[period end of story]

Syndicated talk show host Phil Hendrie will broadcast his radio show for the last time tonight.

I knew you'd be happy.

[DManA]

I wonder how they came up with these clueless callers. I don't think they were actors. The show had a one joke premise but there were flashes of genius.

[period end of story]

Don't count on it.

[period end of story]

You have Savage and Levin on the same station?

[period end of story]

One joke premise, consrevative show, liberal show; it's all pretty much a one trick dog and pony show.

But is it any good is the question.

I think he was.

[period end of story]

Thanks all.

See ya later.

[DManA]

He's on when I walk the dog. It's him or Air America. Easy cboice. Wondering who they put in his place.

I loved his Latin Lothario character, where he'd be a "guest", and get into conversation with a clueless female caller, along this line:

Latin: "The women find me irresistible, especially when I do the tongue"
Caller: "What are you talking about?"
Latin: "La la...LaLaLaLa..La la la!"
Caller: "You're disgusting!"
Latin: "Admit it - hearing that, you are dampening, are you not?"

It'd go on from there, Phil further enraging the caller...

[ErnBatavia]

For his sake, I hope he's not thinking of a TV career...talk about a "face made for radio"...

[SoCal Pubbie]

Phil's been doing his thing for 16 years now.

[longtermmemmory]

I always thought the feminist callers who "did not get it".

The problem was the airtimes. Just don't listen to the am radio at night.

[Mike Darancette]

I just hope he made the right decision.

I've seem him on TV and he is really funny. He made the right decision as a Registered Democrat supporting Bush.

Never liked Glenn Beck, especially now that his smug puss is plastered all over CNN.

Howie Carr is a hoot. Laura Ingraham and Hugh Hewitt are also growing on me.

[WackySam]

I loved his Latin Lothario character

Ahh, Rudy Canosa, hillarious.

[KC_Conspirator]

Funnier that that new jingle for "Mint Green Anal Wipes"?

"Merlot: Wine or a magician?" - Ted Bell

[VOA]

At Ted's of Beverly Hills...

We want to put our bleep in your mouth...

I was only an occasional listener to the show...but when he started
playing the bleeped version...it was a real screamer.

Actually the guvmint censors did Phil a favor in that case.
Sort of like the "this weekend in needless censorship" on Jimmy Kimmel's
Friday night shows.
Some of their "censoring" makes pedestrian material into well-nigh
off-the-chart funny and subliminally obscene.
