As the NAB Show in Las Vegas packs up its tent for another year, we offer this memory of Talk Radio Network host Phil Hendrie at the annual Radio Luncheon where he and his ground-breaking talk show’s “cast of characters” entertained broadcasters using nothing more than a desk, a microphone and a telephone.

Leading the show off tonight was Larry Grover, chairman of Conservatives of Kern County, who has second thoughts about Sarah Palin being the face of the Tea Party Movement. For starters she’s very “matriarchal.” She reminds men too much of a shrill mother calling them home for dinner, a mother with booze on her breath and maybe the front of her robe open. Larry knows. His mother came on, later in the hour, and managed to tell the audience Larry isn’t circumcised The next hour it was Dr. Jim Sadler who told Phil’s listeners that even though Larry King may have screwed around on his wife, like Tiger Woods did to his, Larry is so respected, so loved and so needed by the American people he could be caught with an infant in a parked car and still be on the air the next night. The last hour was Phil rant time as 
he pronounced Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul dead meat for the 2012 presidential run. Phil also sounded off on another “parent”, this one suspicious of third grade boys being told to dress up as women for a class project because it “promotes the gay agenda.”
….and it starts in a few minutes at 9pm PDT……Tune in for God’s sake…..and quit worrying about whether or not a local affiliate carries it……..
Weird, ain’t it…Amanda Green from Miami made it. I like it.
Of course, if the occasion calls for it and there is something news worthy to report. However, until then we have some cheap, racist e-mails some dumb guinea in upstate New York sent around that we can show you tonight. 
Leave it to an on-air guy, Talk Radio Network’s Phil Hendrie, to blow away the suits at yesterday’s NAB in Las Vegas. Without introduction, he walks on stage to a makeshift studio, sits at a small table with a mic and filtered telephone, then launches into many of his well-known radio characters; many conversing and arguing back and forth much like his daily radio show. Upon conclusion, he simply walks off as if it were another show. The Mouth wonders: Is this the first time in the history of any conference where someone went on stage un-introduced? I’m just askin…
From THE MORNING MOUTH
Talk Radio Network nationally syndicated talk host Phil Hendrie performed at the NAB conference luncheon in Las Vegas – he simply performed his radio shtick without introduction or comments afterward. The talk star sat down in a makeshift studio and did a stream of consciousness riff through his many character voices. When it was all over, he left the “studio” just as any talent might at the end of a show. (April 14, 2010)

Nobody else could’ve done what
Phil Hendrie did at the NAB Radio Luncheon.
Wearing his usual leather jacket and looking like any jock going to work, the TRN-syndicated personality wordlessly sat down at a table on stage with a microphone and a specially filtered telephone and went to work – creating a theater-of-the-mind universe of characters including his famous “Bobbie Dooley” and a minister who wants Oprah’s TV gig (“just give me a shot”). There were probably a half-dozen characters conversing with and sometimes fighting with each other, being catty and sarcastic and egotistical – and funny. It was an amazing live-with-no notes demonstration of Hendrie’s imagination, and a special NAB show capsule of what he does every night on his Talk Radio Network syndicated show. You could either close your eyes and listen, the way a nighttime listener would, or you could be amazed at the sight of the dead-pan delivery of some pretty crazy lines of dialogue – after which Phil just walked off the stage, his “shift” over.
Tom Taylor-Radio-Info.com
“Even for a room full of radio people, it was amazing to watch as Talk Radio Networks syndicated host Phil Hendrie created several of his audio characters live on stage. He switched voices constantly in a fast-paced off-the-wall conversation involving several men and women – all of whom are actually Hendrie. And none of it was recorded as the characters talked and argued with each other and Hendrie.”
