WTKK silent on Jay Severin suspension
Boston Herald ^ | April 2, 2011 | Jessica Heslam

Beleaguered WTKK radio talkmeister Jay Severin remained off the air yesterday — and station execs stayed mum — after the shock jock was suspended for boasting about his past sexcapades with female employees.

Women’s rights attorney and WTKK-FM (96.9) substitute host Wendy Murphy, who has filled in for Severin, called his on-air remarks offensive but questioned the station’s decision to suspend him.

Maybe Severin should have echoed ESPN anchorette Dana Jacobson. He'd likely be back at work by now:

"F--- Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus."

If she mentioned “Koran” in one of her tirades, she’d be room temperature by now.

If your station is in trouble for employees saying stupid and offensive things on air...Wendy Murphy should be on the back page of your replacement lists.

My impression of a typical Jay Severin session:

“Ken from car – how are you?”
“Jay! Great to talk to you! First time caller, longtime listener. I love your show and –“
“Thank you.”
“And I wanted to say –“
“Thank you. I have the best job in the world. It’s all because of you and people like you. You are the best and brightest and it is my pleasure to take your call. What’s on your mind?”
“Well, I –“
“It’s all yours. I’m eager to hear to from you.”
“Uhhhhh. Thanks. Uuhhhhh. I wanted to –“
“Go ahead.”
“Well, I was in the Air Force for 13 years and –“
“Thank you.”
“Oh, well, I –“
“Thank you. Thank you for your service. It’s people like you who make me proud to be an American. You are the best and brightest. Go ahead.”
“Thanks Jay. I –“
“No, Thank you. I mean it. What’s on your mind?”
“Well, I just wanted to say that I saw Michael Moore on TV and –“
“I’m sorry.”
“What?”
“I’m sorry.
“Uuuhhh –“
“I’m sorry you had to see such an unpleasant person in your own living room. Not the sort of person you’d invite over for a pleasant evening, eh?”
“Uuuuhhhh, No, I guess I –“
“Nor I, my friend. Nor I. What’s on your mind?”
“Well, he mentioned taxing rich people, and –“
“Ken, that is an excellent topic! I will be addressing that topic in just a minute! But they’re waving at me, and I’ve got to go to a commercial! Thanks so much for the call!”

My impression of a typical Jay Severin session:

That's pretty good! And accurate.

I gave up on Jay because I couldn't stand the multiple, long winded explanations of simple ideas or topics.

"Blah-blah-blah, by that I mean Blah-Blah, which is to say Blah-Blah-blah-blah. In other words Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah. Or said another way Blah-blah-blah.

That grew tiring and frustrating after a while, I got it the first time, thanks.

Oh yes. For a group of people he calls "the best & brightest" he sure treats his audience like morons.

Indeed. Howie is always good for a few laughs when I get out of work, and my mom listens to all four hours of his show every day.

True. Something else he does that drives me crazy is provide too many examples of something. He always seems to push it beyond his own ability:

"For example, a Red Sox player -- like, I don't know, Carl Yazstermski, or Tony Congliaro, or Carleton Fisk ... or ... or ... Roger Clemons ... or ... or ... or ... or ... A-Rod ... or ... or ... or ... or ..."

Jeez, Jay, give it a rest. As soon as you start grasping for one more example, don't try to give us two more beyond that. It's OK. We get it.

I thought that was a Hannity impression until I got to the end without the host making it about himself. Sean really should change his theme music to Toby Keith’s “I wanna talk about me”.
