Bill Hnadell didn’t use to guest host for Rush Limbaugh, there is a claim that he did twice but I would like to see the information on that.
Handel was staying on the air on 9/11 when Rush’s show was made impossible.
Yes, one kinda thinks that Handel might have been the broadcasting equivalent of the “Diaster QB”. I.E. a clause in his contract that says “In case of a major terrorist attack on the US, Rush Limbaugh gets to go be somewhere else except where terrorists might expect him to be found, and you take his place on the air.
