Navy Entertainment at Home
Navy Entertainment is bringing the entertainment to wherever you are!
Today's Surprise Guest is:
Thomas Ian Nicholas Band
You might recognize Thomas Ian Nicholas from when he portrayed Kevin in “American Pie,” the strong-armed Henry Rowengartner in “Rookie of the Year,” or from one of his many other movies. But this actor, producer, director, and writer also is a singer and musician, and frontman for the “Thomas Nicholas Band.” With six albums under their belt (and a seventh on the way), TNB has performed around the world at everything from large festivals and private fundraisers, as well as for service members overseas as part of a Navy Entertainment Program tour.

Michael Kent
A resident of Columbus, Ohio, comedian and magician Michael Kent gives the ancient art of magic a facelift with an irreverent and often satirical comedic spin.
