I found a site called scratchbomb that lists the calls that people like sam Seder, Glazer, Benjamin and the like have made.

Wonder how I missed some of these.

I need to hear this again but one thing I remember is Jon describing naked horseplay and Tom telling him it was wrong and Jon acting as if "these things happen."

 He was the Mets fan, but it was in studio so I guess it doesn't count.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Best_Show_with_Tom_Scharpling_episodes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Best_Show_with_Tom_Scharpling_episodes) it was Jon Glaser.

Most definitely Jon Glaser. The voice is clear, and add to that that Mehmet was talking up Jon Glaser's charity benefit.
