Any TV talent from your local radio stations?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: daveyg013

After reading a Crank Yankers post, I got to thinking that there are a lot of TV personalities that have come from my favorite local radio station, KROQ. Many of them were snatched up by MTV, who must listen to the station quite a bit.

Alumni include:
- Adam Carolla (co-host of Loveline, co-creator of Crank Yankers, and former co-host of the Man Show)
- Jimmy Kimmel (host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, co-creator of Crank Yankers, and former co-host of the Man Show)
- Carson Daly (MTV VJ and talk show host)
- Kennedy (former MTV VJ and current host of Friend or Foe)
- Riki Rachtman (former MTV VJ)
- Chris Hardwick (former host of MTV's Singled Out and current host of Shipmates)

Current personalities with TV credits:
- Kevin & Bean (the voices of the recent Grammys and longtime hosts of KROQ's morning show)
- Ralph Garman (Host of Joe Schmo and Kevin and Bean's sidekick)

What other TV personalities are out there that have radio roots? Any from your hometown stations?

*Umm.. Ryan Seacrest, formerly of Star98.7 in Los Angeles and NOW of KIIS-FM in Los Angeles. Interesting to reverse the question.. so that you can ask what radio folks have TV roots and then answer Danny Bonaduce, co-host of the Jamie and Danny show on Star98.7..

Back when I was in High School (err... 94ish) Danny was on Eagle 106 in Philly, as part of the "Nut Hut" I think it was called. I think he was inbetween trips from rehab at this point.

Not sure if this belongs here: But another weird thing, David Boreanaz from Angle is the son of the local abc affiliate's weather man (Dave Roberts). He showed up on the news one night to surprise his dad. Got to love how the changed the News casters name, to a more generic name.

Ryan Seacrest was also on Star94 in Atlanta. He was an intern some years back. Interesting how he keeps working on Star radio shows. He should have gone to Star Search!

Going from TV to radio,
Pam Stone does the mid morning show here in Charlotte, followed by Craig Shoemaker who may be syndicated, and is really more of a stand up comedian.

Not sure if I'm right or if anyone remembers this but ...

Wasn't there a couple computer shows that used be on cable called C/NET Central (after the web site) and a show the was about tech gear?
-- Seacrest hosted the tech gear show.
-- Some old timer and some cute Aussie hosted the C/NET show (saw the Aussie on a infomercial recently)

Sorry I'm off topic! Just curious!

Jay Thomas, who used to be on 99X here in NY in the 1970s was most notably Eddie, Carla's wife on Cheers, and had a part on Mork and Mindy as well.

Of course no one uses their real names LOL. Except maybe Chakah Fatah? spelling?

One time on my local radio station I heard a very familiar voice from the past but not the right last name. So I emailed him and he confimed that he'd never use his real last name because of the crazies. Now, I thought no one knew this man from Adam but if he was worried about it, I can understand how the biggies worry about it too.

I think I remember the angel thing too. One time they talked to Dave Roberts about it but I got the feeling it wasn't something he wanted known all over the place but too late.
