR office!!!!!
jimmy sadler says:
I love the show,I think it is hilarious.Its about time CMT has a show of this calibor.I think the cartoon work is great and they should make a spinoff of another show about that.
jimmy sadler says:
i think he looks like norman bates. ha ha
jimmy sadler says:
who is your side kick? He looks like he should be on men in black.You all need to do more together kinda like Abbott and Costello.Great stuff
Patti says:
Tom and Jimbo are the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! Can’t believe there is finally a comedy show that is worth watching!!! I’m Tevoing all shows because I could use a laugh each and every day!!! Unbelievable comedy!!! Gotta say Tom you have the cutest chittiest grin when you pull your pranks that you just can’t help but start laughing!!!
OMG you are funny!!! PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
and thanks again for making me laugh!!!
Patti
Tom says:
Hey I apprectiate all the blogs!!!! Even a couple of my close friends who are overly kind… Jimmy, you still owe me 30 bucks!
“You all need to do more together like Abbott and Costello?”
Dude! We can spot these a mile away! LOL. Seriously, you still owe me 30 bucks…
shannon miller says:
Hey Tom its Reese Witherspoon/Scooter. Just wanted to tell you I really enjoyed your show. Thanks to my mother she managed to give you a little too much information. lol But seriously my ex husband really is called Pugg and his birthday really is July 26th. Hell he grew up in bullitt county and you may just know him. His real name is James Neathery but he was North Bullets rival Bullet East. Anyway you made it fun and I look forward to seeing your show again soon. I also do stand up but havent quite made it as far as you but Im proud to say that I have done stand up comedy on the same stage as you. Keep in touch and come see me in the Humana building behind the white castle where the undercover cops got their food. lol That was a great one by the way. Maybe one day you can come and see one of my shows.Smooches.
Joe says:
Just watched the replay of tonight’s episode, hilarious. Can’t wait for the baby monitor bit next week.
Alex Mott says:
hey tom, ur show is the funnyest show i have ever seen, especially the part with u messing with the security camra in the stores. I laughed so hard it hurt! I love ur show!
Dennis says:
Found your show a few nights ago like a lot of others, channel surfing. After the first few minutes of it, I turned on the Cable box and programmed the DVR to catch them all in reruns and new. That episode was with the overheard Cell Phone conversations and the masseuses at the mall. Priceless hidden camera comedy. Brilliant! The next two shows were up to the same quality and I LMAO.
Question? What location was the live audience taped at?
The backdrop of the stage says the “Alton Belle Riverboat Casino” which no longer exists (It’s now has a new name as it was purchased by another Corp.) Also, given the fact that it has brick walls which wouldn’t fare well on a boat and the door leading out was to a street, I know it can’t be on the old Belle.
I’m originally from Alton so it’s a matter of curiosity. Your response is greatly appreciated.
Steve V. says:
I have watched a lot of comedy in my day and have become very bored with most shows and could almost predict what the next move was. You’re show is of the new age comedy. You and Jimbo have me rolling with the skits you come up with. You both are the real deal. I hope CMT keeps you on because you all rock. I’m telling all my friends and relatives about your show. They love it. My sister called me ecstatic asking me if I had seen Mabe in America. It’s just a great comedy show that is hilarious. Keep up the great work!
kailey says:
Hi Tom,
My husband and I are totally hocked on your shows…. we keep telling all our family and friends. My son just got the new Iphone and wanted to get online to see your videos. He’s in the Army and really needs a laugh or 2. I saw it on a show that he can log on and see them but the web address went so quickly across the screen. Can you help me out?
Thanks and keep it up lol lol lol
tom says:
Hey there Kailey! Your son can go to CMT.com and type in Mabe In America or follow the link below. Thanks again

KATY says:
I’ve been watching your show Tom. Thats some funny stuff. Missed you at the Comedy Caravan last night. Tammie and Terry said it was great. Shake-n-bake Tom.
tom says:
Hey Katy! How are you? You been watchin the show?
Kathy says:
Tom,
You were the entertainment at our company Christmas party once and you were hilarious. Most fun I’ve had sober. Love the new show and that it’s done here in the Ville, but now I’m a little scared to go to the mall or downtown…might get “Mabed”!
tom says:
Hey thanks Kathy!!!!! The question is, was I sober? LOL. I love Christmas parties, I remember your event, very fun!
Thanks for watching! On again today at 2 pm

jeremy says:
have you ever heard of jacking up someone’s vehicle and putting the drive tires on watermelon rinds? oh yeah, hilarious, put the green side down and even 4 wheel drives cant come off if you put them under all four wheels, a small car can hang it up,
maybe an idea?
jeremy says:
oh yeah, love the show! i got an email a year ago with the homicide investigation parnk, and thought “man, this guy is awesome!” glad to see you making head way in the buisness! Congrats
mike says:
tom you’re an inspiration man i love the show. i was just wondering if you could give me some ideas to use when i mess with telemarketers b/c i share your love for the sport. You could email if you want its huskermike13@yahoo.com i understand you’re busy and stuff but just if you ever get time. thanks and keep up the good work.
Dale & Patti says:
Tom,
Love your humor. Having a 10-year-old son, we have to censor most TV (evenDisney).
We appreciate that your show is funny and we can allow our son to
watch with us without having to worry about too much profanity or
inappropriate content. It’s rare to find a show (or comedian) that we can
feel comfortable letting our son watch with us. He also thinks you’re
hilarious & thinks he’s a comic himself. (:
Good luck in all your endeavors. It’s always great to see a fellow
Kentuckian doing well & sounding intelligent (plus you appear to have all
your teeth!!). Keep up the good work & please continue with your “clean”
humor!
Dale, Patti & Darren

Chelsea Vaughan says:
I absolutely love Mabe in America! I can’t wait to see more of the show!
Teresa says:
I just saw your show the other day…very funny…I had been hearing from a couple of friends that I should check out the show…if for no other reason I tuned in because my maiden name is MABE ! Not a name seen very often!
Kathy Thompson says:
If I may call you Tom, I saw your show for the first time about two weeks ago and must say throughly enjoyed it even though it was the first time I had heard you. I would like to add a responce to Sharon above who took offence at
the abulance scene. I was a National Registered Paramedic/Emergency Room nurse for 20 years in West Virginia, long before helicopters to and I took no offence, so please do not speak for me. I am now disable. That is an extremely hard and physical job where people are not at their best. I suggest if you need a pat on the back for what your paid well, to do, maybe your in the wrong profession.
Sharon says:
Hey tom! It was great to finally get to catch u at comedy caravan. ya know how they have these “lolita” type of girls in bikinis trying to pull you into a car wash? What if you had that but it was you and Jimbo actually doing the washing in maybe daisy dukes or s&m gear? I can picture it already. We were kicking around the idea in the office to test drive a “smart car”. I added that you should be squeezing yourself in with such force and use whoopie cushion sounds. Anyway, the show is great, your act is great. ditch your wife and lets run away together.
Tom says:
Sharon, I just broke it to my wife. Me, the kids and the dog will meet you at the Cracker Barrel at noon…
You’re funny, great seeing you guys! I had three live shows last night and the air went out! We did a carwash bit like the one you were talking about. It’s your DVD. I love the smart car bit. Very funny visual
Thanks again
-tom
Donnie says:
I got a good bit for your show . how everone how go to bingo do weird voodoo thing to win go there dress up like a devil woshiper, all dress up in the black rob and so on and act like you are calling demons to help you win a bingo.
Donnie
Tom says:
That’s funny
Jimbo says:
I think someone just wants to see me in daisy dukes lol
mike says:
Thinking of jimbo in daisy dukes gives me an idea. you guys could dress up like cops and go around acting as the “fashion police” or whatnot and give people tickets and stuff for like too short of shorts and no white after labor day or whatever the rule is.
Sharon says:
sorry I wasn’t at the Cracker Barrel, thought you said Crack House. oh well,at least I did make some friends. (Erika has the Dvd aarrgggh.) Sorry about the ac! Did you guys ever go to a Thorntons and rock the mike from inside to mess with em outside? That voice that says “ok to fill up on pump 5″ always freaks me out! Loved the bit at 4th street with the guitar player!
Ashley says:
watched the new episode this weekend…very, very funny stuff! i don’t know he comes up with this stuff, but it’s hysterical. i loved the son with ADD bit. classic!
Robin C. says:
I watch your show all the time. I love it. It’s so funny.
Sabrina in Nashville says:
Finally the world hears of Tom Mabe, huh? I have had your CD for eight years and it still makes me laugh! I haven’t seen an episode yet, but it’s just because I don’t watch CMT, but I will be sure to catch it now! I’m so glad you hung in there!
Tom says:
Hey gang! How’s everyone doing? Thanks for posting! This is our last week of editing and we’ll be done with the season. woo hoo!!!! I want to personaly thank everyone for watching Mabe In America!!!! I’m taking a couple of weeks off then I’m going on tour. I did a weekend at the local comedy club in Louisville to get the dust off. I forgot half my material! I have been off stage for a few months, felt good to get back. I can’t describe how great that feels!
OK, just wanted to swing by and say hey.
Thanks again for all your support and kind words
best

Stacy says:
I ran across this show by total accident, and i havent stopped talking about it to others since. Tom is one of the funniest people with the balls the size of a freaking elephant (not that i’ve seen them)..lol…seen him as well this weekend in Louisville and he’s also just as good in stand up. Keep up the good work.
Tom says:
Thanks Stacy! Glad you enjoyed my live show as well…
-tom
Ashley says:
Is Austin on your tour list? I hope so!
Tom says:
I wish it was!!!! I have never been to Austin, the director of the show is from Austin. He speaks highly of it…
Ashley says:
Bummer. it is the happiest place on earth. :) I’m sure you would really enjoy it. Maybe you’ll get to visit someday. Good luck with your tour!
Patti Jo says:
Hey Tom! Got caught in one of your tapings in KY in June…Coming up the elevator in an outdoor shopping area into a throng of cheering people and a red carpet? And all the cameras? When will that episode air???????????
Tom says:
That should be on Friday night at 9:30
Thanks for being a good sport!!!!
Patti Jo says:
Too cool! I came up the escalator and there were all these people cheering! I actually looked back to see if I could go back DOWN!!!!! Can’t wait to see everyones’ reactions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom says:
Hey gang! So, out of the past 4 episodes, what were your favorite bits?

tom says:
Brad, looks like I’m moving to Indy! LOL
Joe says:
Tom, the massage bit was good. But the talking to the cheating wife’s husband bit was too hilarious, I mean it. I thought I was gonna die laughing.
John says:
Hey Tommy,
It was great to see you perform at the Comedy Caravan Thursday evening. My brother, Jimmy, our wives, and myself couldn’t stop laughing, even though you had to censor yourself with the church group there to see you. We are very proud of you and congratulate you on your success with your funny as hell TV show on CMT. I make it a point to drop what I’m doing just to watch it. You and Jimbo keep up the great work. When things slow down some, I would like to invite you and your family (Jimbo can come too)to our place in Lawrenceburg. I live about 3 miles from the Wild Turkey Distillery. I’ll be manning the grill and the “beer fridge” is full of Bud Light! Take care and much success to you, Tommy!
John Phillips
John says:
Yeah, those were two of my favorite bits…
tom says:
mine too! I had fun doing those bits

Ashley says:
Favorite bits were the cell phone bit with the cheating wife’s husband, the dumb ass parking, and i loved the bit where you interviewed people and had them screaming because they thought the audio was out.
tom says:
Thanks for sharing. For those of you who are just joinging in, we’re taking a poll, what is your favorite bit so far on Mabe In America?
Any other thoughts you have regarding the show feel free to share
Thanks!!!
-tom
Krista says:
Tom, I just want to say that I love your show and think you are a riot. I absolutely loved the call to the insurance company re: taking your cheating wife out, and I liked the bit where you are interviewing people saying they need to speak up (and end up screaming of course). I watched 2 episodes in a row the other night, and ended up in tears!!!
Keep doing what you’re doing!
K in Louisville, KY
tom says:
Thanks K from Louisville! That’s where I live!
Keep em coming! Love the input of what you guys are liking on the show
KATY says:
Of course I’ve been watching your show! I’ve told everybody I know to watch!
Joanna the geek from marching band says:
Thanks Tom for such a wonderful comedy show! My family can’t get enough! And yes I still twirl my ear rings!lol..For everyone out there, Tom Mabe is truly an amazing comic! Thanks for the laughs!!
The antitelemarketer guy says:
Hey Tom, Congrats on the show! Funny Stuff!… The next time you come to Michigan, I’ll take you someplace a bit better than Hooters this time lol.
Joe says:
Blind guy in the clothing store was good too and the contaminated pond bit.
Misti says:
My daughter and I love the show!! It’s a great laugh and clean enough for us to watch together! Thank you for that. I noticed that you tape on the Alton Belle Casino. I live in Alton, IL and would like to attend a taping. Could you tell me when you do your show there? Oh, and just out of curiosity, I have heard you talk about the wife and kids but even my daughter noticed you do not wear a wedding ring…why is that!?!
Thanks so much!!
Misti
kristy says:
hey i went to one of his shows in louisville and i laughed my ass off!!! he is a funny, funny guy!!!
Misti says:
Thanks Misti, Thanks Kristi! Glad you guys are liking the TV show and my live shows! I was in Hunstville AL doing a show and what a great town! I’m taking wife and kids on vacation here real soon! Very excited about that. Misti, you asked about my wedding ring, here’s the skinny on that. “I’m not Skinny anymore!” When I got married several years ago I was the same height, 6′4 and I weighed 120 pounds. Now I don’t need to get a new ring!
Tom says:
Last Entry Correction.
In an attempt to respond to “Misty’s” blog, I put her name in the name box. So it reads as if it’s Misti’s blog, when it’s actually me. Tom Mabe.
In addition, I left out a comma in a very important sentence.
“Now I Dont, (weigh 120 pounds) I need to get a new (larger) ring
No more Beer while blogging
Good Night Kentucky!
sarah upton says:
I think your show is so funny. You have some really great ideas. Where do you get this stuff? I saw it for the first time last week. I cant believe i didn’t know about it until now. Since then, I have recorded every episode and they have all been reruns. I have only seen two episodes in two weeks because CMT keeps showing the same ones. Can you tell them to show others. Thanks and God bless.
Tom says:
Hey Sarah, a new episode comes on again tonight at 9:30 eastern then they’ll show an older one right after that at 10:00
We just sit around and come up with ideas… fun stuff! We’re getting better at it, we’re finding out what works and what doesn’t
Keep watching! spread the word!
-tom
Ashley says:
Tom, you crack me up with your posts. I can’t wait until tonight! See you at 9:30. ;)
Traci P says:
Hey there Tom,
Just wanted to let you know your show is a breathe of fresh air….HILARIOUS! Anyone who can mess with those jerks gets an “A” in my book. Keep up the good work. You make CMT that much better…..And your HOT! DAMN HOT!!!
Smooches,

Great show. Funniest show on TV, and you didn’t even have to resort to sex or filthy language. Thanks for keeping it clean. I can sit down and watch it with my family.

Hey Tommy,

Angela says:
I love your show- Mabe in America! I was working out at Fitness 19 in Middletown, KY, watching TV, and all the sudden, there you are on my TV in Fitness 19!!! Wow, it was kind of surreal.
Anyway, good luck with your career!
You are really funny!
Tom says:
Hey gang, getting a lot of emails from folks wondering what time the show is on. It’s no longer on at 10:30 it’s 9:30 eastern time. Sorry about the confusion. We changed it half way through.
This Friday is the season finale. Check it out!!!!!
I want to thank CMT Nashville for letting us have some good ole country fun with our cameras. It has been a really fun ride! You guys are the best!
Angela, that’s a great Gym, I may join…
Thanks again for watching and thanks to everyone at CMT Nashville.

Hi Tom it is me Cole. You know the kid with two differnet colored eyes. I had a blast with you!! Is there anyway we can get a copy of show 105? You know the show with you and your “son”. I keep trying to see when it is on? It was a hoot! Miss you and hope to see you again. congrats on the success of the show. - COLE.
Bonnie says:
Howdy Tom, You are so funny man! I love your show.
I’m from Louisville Ky too or as we say… “lu’avulle”
I’m from the (”Fairdale/ okolona area”)
Good pranks to play eh?
Well…….. random thoughts here, hopefully none of these will get your ass kicked. LOL!!!
1.) You could pretend to be a city official, and cite someone for not recycling. People in Louisville as you know don’t recycle. You go off about them not seperating their paper from their plastics and glass…. threating to cite some city ordinance…
2.) Pretend to have a body in a body bag, dragging it to the curb as the garbage guys pull up to take the trash. Kicking the body bag yelling ” You lard ass, all the years I was married to you all you did was eat bon bons and watch soaps while I busted my ass working to put a roof over your head” Then walk off leaving the garbage guys to deal with the body bags. LOL!!
3.) Pretend to be a gas station attendant, motioning for people to pull forward like they do at those oil change places. Then wash someones window while taking your sweet meticulous time. Then afterwards telling them they owe you some outrageous number amount of money. “That will be $250″! ( note this might get your ass kicked) LOL!!
4.) Pretend to be a preacher, while trying to baptize or cast out demons from someone standing in a crowded line at McDonalds.
5.) being a bagger boy at a grocery store, and as you bag the items comment on each item. The size, shape, the price just whatever… Holding them up in the air for all to see.. Hopefully tampons don’t come down the line… LOL!!
Gosh I just realized that I’m as morbid as you! LOL!! Oh well I guess that’s because we’re both from Ken-tucky.
Best of luck on your show Tom. You are hilarious!

Tom says:
Cole, email me at Tom@Tommabe.com
Thanks!!!
Bonnie, you got a wild mind
Bonnielona says:
Tom-
I’m a newbi to your shows, and I must say, you had me rolling over laughing on the floor! I love the reactions of the telemarketers when you mess with them, my favorite would have to be the “Coffin” telemarketer….I couldn’t believe that he still tried to sell you a coffin after you told him you were thinkin about suicide!! I couldn’t believe it! You are a very talented man. Thanks for making me laugh :)

Jackie in Arkansas says:
I accidently found your telemarketer prank (the murder scene) on Youtube, and tried to find everything else you have done since. I have told and forwarded your pranks to all of my friends and family members. I also accidently found out you had a show on CMT. I was just changing channels one night and found it. You are hillarious. Great job! You asked about our favorites….. The murder scene is one of my favorites, but I also love the illegal aliens on the roof. There is so much more, but I love those.
You also asked about pranks we have done. One year, after a week of pranks being played on me by a co-worker, I got my friend’s husband to call my co-worker and disguise himself as a DJ of our local radio station. The radio station was giving away a 4-wheeler. She had signed up to win this 4-wheeler, so he called her and told her she won. When she called her husband and told him, then they talked about selling it so they could use the money for bills, I felt awful and had to come clean.
Courtney Harvey says:
The show has been fantastic! Congratulations on a great season. Hope there are more to come. Any word yet? Tell the youngens I said hey and I miss them!
Have a great weekend,
Cott-nee lol
Brian Leffler says:
Tom, great humor! Your humor is right up my ally and I have a great appreciation for every bit of it! I hope that Mabe in America has a very long (which is well deserved) run! Keep it going strong!
Troy in KY says:
The Escalator Red Carpet runway is the best !!! You should hit some of the surrounding communities, especially those college towns (Lou, Lex, Bowling Green). Hope to seem more of you on CMT.
michelle Fritz says:
I was feeling so down and been through some really rough times when I saw your show and it made me laugh so hard that I realized what life was suppose to be like. YOUR THE BEST!!! I reallly needed a good laugh!!!! Keep up the good work!!
Marty says:
Great show Tom. Some of the best pranks I’ve ever seen. Nothing mean spirited, I like that. Looking forward to more.
Tom says:
Hey gang! I’d like to thank the 6 of you who boycotted the opening ceremonies to the Olympics to watch the season finale of Mabe In America! My people!
Thanks again for watching, be watching for reruns on CMT and keep posting! I love all the emails and kind words…
Thanks for being part of this dream with me. And thanks again to the folks at CMT Nashville…
Tom says:
Michelle, keep laughing! number one rule, when you stop having fun…. Game Over
-tom
Jake says:
I had heard some of Tom Mabe’s prank calls so I tuned in to the show. I ended up watching them all. I like hidden camera shows and Mabe in America had some funny parts. I have a question, why is the laugh track so loud? I had to rewind my Tivo and sometimes use captions to hear what was being said. Next season truat that we will know when to laugh and lose the lame laugh track. If you must use it TURN IT DOWN!!!
Tom says:
Jake! That’s a great idea, use close caption to hear what’s being said. I thought it was my old ears… I too, have a hard time of hearing what is being said…. We’ll work on that
Thanks for posting!
-tom
CG says:
Hi, great show I have seen them all.
I live right down the road in bardstown.
The kentucky Bourbon Festival is in September, that might be a good place for good pranks. I can’t really think of anything off hand but the with something like that there should be many opions. I work for one of them.

Lisa says:
I saw your show last night on CMT and it blew me away. It was hillarious! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Not only is it funny, it’s witty, entertaining and to top it all off, you are sexy! You are made for tv. Keep up the great work and keep making us laugh. That was the perfect end to a stressful week. I will be tuning in every Friday night and I will pass it along by word of mouth. I wish you much success! Good luck!

Melinda says:
My family and I just love your show. It keeps us laughing. Sorry we missed getting your autograph at the beach we were really looking forward to taking a pic with you and your family. Anyway just wanted to let you know we enjoyed meeting you and your family and love your show. Keep up the good work. Any idea when next season will start up?
Good luck!
Tom says:
Hey Melinda, nice meeting you guys at the beach. Sorry we left without saying hey. Woke up Friday morning and decided we would head back to the country since the weather looked questionable. Email me at Tom@TomMabe.com. I’ll send you guys a pic etc.
They’re showing the season finale tonight at 11:00 eastern (Monday)
Thanks again
-tom
RobinLorraine says:
I just want to say Mabe in America is one of the best shows on TV. It’s so hilarious. I laugh through the whole show. I can’t wait for it to be on next season. Even watching the repeats are great. I think the cartoon part adds something that other shows don’t have. It makes it even more interesting. It keeps you in your seat.
Angel says:
OMG.. That is the funniest thing I’ve heard. I love it when Tom Was on the cell phone and the other people we like Listenin in on his conversation.. Priceless.. that was better then a Mastercard Commericail. LOL KEEP IT COMEING
Lisa says:
the best bit so far is my cell phone has an echo that makes me sound like an african american. Who comes up with this stuff? Only Mabe. lol. Can’t wait to see the season finale.
Ms. Melanie in Mississippi says:
I just saw that “port a tom” bit, it was probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen on tv yet. That was almost an ingenious idea. Who thought of that? I was laughing soooo hard and I had to pee my ownself but I didnt see a “port a tom” for women, so I ended using my own bathroom. (I couldnt believe some of the men actually used it, really really funny stuff!!)
And I also love the telephone scene where Tom was talking to a telephone customer service rep about an echo on the phone and he had the black man para phrasing, in slang, what he was saying like he was the echo. That was really funny also. Do another echo conversation.
I wish Mabe in AMerica would stay on for an hour, cause 30 minutes isn’t long enough. Me & my boyfriend both enjoy the show very much.
wildflower says:
Hey Tom, I found your comedy show on the cable network one night by accident and have been watching it faithfully since. My teenage son finds it hard to talk to his girlfriend while lol at your pranks. Great family quality time. TY. We loved the RED CARPET ESCALATOR and the one where you talking on your cell phone describing someone as yourself in front of a cafe’. Do you do live preformances? where and when? Keep it up, America needs you.
Kelli Brown says:
I caught your show last night while a friend was channel-surfing… out of curiosity, we started watching. I can honestly say that my life has been forever changed for the better!!! Neither one of us have laughed so hard in a very long time! Feeding the homeless, the cell-phone echo, the hemmarhoid samples, the cell-phone eavesdropping… all of it was absolutely hillarious!!! I am so glad to see that so many people have also discovered the Way of the Mabe!!!
I hope to see a lot more!!!!
dakota says:
mabe in america is like the best show on cmt
BRIAN EUBANKS says:
MABE IN AMERICA IS THE FUNNIEST SHOW ON TV RIGHT NOW!!!! TOM HAS A FRESH APPROACH TO COMEDY AND HIS SKITS ARE JUST DOWNRIGHT HILARIOUS!!!! YOU ALL NEED TO COME TO WINNSBORO, LOUISIANA TO DO SOME OF YOUR SKITS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY GULLIBLE PEOPLE AROUND HERE!!!! TOM, KEEP UP THE GOOD COMEDY!!!! YOUR NEW FRIEND, BRIAN EUBANKS
Jeremy says:
I love MABE IN AMERICA….I caught one of the shows a while back, and that’s the first time I’ve laughed that hard in a loooonnng time. Last night I caught a telemarketer call……LMAO…OMG I didn’t think I was going to make it!!!! I’d love to see more shows, and even stacking them in two’s or four’s in a row or something…..OR just make them longer. :D We can’t get enough. We love the show!! Keep up the good work brother, keep em laughing!! Take care, -J
Tone Def says:
Ya know…Im frequently amused by things that I see or read, but RARELY do I laugh out loud. This “mabe in america” show had me ABSOLUTELY in stitches !!! The best comedy show that I have seen in years. Kudo’s CMT…
Tom says:
Hey guys, if you can’t find your favorite Mabe In America on a rerun check out CMT.com You can watch all episodes for free.
You guys have been so great with your comments, I can’t tell you how great it makes me feel to read them. Well, the kids went back to school today, getting ready to go pick them up. The summer went by sooo fast with shooting of the show and all, did manage to pull off a last minute vacation. Went to Hilton Head for a week I kept wanting to pull pranks on people but my wife kept saying, “We’re on vacation! There’s no cameras around!” I guess the high lite of the vacation was my leg getting bit off by a shark, thank god for bandaids!
gotta go pick up the kids
Talk soon
-tom
Monica says:
Tom,
My family does not watch T.V. in the summer, but one night after the news we came across your show and were hooked from that moment! My husband now stays up until the early hours to watch the shows over and over! We missed an episode or two in the middle because of time changes for your show so great to see them again! Wish we could have seen them from the start! Great work! You need to do something about driving in rush hour and road construction for us that commute a long way. Thanks again!
Joanna says:
Love your show, caught it for the first time. My family has never laughed so hard together for a long time. You really need to come to Ashland, Ky sometime. I would love to get an autograph picture sometime and see you in person on just come to Ashland and do some of your skits at the mall. The people around here would fall for your skits everytime. THANKS SO MUCH AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!
Ryan says:
Hey Tom love the new show. About time we got another great candid camera show. Love the telemarketing pranks. Payback can be so hilarious!
Cindi Cameron says:
I have four children ranging frm age 16 to 7 and I love that they can all watch Mabe In America.
He is hilarious and refreshing!!! Don’t ever take him away from us!!!
Never have I laughed so much at a comedian and it is good clean comedy not this other stuff I have to plug my kid’s ears from or close their eyes.
THANK YOU TOM!!!!!
Applause to you!!!
Cindi
Sybil says:
I love Tom’s show finally a person who gives telemarketers hell love ya Tom
Martha says:
Your so funny and cute! I love your show!!! It’s the only thing worth watching :)
Martha “sue” says:
We Texas people love Mabe in America!!!
I think the one watched last night was you on a pot in the elevator. I was laughing so hard, I cant believe some people actually got in there with you haha!!
Alissa says:
Tom,
First time about a year ago I heard you on the radio about the telemarketer that was a suspect in a murder. Then the other night I saw you on CMT “Mabe in America”. Laughed so hard. Love it and look forward to seeing more of your shows on CMT. What about joining the “Blue Collar” team. Just a thought you would be a great addition!
Keep us laughing you newest fan,
Good luck and God Bless!
Alissa B.
Tom says:
Hey, guys. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment, I will get to them all
Thanks!
-tom
Gina Cinquegrani says:
The first show I saw of yours was the one about a telemarketer who called & how you did the ultimate payback. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life (and I’m OLD-just hit 44 ugh haha), I felt like such an idiot laughing out
so loud because I was by myself!!
You must drive your wife totally crazy but damn she’s one lucky lady.
Your humor brings back great childhood memories for me, my dad & his friends were always doing funny, off the wall crazy type things, boy do I miss that.
Anyway, I love your show Tom & I look forward to future episodes!
Best Wishes,
Gina
Tom says:
Tina, I said feel free to leave a comment on the above comment, you’re a nut! You still hanging with Jeff Steele? I really like him on Nashville Star.
You know who one of my favorite writers is? Rivers Rutherford. I knew him back before he hit it big. We hung out at the same jingle house for a while.
Thanks for posting as well Gina
SusanT says:
Tom,
Your show is fantastic. I have not laughed this hard at a standup comic since Jeff Foxworthy and you are up there with it. Thanks for a great show and I hope there are many more of these shows to watch. GREAT entertainment!!!! Keep up the great work!
Kelly on “The Bone” says:
I have actually had Tom as a radio guest on my show. This guy is hilarious. I’m so glad CMT gave him a TV gig, I hope they give him the chance to develop. He is so funny in so many different situations…this could be a huge hit!

Abby…..Pa says:
You know a freind of mine from Pa,an attorney,he turned me on to you.The next time you see in in Naples tell him I should go.Got it Terry!
Whitney says:
Yes, I first saw Tom on CMT a little over a month ago. I think it was the funniest show I had ever seen. I couldn’t stop laughing. My face was soakin’ wet from all the tears of laughter. Tom is a very funny and talented individual who will go far in life.
He is one very creative comedian. Keep up the wonderful, twisted, head scratching, rolling on the floor while kicking your legs in the air, absolutely funny shows!
Jake says:
I gave my Mighty mouse a work out because of all of the comments.. But i can not wait for the new epsodes to come out
Rusty says:
love the show tom
Toni says:
I love Tom Mabe!!! Love the show, it’s about time!!! Keep up the great work, you’re the greatest!
Tom says:
I think Tom needs to get his oil change and cut his grass. I also feel he could lose a little weight and eat more salads.
Thanks fo the advice Tom
-tom mabe
Seriously guys, thanks or posting! You’re being more than kind, did my mom call you all?
Terry says:
I hope we see more of Tom Mabe on cmt. It is great to see comedy that is very inventive and allows us to laugh at ourselves a little without being vulgar or obscene. Tom’s comedic mind is a refreshing break from what we typically see on television. Kudos to cmt for bringing us Tom Mabe!
NorMae says:
Great show Love watching it. It’s cool to see areas you know in Louisville seems to make it more personal
Barb says:
My favorite this season was the escalator fashion show at 4th Street Live. My husband is now afraid to ride the escalator at work. I can’t wait to see more new episodes. Thanks for the laughs!
Tammie says:
Mabe:
You are so funny and so refreshing. Your pranks are hilarious. I hope you come up with one about long waits in the ER. (I work in a hospital but we don’t have that problem at ours). My son waited so long where he lives, his appendix ruptured (true).
I think you should call America’s Got Talent and tell them to keep the drag queens off too.
Your patriotism was funny. The massage therapist in the mall, the skunk, the telemarketer convention in DC, all of it. Keep it clean. We sure appreciate you coming to our house (in Missouri).
D&T says:
The elevator was hilarious. I can’t believe some people got on there with you. ha.
How bout a thought-provoker to get people to vote……that’s funny all by itself when you think of all we have to choose from. ha.
How about a prank for kids who do not do their homework willingly and for those teens who won’t get out of bed when called to get up for school. That would make my day.
Tammie says:
How about a remote control alligator at Florida beaches? ha. ha. The skunk was good.
How about heely tennis shoes in Wal-Mart. ??
Tom says:
I want to do a remote control fake person and run it out in front of these cars that fly down my street. I like the idea of a remote control person, you could take him to h running track… OK, I’m sleepy, but I think there’s something there.
Tammie, I do like the remote control alligator, you could do it at a zoo parking lot, like it escaped! LOL
kelly denzik says:
tom cool show,,me and a few other couples watched last week,,i had to keep rewinding it to hear the punch lines,,everyone was laughing so hard id miss it,,,recording all current shows and hoping for many more,,,great fun and entertainment,,,keep on laughing,,and keep on making us laugh,,,U.S.A.,,,FROM KELLY IN LOIUSVILLE,,THE MOUTH OF THE SOUTH,,WHOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAA,
Ashley says:
I think the remote control fake person thing is hysterical! I would LOVE to do that in my mom’s neighborhood. Can you imagine? I know that I would mess myself if that ever happened to me.
Katie says:
Hi, Tom!
You are thoroughly certifiably nuts!
My belly has not received so much exercise in a long time.
My favourites, if you give a flying rat’s patootie, are THE homicide detective prank call and your song about your daughter.
And the telemarketers, ¡oy vey! If people just hung up, they’d go away. Repeat after me: “I am sorry. I am not interested.” Click.
My Mom use to help us make prank telephone calls as kids. We use to call a George Harrison in the Evergreen Park, IL phone book. His wife told us we could have him! ROFL.
Ew, how about a routine about bill collectors??? They are they epitome of nasty. Greedy ass… ;o)
I ask one extremely aggressive guy what they were paying him. He was rather taken aback. I told him “Whatever it is- it’s ain’t enough!” Ew, he got livid! Click.
Just writing to says thanks. So thanks!!!
Katie
Katie says:
Oh and what a terrific way to feed the homeless!!! ROFL! Hooray!
Tammie says:
Hey Tom Mabe. I like the remote person too, especially where people are flying and the speed limit is 15 and children are playing. Is that legal? ha.
The alligator at the zoo. That would be funny. No that would be hysterical. A lion or bear might be stretching it.
And hey, how about airports. We all love airports, don’t we? US Air recently cancelled a flight after my mom drove several hours to an airport and told her it was her job to call ahead to make sure the flight was still on - then lost her luggage for three days. We call it Useless Air now.
My mom always gets a hard time at the airport because she has artificial knees. Maybe you’d like to have bionic parts implanted just to mess with them.
But what REALLY makes me mad is when my elderly aunts travel and they look just as American as pie, they get harrassed like terrorists. They got so upset after having to be strip searched, they abandoned flight at a layover and rented a car. They are in their 80s for God’s sake and drove from Wisconsin to Oregon after leaving St. Louis.
william faith says:
you are too funny, I was getting into your show on cmt, and within 2 weeks I havent found your show on, have you changed channels??/
ps.,
several locations you shot were around where i live
Tom says:
Hey William, The show debut on the 4th of July and the season finale was August 8th. Dig this, I have gotten so many emails from folks saying they just heard of the show or watched it on a buddies DVR and want to see more.
The fine folks at CMT have decided to put together 2 more episodes of Mabe In America! Featuring wall to wall bits from the first season! You can see these two shows September 26 (Friday night) at 10:00 and 10:30 eastern time. They’ll re play them again Sunday. Just check out CMT.com for show times
In the meantime me and Jimbo are writing new bits
Thanks again William!
-tom mabe
Ryan says:
Just 2? Well, that is better then none lol but I say we need more seasons. Your show is classic and when’s the DVD bundle comin’ out? Keep it up Tom, your show is the best on TV!
leslie mabe says:
Tom i’ve listened to your comedy for a while now and greatly enjoy it i get tickled everytime i see your show on cmt for one just becuase we share last names and two well its quite funny i’m not sure what part of kentucky your from but my set of mabes live in upper east tennessee where tennessee kentucky and virginia all come together. so we might be “kin” a long way down the line anyway good luck with the show!!!!!
Angel says:
Hey there Mr.Tom Mabe, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I cant understand why CMT does NOT have any show times for it right now…even if it is reruns that I’ve already seen! I mean it is soooo funny,I would much rather watch this then “OUTSIDERS INN” or “Sabastin Bach” TRYIN’ to sing COUNTRY music..come on now. I’ve told everyone about your show and now I cant even find it myself to watch it :( I think MY FAV. show is when your getting a back rub and you keep farting..LMAO & ROFL!!!! I swear I was crying from laughing so hard. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND,TOM…KEEP UP THE FUNNY FUNNY WORK!! P.S. my WHOLE family LOVES your show. our son is 12 and he thinks you are the funniest man..EVER and our daughter is 8 and sometimes I think she laughs because we are laughing soooo hard..LOL. but honestly Me & my husband are your #1 FANS!
Tom says:

Thanks again

Sideways says:
O.K. Mabe, you get me hooked on the best show that’s ever been on TV and now it’s over. Are you gonna do another season, any re-runs, what’s the deal? It’s so refreshing to finally turn on the tube and see someone as “sick” as me. I WANT MORE! Come home with me and entertain me or something! I’ve got a camera and lots of stupid friends.
Gotta go turkey huntin’ now. See you, Sideways in Mo.
Tom says:
Sideways! That’s probably the best comment I have gotten in a long time!!!! Thanks so much dude. Go get a turkey!!!!!

Sideways says:
This is sideways’ 17 year old daughter. I watch CMT all the time and this is by far my favorite show that has ever been on there. What happened? How come all of a sudden your show disappears?? I loved the show and am hoping there is going to be another season. I loved turning on the TV and seeing you and Jimbo do something, as dad calls it, “sick”. It’s hilarious and its good clean fun. I look forward to seeing another season!!! See you, Ashley
Tom says:
Hey Ashley, we’re writing now… Not sure when we’ll get to another season or show but I’ll keep you posted!
Thanks!!!!

Betty Hall says:
My family has been a fan of Tom Mabe’s for about a year now. We tape his shows (which there aren’t enough of) and watch them over and over. His show “Mabe In America”, is GREAT!!! Hilarious pranks and just good old down home funny skits. Thanks CMT for putting his show on television. The world needs all the laughter it can get and Tom and his crew deliver. They’re a real class act! Good luck Tom, you give us laughter and we send you love. Please keep us laughing.
Betty Hall
Tom says:
Betty, thanks so much for your very nice comment! We really try to make this good old down home fun. Our goal was to make it show the whole family could watch!
I’m working on a couple of other projects and trying to write new bits.. Stay tuned, and thanks again!!!!

Paula Singleton says:
Okay, so I may be prejudice because I thinks he’s the greatest guy around (as well as funny as hell) but everyone needs to check Tom out! He’s a busy man and passionate for what he does and “Hey, what better way to get over a rainy day than to watch Tom Mabe and feel a little sunny inside!” Keep up the good work Tom, hope to see ya soon!
tom mabe says:
Thanks Paula! Next show is a group of reruns in May… Looking for dates now!
It’s raining here too!
tom mabe says:
Oh yeah! I’ll be in Louisville performing at the Comedy Caravan the last two weeks of May
Paula Singleton says:
Already set the dvr to record them and already looking for someone to go with me to the caravan to catch ya again!!! And if it doesn’t stop raining I’m gonna have to get the weedwacker out just to find the car!!
tom mabe says:
That’s funny!
Paula Singleton says:

GF says:
Tom Mabe is a must see if you are around Louisville the Derby City! Be prepared to laugh till you cry.
tom mabe says:
Thanks GF!
GF says:
Tom the best sitcom is yet to be made with you the star. We have to see that come to pass! Just imagine the scripts of what the family has to put up with all those great pranks & friends looking over their shoulder.

Last night after my husband and I came home from the casino, turned on the tv to wind down the night, when I saw what I thought was “Made in America”, a program we like to watch. Were we so surprised with what we saw. We laughed so hard and then couldn’t go to sleep from rehashing what was on the show. I guess I am one of the minority that never heard about you or your show but I guarantee you are to be watched in the future. Wish we could have seen you from the beginning, keep up the good work.
tom mabe says:
Thanks Marilyn! I haven’t seen MADE in America
