There was a time in the early 1990s when WABC in New York City had the top-rated radio show in almost every weekday time slot. They had Jay Diamond on in the mornings, former mayor Ed Koch on from 11-12, Rush Limbaugh from 12-3, Bob Grant from 3-7, and then someone like Curtis Sliwa on late in the evening before Art Bell's "Coast to Coast" was on overnight.

The guy was erratic and all over the map politically over the years, but I honestly thought Jay Diamond was the most talented on-air radio personality I've ever heard.

Yes, he was the best impressionist I ever heard who was not an impressionist (e.g. Rich Little) for a living. Thank you for reminding me of him. Art Bell took a little bit to understand, but he was a great talent who was able to draw out his craziest guests without letting them know that he thought they were crazy. Sliwa was competant, but had a limited schtick. That said, he is the great part of NYC. He is like the Donald Trump NYC that regular Americans appreciate.
