Every weekend he'd have me come down to work on Dragnet, which by now was on television as well as radio.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I even played Jack Webb's partner on the radio version of Dragnet for a while.
My first job on the radio was writing jokes for a Baltimore DJ called Johnny Walker, who was sort of a '70s era shock jock who all the teenage boys listened to in my school.
My dad was in radio; he was a broadcaster, and it was in the family. He hosted kind of a game show at one point on TV; he was the original host of 'Good Day New York,' and he hosted the Jerry Lewis telethon for 15 years.
My son works as a production assistant in television.
He used to have a tent show, a little tent show, and I thought I was going to get a job working one year on the tent show, but he closed it down and I never got to go out there, but anyway, he had a sax and played drums.
I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.
I began in radio in 1997 on a radio show hosted by a now very famous comic, Jamel Debbouze. I would fake call listeners.
I enjoy getting to work on 'Saturday Night Live', where I get to do people like David Paterson. And then, its like a different muscle to do someone like a bicycle guy on' Portlandia'.
I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.
Doing radio commercials was how I was really able to leave my day job.
