The Bronx native and Nassau County resident will be remembered on the air next Tuesday in a day-long tribute that will resemble an “Irish wake,” WABC colleague Curtis Sliwa said.
“It will focus on Bernie the comic, Bernie the entertainer, Bernie the friend of so many people. It’s going to be a positive, uplifting day in which we remember the best of Bernard McGuirk, which goes back over years and years and years,” Sliwa told The Post over the phone from the WABC studio on Thursday morning.
WHAT DOESN’T BELONG AND WHY??? That was my FAV!!
My favorite parts of the Imus show was when McGurik played the cardinal.
Yup,heard that this morning. I loved hearing him with Imus! A funny,funny guy.
RIP Bernard Thanks for the laughs and the great political commentary.
Bummer, Bernie was one of us.
He was great radio and seemed like a solid person.
I listened to a lot of WABC in the late ‘80s, and he was already gone. Dave Dawson had the morning show for a while. Rush Limbaugh had the 10-noon local show. Lynn “The Fishwife” Samuels had noon-2PM. Bob Grant owned drive time. Others would pop in like Jay Diamond and Joy Behar after Rush dropped the local show. Barry Farber completely dominated when he shared the Samuels slot and Samuels completely lost it, causing her to lose her cool on the air and getting fired. Farber sounds so mild and measured and even slow, but once going he didn’t stop, and didn’t take a breath. She couldn’t take it anymore. Good times.
I always thought that Eileen Marchese was the cutest thing back in the day. Imus would be raunchy and she would somehow maintain her innocence while delivering the traffic report or weather or whatever.
RIP.
Rob Bartlett...fabulous as the “Godfather”!😀
If you haven’t already, get a PSA test as soon as possible. It’s only a blood test, super easy. It can save or prolong your life.
Which doesn’t belong and why ?
