Is Joe Watching
the Fishing Channel While He's On the Air?
Is that why he sometimes can't
find his show materials?

Producer John Redding
photographing Joe making it appear that he was looking
up at the studio tv monitor and watching the fishing channel.
Joe says, "John's papparazi tricks
won't work. I was watching the first fly of the year manuevering
around the studio. Sometimes I make it appear that
I have lost my show materials but actually I'm right on
the ball - a true professional. Fishing channel, no way. My
concentration is 100% on the show....a... my show....not the
fishing show. When I introduced Read Sheperd as Trout Sheperd
awhile back, it was just a common mistake that many announcers
make."

Marge Asks Joe a Few Questions... |
Almost Show Host Marge
had a chance to sit with Joe
for
a few minutes after a recent show.
Here are some of the
questions she asked him:

Marge: Joe,
in your next life, what would you like to be? I gather
a radio announcer is out of the question.
Joe: Why
do you say that Marge? What are you implying? Maybe in
my next life, my career will get off to a better start,
and maybe...just maybe Miss Wiseguy I will make it to the
big time sooner.
Marge: Sooner? As in you still
think you will make it to the big time IN THIS LIFE?
Joe: What kind of a dum question is
that, Marge? I'm offended! Of course! I have my suit case
in the studio all packed and ready to go, so
when the big time calls - I'll be ready. I can be out
the door in under 42 seconds.
Marge: Under 42 seconds? Joe, no offense
but I
don't think you could tie your shoe in 42 seconds. And
I have seen that suit case. It is pretty dusty; looks like
it has been there for quite awhile. I bet the clothes
in there don't even fit you anymore.
Joe: Marge, in case you have missed
part of my show...I have been introduced quite often as
the Third Best Looking Guy in America...of course those
clothes will still fit me. Ah,
unless the moths have gotten at them.
(Interview stops briefly as Marge
has a laughing and coughing spell): Joe, so you actually
think you will be in the big time soon?
Joe: Ten four on that good buddy.
(Interview again stops briefly as
Marge has another laughing and coughing spell)
Marge: Ten four on that good buddy?
I haven't heard that phrase in 30 years! That phrase is
almost as old as that suit case you've packed away in the
studio. Joe, this thing you have with the big time....a...can
you spell delusional?
Joe: d....e....l...o...u.... no, wait.....d...e...l....u...l...u......
look, I'm busy and I have to go put another suggestion
in station's suggestion box. I
see no reason why we can't have a tree
swing out behind the station.
Marge: Thanks
for your feeble attempt at answering some questions, Joe.
(Joe walks down the hallway, checking
his cell phone to see if there is a message from the big
time. Next stop: the vending machine. Show business
can be cruel.)

Where's
the Smile Big Guy?
Is Weekend Morning Show Producer John Redding Hiding
Cavities?
(scroll down to see a smile appear)

|

Some think the lack of a smile is because his
pay isn't the same as it was when he was producing the
big time Don
Weeks Show -- others are inclined to think it might be
tooth decay. Some say he is sad because his favorite singer
was dropped from American Idol. John claims it is none of
the above. He says he has a great smile
but is saving it for later. You'll see. Please scroll down.
|
|
John promises to show Joe G. how to turn his studio into
resort, too. Stay tuned.

Joe and Don Weeks during
a portion of a previous radiothon that aired from WMHT Studios.
From 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. on Sunday morning, WGY and Fox 23 simulcasted
the telethon. Although it is not known why they are both
looking to their left, it is thought that they were
either listening to WGY News and Program Director Chuck Custer,
or it was a break in the action, and they were watching the
food table being prepared. (By a vote of 4 - 2, it was thought
to be the food table) |
|
| |

Not sure what Joe is saying, but it appears that he is holding
his stomach in for the tv camera during a previous telethon.
Pictured left to right are Fox 23's Diane Lee and Mark Baker,
Don, and some guy holding his stomach in for the tv camera.

All-Star Appetite!
Shirt Raised to the Rafters!

Joe's
show jersey was raised to the rafters in the WGY cafeteria

A tearful Joe remarked during the ceremony, "Let's have
a candy bar."

A Pre-Show
Tailgate Party That Wasn't... |

Starting
the pre-show party off with a hotdog and a smile!
|
| |
|
You
gotta be kidding! (notice the mustard on Joe)
Joe is stunned at the fate of the only hotdog.
Not one to give
up on the party,
Joe offered the hotdog
to show producer Andy and news anchor
Matt DelSignore.
Both declined. The banner came down and party ended early.

Front
of WGY Studios |

Joe claims he was
stunned to find this at the entrance to WGY studios. Joe
remarked, "Wow, I can't believe it! Thank you so much."
(Insiders are skeptical of this photo. One said, "The kid is
dreaming." Because no one has actually ever seen this poster
on the front of the building, it is thought that someone (take
a guess) doctored this photo to impress visitors to the website.)
|
|
| |
Wow!
Look at all those Gizmos |

WGY's Control Room console
|
Q. How
does Joe know which button to push? |
A. He doesn't. Just listen to the show. |
