Show Log for Wednesday, April 14, 2010

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.”

“Nobody else could’ve done what Phil Hendrie did at the NAB Radio Luncheon.”

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.

From: Radio Business Report, April 14, 2010

“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.”

NAB Radio Luncheon Features Hendrie Keynote Performance, Chapman Honor

TALK RADIO NETWORK syndicated satirist PHIL HENDRIE gave the audience a virtuoso sampling of his many characters in his keynote address, which took the form of his radio show rather than a formal speech. HENDRIE, seated at a makeshift console with a telephone, voiced producer/lackey BUD DICKMAN, writer and “singer” MARGARET GREY and her husband FRANK (“with the gender confusion”), fiery Pastor WILLIAM RENICK, restauranteur TED BELL (“TED’S of BEVERLY HILLS“), and suburbanite BOBBIE DOOLEY and her husband STEVE, interacting with each other as they directed their disdain towards the host himself.
