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.

For a while, Phil even ran a blog designed to p*** off liberals: "georgewbushisgod.com". :)
He does a great job on the radio, even though his sense of humor could be a bit, oh, let's say "disturbed".
I saw Dennis Miller last night in Redwood City. Dennis was good, but seemed uncomfortable when the crowd reacted to Willie Brown’s comments. Dennis left fast and didn’t come back when the MC called him back.
Obviously I missed this one. What did Willie Brown say?
LOL... the return of Margaret Gray... Bobbie Dooley?
I’m with TK. I don’t know what you’re talking about. :)
I don’t know...I doubt he’ll resurrect them all the time. Maybe once in a while...RD
This poster was so happy when KFI dumped his show.
He really bashes people of faith, a lot. His mindset seems almost like the ACLU.
Hendrie’s like Bill Handel (or John Zigler, for that matter) in his rather flaming hostility to the Catholic church, but on top of it, he lacks the sense of humor of Handel, and the clarity of Zigler.
It’s strange in a way though, that the highest rated talk radio station in America, does seem to have an anti-Christian slant outside the Rush Limbaugh - Dr. Laura daytime lineup.
Hopefully, KFI won’t put him back on.
Even so, the more talk the better.
Talk radio is the modern pure democracy.
When Phil interviewed the aviation expert who explained how John John Kennedy cranked his plane into the ocean to get away from his nagging wife, that’s when I knew Phil was an evil genius.
E-excellent!
RC whatshisname? The kid in a military high school who couldn’t wait to get out so he could go to Iraq and rape women?
OR the guy who was outraged that a bunch of people had beat him up in the park. All he’d done was invite a little girl to get in his van with him and drive around and look for his puppy. After all he returned her! Well, her panties were missing, but how was that HIS fault?
It was truly evil, but memorable.
Or that Citizens Auxiliary Police guy who would do things like follow people who were talking on the phone and then hold up a big sign saying “HANG IT UP!” He was always wanting to get into people’s houses and “take a peek around.”
A great addition toTRN. Roy Masters sure is awesome, and he runs a great radio network!

LOL... yup... I remember him.
RC Collins...
Isn’t this the guy that was shilling some phoney diet pill? That was one annoying commercial.
I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.
A distinction without a difference except to prove, in his own mind, that he is the smartest person in the room.. Don’t get me wrong, he has talent, and I HAVE laughed at his bits. But how much better he would be if he got saved, and realized that his talents are a gift from God, not a stick to beat up the lesser man.
Ha. You got confused. Because of that, it’s a “distinction without a difference.”
You obviously don't listen or read PH. The man supports Bush.
My fave guest is Lloyd Bonafide, the Korean war veteran.
I also enjoy Jay Santos, the Citizens Auxiliary Police member...he like to do "flare drops", stop cars and check to see if people are doing drugs...LOL.
Jay Santos.
LMAO... they wanted to give random mouth-swabbings to test the local populace for anthrax exposure.
Here’s some clips;

If anyone does get through to his show, ask him if Bud Dickman is still on work release.
He’s great! He fooled my wife once and she called his show, only then she found out it was a fake personality. She laughs about it now. We missed him.
Phil Hendrie a Bush Basher?
Hendrie admires the steadfastness of President Bush and respects him about as much as is possible for a left winger like himself to do so.
Of course he’s conceited, but he knows he is, and the guy is hilarious.
Excellent! I’ve missed him and his cast of characters.
He’s done some of the best rants ever (totally ad-libbed), supporting the fight against Islamofascists.
PH appeals to the same type of people who watch Jerry Springer.
(arms out, palms facing up, moving up and down, opposite of each other)
Phil Hendrie....Coast to Coast...Phil Hendrie...Coast to Coast...
Great news. Phil’s voices are pure genius and make worthwhile listening, carrying what is generally uninspired writing.
I liked it when General Johnson Jameson called in.
Oh yes!!! So many characters!!! And the women characters, too. The first time I ever heard Phil, having no idea about his program, he had a cranky elderly female caller (Phil, of course) who had difficulty hanging the phone up in the cradle and who kept butting back in. It was riveting.
I’m with you. I didn’t care for Hendrie and found his schtick spectacularly unfunny. Not to say that he isn’t talented — he is, but his talents probably belong in voiceovers for cartoons, commercials or the like.
Oh no! I’m sorry I missed that one!! My two favorites are the “Gay man and a Gay journalist” and especially Bobbie Dooley, President of the Western Homeowners Assn!!! (Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh)
Horse puckey.
He's a talentless hack who made a living by purposely provoking people who weren't familiar with him, because he couldn't get people to call his call-in show otherwise.
Yes! Bobbie has my vote!! I missed this cause I was readin the thread backwards! I wish it was on AM radio, rather than FM, cause my home puter is on slow dial-up only! Shoot!!!
PH pioneered the high brow “pull-my-finger” genre.
Phil is just a guy who wants to stir up the sh&% and make people laugh. He pokes fun at the overly zealous who take themselves too seriously.
Examples: 1) Jay Santos - Brigadier Admiral of the Citizens Police Brigade. Their motto: “We take a peek over the shoulder of the police!”
2) Bobbie Dooley - Society girl and President of the Greater Western Estate Home Owners Association, who believes that the “old and unsightly” owe it to society to kill themselves to beautify her neighborhood.
3) Doug Danger - Gay man and Gay journalist who, despite how off topic, believes that ALL issues revolve around the idea that being a Gay man and a Gay journalist proves that straight people hate Gays. (No we don’t hate Gays, just HIM!)
4) Rudy Carnoza - Latin man who thinks that ALL women want to hear him say “lalalalalalalala” in their ear!
Keep in mind that Phil does ALL the voices of the characters on his show and then mixes in callers who THINK that the characters are real!
Springer is a low life who made his name first as a corrupt liberal politician and then as a liberal talk show host who appeals to the “lowest common denominator” is all humans and WANTS people to kill each other on the air.
Lighten up! He bashes everything and everybody!! Next he’ll probably start bashing internet forums like FR!!!
Dude’s a genius. Glad he is back.
It was a put on, but the way his “guests” would try and
justify themselves using flawed logic, blind spots, etc.,
and the way it would anger the callers was particularly funny.
We were having a company try and schmooze us to buy one
of their products, and were going to have it at a
Beverly Hills Restaurant. I erased the name of the
Restaurant, and replaced it with “Ted Bells Steakhouse”
and one of my colleagues, said she would never go there
cause she hates Ted Bell, cause he was an
insufferable snot. “Oooh, I hate him” were her
words. I couldn’t stop laughing. I finally disabused her
of that notion, but laugh about it to this day.
...and “Ted's of Beverly Hills Steakhouses'... We want to put our meat in your mouth
