Hil-freaking-arious - I’m crying here! Seriously, you’ve got some great stuff. -- Matt Schmitz, Sacramento, CA

Listening to the @dougfun "vote for me" live album - HILARIOUS! -- Clea Conner, New York City, NY

On my recent dismissal from NBC's "Last Comic Standing":

Proud of you Doug. Cattle Calls are rough and this one sounded about as grueling as they come. You handled it with class and your great sense of humor. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are BRAVE!!! -- Jamie Flitner, Greybull, WY

I'm impressed at what you went through for a shot at an adventure like that. Well done! I would not have had the brass to do the same. You da man! -- Jon Hiles, Louisville, CO

I am proud of you and I hope you are too! You are still the funniest guy I know! -- Stephanie Woods Fleury, Salt Lake City, UT

Doug.....you WON! YOU, got further than some and that is a win. When I used to go on acting interviews I had a form of acceptance or denial or winning attitude if you will. I would go on an interview, and if I got a CALLBACK that was a success for me. That was my goal and meant that I had differentiated my performance from others to the best of... See More my ability and indulgently, with an artisitic flair. Now, I was very lucky and successful with interviews, especially TV commercials where my hit rate was about 1 out of 10. The 9 that I lost, I just put all the casting director names in my black box and remembered some very personal things to say to them the next time I met them to enhance my position in their conscious. It worked most every time. This is but a rung on your success ladder and you actually won by getting to where you were on the chain of events. CONGRATS...pat yourself on your back and now work on the little nuances that will give you ONE more inch in creating a tapestry of differentiation. The person that simply takes the lump and moves on....will eventually be passed by YOU with such diligence and responsible dedication. Good luck and continue entertaining us with your Wit! I am grateful for some of the fine writing you have shared.... -- Larry Wilcox, star of TV's "CHiPs," Los Angeles, CA

I applaud your tenacity...you are pretty old to stand around all day just for the chance to perform. Good story...go make some jokes out of it! -- Mike Martin, Cheyenne, WY

Congratulations - that's awesome! We will be watching to see you when the show airs this summer. -- Stacy Anderson, Dallas, TX

NEVER give up!!! Keep on auditioning!!! If you find out when they are going to show the NYC auditions, please let us know so we can hope to get a glimpse of you!!! - Mary Kay Albrechtson, Rawlins, WY

Not cool!! :( -- Shealee Donahue Bostrom, Worland, WY

Well, you are our favorite comic. -- Sherry Taylor, Pinedale, WY

Sorry bro, maybe next time. -- David Martinez, Rawlins, WY

I still say you should keep your ears tuned to FOX "Red Eye"! You'd be perfect on that show!! This Last Comic Standing Show has never proved to have very good talent, in my opinion...which isn't worth much, but I do laugh at some things! ;) - Linda Loostrom, Gothenburg, NE

Doug: You are the bomb for "going for it". America will be missing out on the "Doug Fun" we have all had to endure....errrr.....enjoy for all these years:) -- Susan Anabel, Phoenix, AZ

They messed up. Big time. (Nice pic too!) -- Sylvia Traymore Morrison, Rawlins, WY

Keep your head up, you're fabulous! -- Michelle Balka Demeyer, Salt Lake City, UT

Having seen who they picked in the past says it all. You'll get your break. Sorry it wasn't today. -- Nickey Baxter, Pittsburgh, PA

Fools. They are absolute fools. -- Misty Walsh, Washington, DC

-- And now, back to the testimonials --

My 9 year old son is entering the talent competition at his school because he is inspired by you.....Awe! =) Not sure what material he is going to use, but he told me he "was a comedian, just like Doug". -- Stephanie Albrechtson, Rawlins, WY

Thank You for the presentation you made to our Higher Education community in the Power of Place lecture series. Your talk was funny and insightful, provocative and accessible. I rode to Cheyenne this past week with a group of people who have been regular Power of Place attendees and they began talking about the various presentations of the year. To a person, they enjoyed your presentation and thought you were one of our finer moments. So thank you for taking the role of educator seriously while using humor to get your points across. I hope you enjoyed the evening as much as the rest of us did!
-- Dr. David Throgmorton, Rawlins, Wyo.

My kids almost peed their pants laughing so hard at this. My son, Kobe, is one of your newest and maybe youngest fans! He also wants coal for christmas now next year because of the whole diamond do-it-yourself kit you talk about!!! LOL
-- Stephanie Albrechtson, Casper, Wyo.

you're friggin' hilarious. I just caught your youtube piece on your site and that dishwasher joke damn near knocked me over.

Funny stuff man!

Doug!!!!! You are amazingly funny and so witty. I feel like a better person just knowing you. I appreciate what you are doing for our country and our troops! Good job! Funny stuff....
-- Stephanie Woods, West Jordan, UT

you're a riot!
-- Pamela Noble, Rockville, MD

ROFLMAO!!!
-- Paula Wilson-Cazier, Laramie, WY

I think you are funny!!
-- Linda Clegg Rader, Cheyenne, WY

What up Dougy? You never cease to amaze me with your wit and humor. I especially got a giggle from the Pepsi paying for the cremation joke. Keep those laughs coming buddy. They make me smile in this dark, depressing time of economic turmoil.
-- John Gonzales, Roseville, CA

All of your Jacko comments are hysterical!!! Once again, you made me laugh......alot!!
-- Stephanie Albrechtson, Casper, WY

Doug, thanks for the awesome jokes!! You are really on a roll with the MJ stuff...Thanks!
-- Michelle Ankeny Spear, Brussels, Belgium

Loved listening to your "Vote For Me" CD. Reminds me of many good times listening to your jokes!
-- Charlotte Davis, Laramie, WY

Dear lord you are funny, twisted, but funny… I love your stuff. You were made for cable.
-- Frank King, Bellevue, WA

I think Doug is HYSTERICAL!!!! I have even quoted him on his hysterical sayings as my signature lines on emails!! You go Doug!!
-- MaryKay Koroulis Albrechtson, Rawlins, WY

OMG! I love you Doug! LOL!!! Thanks for ALWAYS making me smile. We sure miss you!!! xoxo
-- JoAnna Kail, Lander, WY

If indeed fatigue makes you funny, I would say you are pretty sleep deprived. Keep it up. heehee
-- Becky Soske, Gillette, WY

You are soooo bad....but I have tears from laughing so hard! You crack me up, Doug!!
-- Stephanie Albrechtson, Casper, WY

I got the Vote For Me CD, very funny!!!
-- Dave Dirst, Casper, WY

Brilliant :)
-- Wendy Liebman, Long Island, NY

Just yesterday I read the column you wrote after seeing Vicki and me at the Broomfield Target...I was sitting with my mother in her doctor's office waiting room. I was laughing out loud, so Mom wanted to read it too. Then she started laughing, which started me again because I knew what she was reading! We both made quite a scene! Thanks for giving my morning such a lift! I'd forgotten how funny you are!
-- Becky Costantino, Douglas, WY

Will you ever do a show here in Casper?
-- Tammy Foster Logan, Casper, WY

Doug, soooooo long since I have talked to you, but do get to read your daily times articles, our neighbor in douglas, wy used to live in Rawlins, and she still gets the paper, so she passes them on to us...I loved your wit all those years ago, still do.
-- Becky Soske, Douglas, WY

I am glad you have your album on iTunes. I bought it and will definitely recommend it to my friends!
-- George Downes, San Francisco, CA

Great CD! Remember: 3 hots on a cots. It's gold, Dougy, Gold!
-- Jim Joseph, Washington, DC

Hey Doug! Loved the CD! Had a great mixture of classic Doug and some things I hadn't heard before. I like how you worked the crowd, seemed a little different than the Improv.
-- Justin Kieffer, Washington, DC

My brother gave your CD to me for my birthday at the beginning of January. I really enjoyed it! The first time I listened to the whole thing was at the gym in my building. I think the other guy in the room thought it was really creepy that I was getting such a kick out of the step achine. I almost fell off when you told the po boy joke. I also really liked the Election 08-Hillary the Ice Queen jokes. I'm currently taking modern dance (last 2 credits needed to graduate) so I'll have to remember to look like the music has already stopped. I think your comedy is really refreshing because it's hilarious without being extremely obscene. I've been to the DC Improv and some other comedy venues, and I've seen a lot of raunchy comedians that weren't even particularly clever...just kind of gross that you had to laugh because you don't know how else to respond. (I've also seen completely clean and politically correct comedy and was bored to tears.) As an audience member, I thought you had a good balance of not dropping the f-bomb every two seconds, yet saying some pretty unbelievable things. I loved it! Thanks for sharing your comedy with us!
-- Amanda Glensky, Washington, DC

So I listened to your CD on my way to work and I am being honest when I say that I liked it and it was funny… I was laughing out loud while driving. I loooved the Hiliary jokes, they were my absolute favorite.
-- Linda Beck, Annapolis, MD

We've listened to your cd SEVERAL times in the car. Holy %$&! it's hilarious!
-- Amy Hockert, Minneapolis, MN/Washington, DC

The CD is hilarious, and I can't wait to see you live!"
-- Todd Nalder, Deputy Coroner, Cheyenne, WY

It would be cool for you to come to Rawlins to promote the CD.
-- Valeta Rodabaugh, Rawlins, WY

I am waiting to get drunk enough to listen to it so I can really compare whether I liked the live version or CD version better.
-- Mike Martin, Cheyenne, WY

Has Obama called regarding the White House Jester position? You can make any one laugh. Even Democrats.
-- Mike Lansing, Casper, WY

The CD was very funny. Keep it up.
-- Clancy McGilligan, Rawlins, WY

Your CD is really funny. Even my wife likes it.
-- Carlos Hampton, Washington, DC

I finally listened to your album--it's sooo funny! I felt like an idiot driving around laughing in my car by myself! Haha
-- Sarah Sheya, Arlington, VA

Be careful - you could cut yourself with that incisive wit of yours...LOL
-- John McJunkin, Chandler, AZ

"Your CD... is great! So super that you were able to get this underway since I know it takes time to organize and produce. Well worth it though. I now listen to bits and pieces of it on my way to work and it help start the day off with a smile and a light heart. See how you change lives?"
-- Rita Imlay, Lincoln, NE

I just finished listening to the comedy stylings of Doug Hecox. Funny is an overused word so I won't use it. My suggestion is that everyone buy "Vote For Me" and give them out as tricks on Halloween.
-- Bryan Jacobs, Alexandria, VA

Congrats on a fabulous CD! Let me just say I "lol"'d quite a bit.
-- Trey Brooks, Fairfax, VA

I totally loved your fat girl joke on spring break.
-- Rebecca McGill, Prince Frederick, MD

"bladder infection . . . I laughed . . ."
-- Steve Greenlee, Broomfield, CO

I laughed uncontrollably while listening to "Vote For Me" today on the AU shuttle. When asked by several people what I was listening to that was so hilarious, I said it's Doug's "Vote For Me!" cd. I told them to stop being jealous and go order their own copy.
-- Kelly Barrett, Washington, DC

You are as funny as always. Who doesn't like Hilary bashing? Congrats on the CD- I can't wait to buy it.
-- Traci Brooks, Washington, DC

Do you ever perform in WY? If so, PLEASE let us know when and where. We'd drive 500 for you Dougie!!
-- Joanna Kail, Lander, WY

I have been watching Last Comic standing, I am guessing that it is the airing of the season that you were to try out for. Some of the finalists are downright RETARDED, you would have done pretty well I think.
-- Jeff Lasco, Ft. Collins, CO

Hilarious! Can you do one on the people that put the Wyoming bucking horse on their vehicle looking like it is doing a #2? It just cracks me up...
-- Mark Pruett, Cheyenne, WY

I laughed... Nice job.
-- Scott Smith, The president of your Lincolnway Fan Club (Cheyenne, WY)

Would it be possible that I could have heard you on the Blue Collar Comedy Channel this morning? It kind of sounded like your voice, but I wasn't sure. This comedian - possibly you - was talking about a lot of random stuff. If it wasn't you, it sure sounded like you and reminded me of your witty humor.
-- Barb Jones, Minneapolis, MN

Your YouTube bit was pretty funny!!
-- Pat Beaton, Denver, CO

Brilliant, tasteless work! I would probably be offended if Kennedy were a conservative . . . but he's not!
-- John McJunkin, president, Avalon Podcasting, Phoenix, AZ

Even your political humor is dark in itself. I wouldn't expect anything less from the great Douglas "Funny Man" Hecox.
-- John Gonzales, Sacramento, CA

I SWEAR I saw you a couple of weeks ago on a billboard!
-- Tamala Plunkett, Cheyenne, WY

You da man, Dougie!
-- comedian Jeff Caldwell, New York City, NY

Great show... I liked how some of your punch lines were surprises. A couple of times it seemed like you had reached the end and then suddenly the punch line came as a surprise post script. You cracked me up!
-- Dale Walker, Laramie, WY

Pretty cool, you did a good job. Annette heard some too and also said you sound really good on the radio. She was pretty complementary (I think she thought you were going to sound like an idiot, so was pleasantly surprised that you sounded so good).
-- David Lean, Washington, DC

I do always enjoy your writing and website and all that good stuff. smile!.
-- Linda Beck, Washington, DC

I was watching Steve Carell, (The Office) Carol Burnett & Jim Carry on the Oprah show yesterday and the more I watched the more you remind me of Steve Carell. I think I’ve told you that in the past. For what its worth.
-- Rebecca McGill, Washington, DC

You are amazing. :)
-- Barbra K. Jones, Minneapolis, MN

You are insane, Doug.
-- Dave Perry, Phoenix, AZ

Your set far exceeded your photos.
-- Frank Schuchat, Denver, CO

I can't wait to see you in March
-- Wende Curtis, owner/booker, Comedy Works, Denver, CO

Merry xmas doug. Go for it - I think you have a great chance as I would vote for you as I'm sure everyone else would from the great state of KS.
-- Floyd Else, Hollenberg, KS

PLEEZ RUN 4 PREZ! Do it now if you can!
-- Don "Rood Dogg" Rood, Casper, WY

That was a great laugh for me today
-- Andy Cochran, Grand Island, NE

I loved your show! How funny are you? All of it was good and made me laugh, but I especially liked the part about your girlfriend and the part about putting your grandmother in a Rest Area. Very funny!
-- Michelle Denny, Minneapolis, MN

That was good fun! :) Thanks for the laughs :)
-- Krista Hull, Loveland, CO

has anyone ever told you that you are one seriously white, white man? lordy, Doug - get some sun! Just kidding
-- Paula Wilson-Cazier, Laramie, WY

Thank you for the very nice article. A comic friend forwarded it to me (and Wende) this morning. Seeing your kinds words in a respected site such as Shecky really means a lot to me, and to the whole Denver community.
-- Deacon Gray, Denver CO (Comedy Works)

I'm sorry, who is this? I had dinner with Kevin Covais a couple of weeks ago. Was that not you using an alias? I thought I was eating with a celebrity and that's why my water glass kept getting filled so frequently. Was I wrong? HA! !
-- Alena Ryan, Broomfield, CO

I think you are hilarious!
-- Nahee Cho, Annapolis, MD

Freakin' BRILLIANT!! Bwah hah haaaah! Why is it not hard for me to imagine you fantasizing about Fran Townsend "crying on your shoulder?" Funny stuff today too - the Kucinich/Magorium bit really tickled me!
-- John McJunkin, Avalon Podcasting

I heard that you were doing well a few years ago, and one time I even heard a satelite broadcast on rawlins radio (pretty impressive).
-- Utaka Yanaga, Colorado Springs, Colorado

You are crazy all right.
-- David Miller, Cheyenne, Wyoming

Kelly Barrett and I were wondering if you are doing any stand-up shows in the near future. We would be interested in going to watch so let us know.
-- Christina Friedberg, Washington, DC

man that's one hell of a web site you have -- remember don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things
-- Todd Trautman, Rock Springs, WY

You are entirely too funny to be one person - who does your writing? HA! Oh, my side hurts from laughing
-- Alena Ryan, Broomfield, CO

You really are insane.
-- Dave Perry, Phoenix, AZ

You are soooo funny!!! .
-- Shannon Harris, Berryville, AR

I love visiting your web site. It always makes me smile.
-- Amy Guenther, Glenrock, WY

I've seen you at the Improv and I was really impressed. I think you had one joke with what seemed liked 7-8 tags...I was floored.
-- Marshall Henry comedian extraordinaire

Your talent was & is remarkable
-- Joey Edmonds, president, Joey Edmonds Presents

Doug: I was about to lambaste you for not participating in this (www.funniestfed.com), but then I saw you hit the big time, as a judge. Will you insist everyone call you Judge Dredd?
-- Todd Fine, Washington, DC

You are crazy.
-- Jennifer Skidgel, Rawlins, WY

Can't wait to see you!!!
-- Kim Ryan, Cheyenne, WY

I totally remember Rich Little and I was a little concerned about you dissing him, because it wasn't THAT long ago that he was well known. However, I very much enjoyed your article and totally agree that he should have used your help.
-- Alena Ryan, Broomfield, CO

[on my "Retirement Plan 9 From Outer Space" piece] One of your funniest columns ever. Many years ago, I and a bunch of my drunk buddies watched “Plan 9 from Outer Space.” If it was not the worst, it certainly was one of the top 10 worst scifi movies of all time. We busted guts watching it (it was almost as funny as your column). I still remember zombies walking through the graveyard bumping into grave markers that appeared to flex like cardboard.

I saw a National Lampoon movie entitled “Disco Beaver from Outer Space,” but I don’t think it was a play on the “Plan 9 “ movie (although it did have a vampire that bit folks and turned them into homosexuals). Anyway keep making me think and laugh at the same time.
-- Paul Howard, Laramie, WY

"You handled the VA Tech thing like a master. Most impressive!!"
-- John McJunkin, Avalon Podcasting

"What you have as a comedian is that quality of likeability and even if a joke or two is not A+ we want to hear more!"
-- Joey Edmonds, president, Joey Edmonds Presents

Excellent!
-- Sean O'Driscoll, Associated Press writer

Doug you are always hilarious.
-- Helena Andrews, writer for The Politico

Laughed out loud!
-- Frank King, professional John Edwards impersonator Los Angeles, CA

This is really funny stuff... The whole damned thing is genuinely funny. You're good!
-- Paula Wilson-Cazier, Laramie, WY

the website is really funny.
-- Christina Friedberg, Washington, DC

You're a sick, sick individual.
-- Jim Morris, political comedian and impressionist par excellence

Your website is pretty fun by the way
-- Amanda Blair, Big Piney, WY

The Fantastic Sams bit was the best you have written in a while
-- Dan Naatz, Bethesda, MD

re: the Kucinich sledding gag--I think I peed myself a little bit--just struck me very funny!
-- John McJunkin, Avalon Podcasting

Your bit about Ms. Nowak and Cupid both wearing diapers was certainly my smile of the day. I don't know how you come up with this stuff.
-- Sid Walter, Laramie, WY

You are sooo warped my friend!!!!
-- Becki Arneson, Laramie, WY

I love the blog.
-- Ani Bland, Reston, VA

Love it. LOVE IT! Best collection of Saddam hanging jokes anywhere
-- Howard Mortman, New Media Strategies and raconteur

LMAO
-- John McJunkin, Avalon Podcasting

Well written - this goes to Sean - hari kari indeed. I like the line about Edwards putting Britney to sleep, as well as others - :- )
-- Jim Grisham, producer for "The Sean Hannity Show"

I like the blog a lot! The new entry is hysterical!!!
-- Ani Bland, Reston, VA

You ARE really funny! I always wanted to be a talent promoter in another life! (Just kidding!) I’m getting a kick out of our employees trying to repeat your jokes! It could provide you with more material for your stand up act! (Smile!) Did you ever open for Kim Coles a few years ago?.
-- Gladys Cole, CFC campaign talent coordinator, Washington, DC

I don't know what is more sad: the fact that you are making jokes about dead old ladies or the fact that I laughed my ass off when I read them (especially the one about using the pitchfork to empty the truckload of them - how can something that graphic not be funny?). By the way, I don't know if I got a chance to say thanks for the "Cupid" article you sent me. It was hilarious. It's about due time that someone poked a little satire at a holiday that was created for the express purpose of selling cards and candy. Geez, I'm starting to sound like some kind of anarchist here. Anyway, you really are a hell of a writer. I hope you don't mind that I forwarded it to some of my friends. They loved it.
-- Jed Drenning, Morgantown, WV

THAT IS SO EXCITING ABOUT YOU BEING ON TV, YOU CAN BET I WILL BE WATCHING!!! SO, YOU BETTER BE FUNNY, I KNOW YOU WILL BE. HOPEFULLY I WILL SEE YOU TONIGHT, BUT IF NOT, WE WILL HAVE TO PLAN A TIME TOGETHER OKAY!!! SMILE TV STAR!!!
-- Peggy McGinty, Denver, CO

My husband and I were looking at your blogs last night - TOO FUNNY! Please let me know when there are any shows, etc. coming up and we would love to go!!
-- Daniella Knight, Washington, DC

Laughed out loud.

You should move to England - they'll love you there!
-- David Lean, Washington, DC

Monday morning and you have me rolling!
-- Dina Horwedel, Laramie, WY

Bro I got to tell you, THAT IS SOME FUNNY, FUNNY ****. Thank you for making an old grumpy ***er laugh today.
