Everyone’s got a price. What’s yours?

Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neil is offering $1,000 to anyone who gets an embarrassing picture of Charles Barkley tattooed on their body.

Would you do it?
If not, how much money would you need to get it done?

How about bungee jumping, bull riding or sleeping on a city street?
What would you charge to do those things?

We’ll be talking about scenarios like those and much more on tonight’s “What’s Your Price?” episode of The Comedy Point.

And there’s no better time to pit the dog up against co-host Christine Meehan in another edition of The Comedy Point Battle of the Sexes.

The debate on which gender is superior is one that you can have for eternity, or at least when your girlfriend isn’t listening. One sex is complex, sensitive and nurturing and the other can lift heavy things. But barring the task of carrying a refrigerator, which gender is Better?

The history of tattoos can be traced back to ancient tribes of the Aztecs and the Incas.
In recent times, these markings have been synonymous with Sailors and outlaws.
And today they can be seen on everyone from school teachers to civil servants.

Why are tattoos so popular today?

What was once the territory of the macho, is now used to mark the birth of a child and to display someone’s favorite Disney characters.

Is the prevalence of tattoos simply a fad, or does it signify a permanent change in our culture?

Tonight on The Comedy Point we’ll be trying to figure this out in our Tattoo Episode!!!

Our featured guest tonight is no stranger to ink.

Slim, Tiny, Mookie, Gooch, Peaches, Snookie, Moose, Bubba, Sparky, Rusty, Red – nicknames are all around us.

Even the commonly used names like, Bob, Billy, Frankie and Mike are probably not on the person’s birth certificate.

And being that our show stars a SOUL Joel and features a Maddog, we figure it’s about time to break down nicknames.

A true fan of the show will know the origin of “SOUL Joel”, but what about “Maddog”?
And do co-host Christine Meehan or writer Burak Uzun have nicknames of their own?
Tune in to The Comedy Point to find out!!!

To help us talk nicknames we will have one of the most famous nicknames of all-time on the show: “J.J” himself, Jimmie Walker will be calling in!!!

If you live under a rock or just immigrated from a tiny South American village with no TV or internet, click to learn about Jimmie Walker (here).

“The beautiful people, the beautiful people

It’s all relative to the size of your steeple”

- Marilyn Manson

In Beauty Pageants, you’re judged on how you look in a swimsuit and talent is only a modest part of the equation. So, is there a better metaphor for life?

On Tuesday, November 15th SOUL Joel will tell us about hosting The Miss Staten Island Contest in our first ever, The Comedy Point Beauty Pageant!!!

Hopefully, you’ll agree that beauty is in the EAR of the beholder.

The “contestants” will be the beautiful minds of:

Our Featured Guest: Comedian Josh Sneed – He finished #2 out of 100 comics in Comedy Central’s Annual Stand-up Showdown and his album was selected as one of the Top 10 Comedy Albums by iTunes.

SOUL Joel will have some of the contestants from this weekend’s pageant call in to talk about what it’s like to be beautiful.  Including the 2012 Miss Richmond County Stephanie Accardo, Miss Staten Island Jamie Lynn Macchia, and Miss Richmond County Outstanding Teen 2012 Alexa Nicole Moley!

So join, the ever-sassy SOUL Joel, the adorable Christine Meehan, the buxum Burak Uzun and the marvelous Maddog Mattern tonight on The Comedy Point – 5:00 to 8:00PM EST.

The word “Hello” is a catalyst for some of the most important and exciting moments in our lives.

Whether you’re meeting someone for the first time, reuniting with a long lost friend or greeting a spouse coming home from work, converging with another person is one of the most human parts of our existence.

What do you think of someone you’ve just met?
What do they think of you?
What makes you want to meet someone from across the room?
What makes a reunion with an old friend so special?

Tonight on The Comedy Point we’ll be examining everything that leads to and results from that powerful word: Hello

To celebrate meetings and greetings we’ll be welcoming:

Comedienne Lisa Landry. Lisa has appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and has had her own half-hour special: Comedy Central Presents Lisa Landry.
