Beck is like a 13yr. old get about to pull a prank. There is an aura of mischief about him at all times.
Beck used to be our local afternoon radio guy (many moons ago.) And you’re right he was a prankster. Some of his bits were similar to Phil Hendrie stuff...and they were hilarious.
He’s managed to keep that “prankster” mode and get away with it on national radio and TV...kudos to him, it’s what makes watching him so fun, you’re never sure what he’s going to say, or do.
