Comedian Calls Telemarketers at Dawn
Comedian Crashes Telemarketing Convention, Wakes Them With Sales Pitch
Before Dawn

The Associated Press

 W A S H I N G T O N, April 22 � Louisville comedian Tom Mabe went
undercover at a telemarketing convention in the nation's capitol Monday
to turn the tables on an industry he loves to hate.

He was on the phone calling telemarketers in their hotel rooms before
dawn Monday.
....
Mabe hopes some of his calls to the telemarketers attending the
Washington conference are funny enough to launch a fourth CD.

He called the conference attendees in the middle of the night offering to
sell them a sleep aid and pretending he was calling on behalf of the
"Telemarketers with Insomnia Foundation." None of the people who picked
up the phone were amused, with most hanging up and calling him a jerk.
