who dat?

[nmh]

Never heard him or heard of him.

[Glenn]

Good.

[Waverunner]

Funny guy, people get sucked into arguments without realizing he's also playing the other caller that's ticked them off.

Usually get his broadcasts in mp3 and listen to them.

It's amazing that people will try to logically argue with what appears to be an idiot.

[nikola]

Noooo :( He was a brilliant comic. His trolling is legendary!

[theDentist]

who?

[dangerdoc]

Joe Crummey was doing this back in the early 90's and was actually funny.

[Moonmad27]

If it's true that he's dropping the show to concentrate on a TV career, I just hope he made the right decision. His radio show was unique - now he'll be one among many.

[BallyBill]

I used to listen to him in the evenings before my son was old enough to drive and I had to take him to ballgames.

I'd heard he was too good for radio and was going to TV. I actually thought he was brilliant, but I just lost track of him after my son got his drivers license.

[The G Man]

Thanks for the memories, Phil. You are a comic genius. (Not to mention a 9/11 Democrat who supports our President)

[Louis Foxwell]

The man is a genius. I wonder how he is able to hold a flawless conversation between several of his own personas and callers. Having confessed his brilliance, I never listen to him for more than a few minutes. His style of humor takes advantage of the gullibility and self rightuous indignation of dimwits. Not funny to me. Can't say that I will miss him. His work is troubling and pointless.
Or, perhaps my puritanical viewpoint is too shallow to appreciate him. Perhaps he is a social commentarian of such depth, wisdom and satire that his work is beyond me. Dunno. What do you think, Amos?

[KC_Conspirator]

I do. Thats the funniest show on radio period.

[Gypssy]

My husband and I love him. He is a genius. I have laughed more at his program than any other I've ever listened to. I hate to see him go.

[Lazamataz]

Phil Hendrie rocked... I only heard him a few times tho...

[Zechariah11]

Phil Hendrie was great when he first came to Los Angeles.. His ego became massive, however. At the same time , he became less and less funny. He had to clue the audience in that HE was doing the voices. HE was the genius. HE was the huge talent. He got fewer and fewer susceptible callers and just talked to himself -- not as funny.

I think he tried to become hip with his son's generation and became more raunchy, belching over the air time and again, crude jokes, etc.

I think he just got tired of his old gig and his rabid audience (me included) grew tired of it.

I listened to Ted of Beverly Hills last night and didn't find any humor. He's been mailing it in.

There have been times, however, in his earlier shows that I laughed til I cried.

End of an era.
Only because of the accident of a job in Los Angeles did I ever get exposed
to Hendrie and all his alter-egos.

Yeah, I care. And so does my much smarter engineering cousin in Dallas.

I'm just suprised that Hendrie didn't get violence visited on him by
some disgruntled caller angry over being duped on air.

I'm gonna' miss Ted Bell. The time he gave the haute cuisine quiz
to some poor innocent young Southern lady still has me laughing.
And T.C. Collins and the over-the-top preachers.

[WackySam]

The funniest show in the history of radio.

I'll miss him.

[arthurus]

Who is Phil Hendrie? Did he have some sort of Car talk type show or something?

[VOA]

For the forum, here's background on Hendrie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Hendrie
(yeah, it's Wikipedia, but a fair summary)

And I'm gonna miss his imitations of Art Bell and Tom Leykis.

[devane617]

Listened to him a few times while I lived in Florida. Glad he is moving on. His brand of humor/talk bordered on offensive most of the time.
