They are hold-overs from the talk radio boom of the 90s when you could hear shows from morning to midnight, and every station needed 2nd string hosts to fill the schedule around Limbaugh.
There used to be some great ones like G. Gordon, Mike Reagan, and Ken Hamblin (really miss that show).
Gallagher was like Dr. Laura or Medved. They would make sense for a while, then they just say something so damn stupid that you realize just how much time you wasted on their shows.
I’m surprised he’s actually still around.
I think there may be some confusion between Laura Ingraham and Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
