Project Info:
From the initial run of the now iconic "Phil Hendrie Show", Eric Hester provided various music for the show. Eric is most well known for writing the intentionally cheesy jingle for "Ted's of Beverly Hills" steak house and the line, "... we want to put our meat in your mouth." Phil also named one of his characters after Eric Hester.
Fake Jingle Controversy: After Janet Jackson's 'wardrobe malfunction' at the Super Bowl, the FCC cracked down and made the show censor and bleep the word "mouth" from the jingle.
From Wikipedia:
Philip Stephen Hendrie (born September 1, 1952) is an American radio personality. He is best known as the host of The Phil Hendrie Show, a comedy talk radio program that is syndicated throughout North America on Talk Radio Network. While The Phil Hendrie Show became renowned for its unique and controversial guests, those guests are not real people at all. They are fictional characters created and voiced by Hendrie himself.
Hendrie has performed voices on the animated FOX sitcoms King of the Hill and Futurama, and as I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. and the Terrorist in Team America: World Police. In Spring of 2006, he had a supporting role in the live-action NBC sitcom Teachers.
Hendrie moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota and then to Miami, Florida where he further developed his show. The show then moved to KFI in Los Angeles, California and was nationally syndicated to approximately 100 radio stations. Hendrie was married in 1997 to radio talk show host Maria Sanchez. Their wedding was held at the Queen Mary and was broadcast live on KFI. In February 2005, Hendrie was moved from his flagship station, KFI, to XTRA Sports 570 AM, a sports talk radio station also centered in Los Angeles.
In early 2006, Hendrie announced that he was retiring from radio; yet the retirement proved to be temporary. He said that he felt he had reached the limits of what he could do in “terrestrial talk radio” and expressing a desire to shift his career focus toward acting. On June 4, 2007, it was announced that Phil Hendrie would return to radio June 25, 2007 from 10 PM to 1 AM PST on Talk Radio Network, with shows airing nightly. The new incarnation of Hendrie’s program is a combination of character voices from his old show and lighthearted political commentary.
Hendrie will be returning to KFI in Los Angeles, Saturday nights in November.
