Bill Engvall

Comedian Bill Engvall is a wordsmith of entertainment, from his "Here's Your Sign" stand-up act in which he gives examples of the idiotic things people say; to hosting the TV game show "Lingo," in which players form word chains to win; to filling the pages of scripts for his TV sitcom "The Bill Engvall Show."
