  MindyFor Mindy, the Absolutely Mindy Show is just an excuse to prolong her own childhood, which she spent sitting in her closet playing radio. She had the number one radio station in the whole house, and this gave her confidence to try it after college. When she's not busy talking into her hairbrush microphone, she can be found playing in the great outdoors, teaching her cat how to smile, trying to learn the banjo, paying parking tickets, or dancing like a hillbilly. Her mom wants her to invest in a "nice pair of black pants" as a sign of sophistication, but Mindy knows better.

  Robbie SchaeferRobbie Schaefer's Mom wants you to know that he's funny. Not weird-funny, just funny-funny. In addition to being the guitarist and songwriter for the acclaimed folk/pop band Eddie From Ohio, he released his first CD for kids, 'Songs For Kids Like Us,' in 2006. He now brings his talent and extremely bald head to KiDS Place LiVE – where his show occurs from the top of a tree. Where he hangs out with his guitar. And a talking fish named Clarence. And where his Mom comes to visit and speaks to him through a megaphone. Okay, maybe he's a little weird-funny. But his Mom thinks he's the greatest. Decide for yourself!

  Kenny CurtisHere is a funny thing about Kenny Curtis. He was the last person to see what everyone around him knew all along: He was born to do children's broadcasting. In college, when he was looking for sane, respectable work, his roommate sent him to audition for the clown/co-host role on a children's TV show. "You'll be perfect for this," he said, and Kenny got the job. As an undergraduate with serious acting aspirations, Kenny landed a role in a movie for adults called Cry-Baby. Coincidence? We don't think so. As he pursued his career in children's programming in both radio and television, Kenny discovered that not growing up could be a valuable asset on the job. It may explain why today, as a father of five, he still has an uncanny knack for finding the way to children's hearts and minds. Hear his vision of kids' radio come alive on Kids Place Live.
