Eddie Pence has appeared on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham," but, we must admit, we're most proud that he's appearing on our website in the form of an interview. If you happen to live in Pennsylvania or California (and if you don't, you really should) then make sure to see one of his upcoming shows this year. For more information on Eddie go to his website at EddiePence.com or his MySpace profile at MySpace.com/EddiePence (and while you're there leave the man a comment, because, well, everybody likes being commented as long as it isn't spam for a $500 Macy's Gift Card).

Q: Who were your comic heroes growing up?

EP: I loved watching anything with Steve Martin, I remember laughing all the way through "The Jerk", even though I know I didn't get 70% of the jokes at the time. Also, Gene Wilder, he's the most brilliant comedic actor I've ever seen. The way he can just bounce from one emotion to the next with just his eyes. I also loved watching Tim Conway. And who could forget the Green Lantern.

Q: What consumer product would you love to see get yanked off the shelves?

EP: Anything that gives you an erection without the visual aid of a naked lady. Also any product that claims to grow hair, but all it does if cause you to buy medication so you can get your erection back. Also, not a big fan of black liquorice.

Q: When was the last time you were truly humbled?

EP: Pretty much whenever I have an inner-monologue. If something goes really well for me I can always count on myself to bring me back to earth. I realize that as a comic we entertain people, there are so many important jobs in the world and basically we are a pleasurable distraction to the people who work hard everyday. I'm not saying that stand up comics shouldn't be respected, it's a tough and honorable profession to make people laugh and give them that escape, but to act like a diva when your a comic, well that just means you're an A-hole. We're the court jesters, we entertain and sometimes inform and comment, but we aren't curing disease or feeding the hungry. Those are the jobs that people should look up to.

Q: What person in the world is least like you?

EP: I'm not going to name anyone specific, but from what I can tell he works at the White House and also Lil' Kim.

Q: If we could peak over your shoulder while you were web surfing, what site would we find you at?

EP: Either WWE.com or ESPN.com, or I would be typing my name into Google.

Q: If you had just one week left on Earth, how would you spend your last days?

EP: I would spend one day alone, then two days with my parents (anymore and I wouldn't make the week), then another day alone, then two days with my wife, then the last day worrying whether or not if I just wasted the last week of my life.

Q: What's a perfect example of "less not being more"?

EP: Antiperspirant.

Q: How difficult is it to have a girlfriend while constantly being on the road?

EP: I'm actually married. I've been married for nearly three years and we had dated for five years prior to that, so it really hasn't been that difficult. I don't really spend a lot of time on the road, but I've never really been that smooth with the ladies so when I am on the road it's not that hard to avoid. I basically just act like myself, which apparently from past experience, is very unapproachable. I guess that's because off stage I'm pretty quiet and reserved, so I guess people mistake that for being anti-social. I'm not, but I think that's the way it's perceived.

Q: Where can we see more of you in 2007?

EP: I'll be touring some of the Improvs this Spring and Summer with Ian Bagg.

Q: We say wombat and you say...

EP: Fight! Wombat! Fight! Wombat! Fight! (Always wanted to be a cheerleader.)
