Along with Rush...
HE WAS THE GREATEST...!!!
I freaking LOVED that guy! A genius! He’d start his show-prep for his 5 am start from MIDNIGHT.
A workhorse, and extremely funny..!! Only Rush is on his level.
I’ve heard them all, and this guy WAS TOTALLY AMAZING..!!!
He’d respond to my email on a regular basis, too. GREAT GUY!!!
Very sad. :(
He and Mel -AMAZING TEAM....! (his replacement is a complete duffs)
He grew up poor as hell in Tennesee, and he was a pilot. A world traveler...
He was cantankerous but funny, and when he did any interview he knew the guests background cold and his book solidly —none of that Larry King, “I didn’t read your book..”-b.s.
Just sharp as a whip, that guy. Very, very principled.
He was the salt, and Mel was the sugar —an amazing team.
He was the greatest. KGO went downhill after he was no longer there. A man of substance. He was a no nonsense interviewer.
