So that's where Mark Levin got some of his schtick?

Yes. He copied "get off my phone" from Bob Grant and "The Great One" from Jackie Gleason.

Real original, isn't he?

There's copying someone and there's using someone's signature line as a tribute. Levin uses Bob Grant's signature dismissal line as a tribute. Hannity, who replaced Grant on WABC, does the same with, "Straight ahead," to go into breaks.

The Great One is what Hannity calls Levin and the name stuck so he uses the Gleason music.

Meanwhile, Levin is out there night after night pounding the other side with original thinking and tremendous knowledge.
