I don’t know what the equivalent of “break-a-leg” is for a talented radio personality going on stage live, but you know we all wish you the very best!

I don’t know what the equivalent of “break-a-leg” is for a talented radio personality going on stage live, but you know we all wish you the very best!If said talented radio personality is going on stage live, "break a leg" is appropriate. If it's merely me going live in the studio, however, which is what I do every Monday night, I guess the appropriate salutation is, "Break a butt cheek," since I do my show in a sitting position and my humor is somewhat low-keyed. (Go ahead, call me a sit-down comedian if you must.)
I don't know if I'd consent to do the show on stage in front of an audience. For one thing, I'm not really a joke machine, and live audiences these days aren't exactly renowned for patience when they expect to hear comedy and begin shuddering or sweating or throwing projectile objects because they haven't gotten a machine-gun-fast barrage of jokes.
For another thing, I was very impressed with the truth therein when I read Goodman Ace quoted as saying, "A lot of times, on the air, I noticed comics in a sketch do a joke that destroys the character because it gets a big laugh." I'd rather have consistent humour than a pocketful of belly laughs, though if I do get a big belly laugh or three I'm not going to reject it entirely. (I've already rejected my big belly, however; I spent most of 2007 and 2008 losing a hundred pounds.)
By the way, if you'd like to hear some of what I've done already, here you go. If you can stand it.

27 July 2009: Mr. and Mrs. Breakfast Show, Revisited. (Segment from that evening's program; it's an update I did of a classic Fred Allen/Tallulah Bankhead radio sketch, adapting its basics to today's obnoxious couples morning shows, radio or television, and rewriting it a bit to make it a little more Las Vegas-contiguous.)
