I began in radio in 1997 on a radio show hosted by a now very famous comic, Jamel Debbouze. I would fake call listeners.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
I wanted to be a radio announcer.
Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.
I've always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.
I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.
Every time I went on the radio, I would take the crummiest radio station, the station that was like a toilet bowl. I would go on there and build up the ratings, so you couldn't do any worse.
When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.
I remember thinking, 'I don't know if I can do radio.' I never even listen to it.
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.
