Lately, Blizzard has been sitting beside Dennis Malloy, filling in on Trenton's WKXW-FM (101.5) while midday host Michele Pilenza takes maternity leave. With the new job, which took all of three weeks to land, Blizzard will move to two days a week on the radio.
She's done warm-ups for shows hosted by Paula Deen and Emeril Lagasse, and cohosted PBS' Real Simple.
Next to doing stand-up at the United Nations, she says, "this is the biggest regular job I've had."
Also on the comedy circuit: Fishtown's Eric "Doogie" Horner returned to work Friday as a graphic designer at Quirk Books - 36 hours after he was released from NBC's America's Got Talent. Horner, 30, was in the top 48 for his comedy act. "I am happy I made it this far," Horner says. "It exceeded my highest expectations."

Shane Victorino spent a little private time with security officials at Philadelphia International Airport. He had no ID with him on July 29 when he joined a promotion in which players, broadcasters, and the Phanatic traded places with Southwest Airlines workers. (The Phanatic brought his ID. Go figure.) Victorino was pulled out of line, quizzed at length, and directed to sign all kinds of declarations. On another Victorino note: He is part of a new AT&T campaign to raise awareness about the risks of texting and driving. High schoolers can enter a contest to have him spend a day at their school, where he presumably will need a hall pass; info:
