Out of the many hilarious characters that local comedian Richard Knight, Jr. developed, probably the most memorable has been that of “Dick O’Day.” Donning a LOUD yellow suit and double eyeglasses (having two glasses helps him to see better he says) Dick O’Day appeared on the 90’s public television program Wild Chicago. The program touched on the beginning wave of reality television which had Dick running around town talking to the eccentric, loud, and of course wild.
That show was the Blondie to our Madonna.
Although the subject matter was pretty tame, it was the humanity and eccentricity that Richard Knight Jr. brought to his segments that made them a perennial favorite with viewers and critics alike. Two of his segments for Wild Chicago won Emmy awards for local television programming.
Richard also is well known for being the ringmaster for the Brazillian Pop band Samba Bamba which had one of our former guests Jen Zias as a regular singer. Read more…

The Chinese Zodiac considers 2006 to be the year of the dog. Insert joke here. So naturally, Miss Ronnie and Marc begged and pleaded Fausto to go to the south side and represent at the Chinese New Year Parade.
What was odd about the event was the lack of Asian people. There were high school hip-hop […]

The repugnant idea that President George W Bush might be gay went across our minds yesterday when we saw the video where he is asked by a college student at a local university wether he had seen the much talked about gay-cowboy film “Brokeback Mountain.”
The guy had a golden opportunity to say something […]

One of our cutest and most lovable stalkers (who has now become an intern) Jeri Blankenship sends us via email cute cartoon drawings of us as animals.

Girlfriend! Clay Aiken is in for a world of hurt. It seems that a guy he met on the internet pulled a Linda Tripp on him, and not only taped conversations over the phone, but kept a cum rag from a late night tryst in a ziplock bag to prove that they had an affair. […]
