Los Angeles, CA -Talk Radio Network-FM announces the addition of The Phil Hendrie Show, premiering June 25, 2007. The new overnight show is scheduled to be live 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. PST weeknights. Mark Masters, CEO of TRN-FM, welcomes the new show stating, "With the new Phil Hendrie Show, live overnights will never be the same again, like the smash hit "South Park" Phil is a master of satire and always delivers a pay off, which brings perspective on important issues of the day. Phil Hendrie has a unique skill of using absurdity to backlight absurdity. He truly is a genius at his art form."
"There's an enormous talk radio audience at night that not only wants the news and information, they want the explanation. I'm a monologist, a story-teller, a satirist and an interviewer. All of that will be put to use a thousand percent. Our show is that radio show millions of people have been scanning the dial at night looking for. June 25th, we arrive."
Adds Masters, "With the most contentious political Presidential election cycle in history literally on our doorstep, combined with all of the ongoing issues involving terrorism and the war in the Middle East, all talk stations nationwide will need a live overnight show that will be able to maneuver in and around this complicated landscape, someone with enormous range, someone who can entertain listeners but also inform them, someone who can help navigate his audience through big breaking news stories of the day, as they occur, yet do it all in an entertaining and compelling way that brings great perspective to issues - Phil Hendrie is the perfect man for that mission."
Phil got his start in radio as a DJ and began his career in talk radio in 1990. The first Phil Hendrie Show was a comedy talk radio program that became renowned for its unique and controversial guests, who were actually fictional characters created and voiced by Hendrie himself. The show became nationally syndicated in 1996 and was heard on over 100 stations around the country.
Phil Hendrie has performed voices on the animated FOX sitcoms King of the Hill and Futurama, and in Team America: World Police. In 2006, Phil starred in the NBC sitcom Teachers. He recently starred in the FOX/CBS pilot The Giants of Radio.

Yeah, the only problem was his schtick got a little old and seemed unserious. Locally, I believe he was replaced by Savage. I hope we get him back. He’s probably got a lot of new material.
Ted Bell’s jingle: “We wanna put our meat in your mouth.”
So do I.
Here is a clip I found on Youtube in which Art Bell talks about how great he thinks Phil’s impersonation is:

There are a few other Phil clips on there as well.
I’m looking forward to hearing him first hand, er ear.
In the San Francisco Bay Area it is on 860 AM KTRB.
