Nicely done, JJ. Where does the Mr T guy fit in in all of this?

I'd say Mr. T guy falls into "Pranksters remembered fondly." The shtick definitely got tired, but I've gotta give the guy respect for his ability to call at Tom's low point. I can remember at least once where Tom, at the end of a bad show, decided to take one more call to try and turn things around...only to be greeted by "Shut up, fool!"
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Smirnoff ice manager was probably my favorite call ever.  I can listen to it over and over.

Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

what about the angry mr. bungle fan, it seemed like a shtick.

What I want to know is, who did the characters of Woodsy and the Utica-based conservative talk show host.  Guy was amazing.

Nobody seemed to like the call at the time, but I was a big fan of Ethan, the high school newspaper reporter who interviewed Tom on the 2/7/06 show.

And let's not forget Akiva Smirnoff!  (Yes, I know most people want to forget him.)

Akiva Smirnoff = Andy Samberg.

Also, when did the Mr. T guy start calling in? I feel like he's been around forever.

This is fucked up but I've never listened to the Woodsy episode.   I gotta hit the books!

I was into the payola guy from a year or two ago - I thought that was pretty funny.


I remember Wurster followed a payola guy call as "Nigel from Matador", wondering why Tom wasn't playing New Pornos.  After all, "The check cleared!"  I suspected that it might have been an unscripted Wurster call.  It was the closest I've heard Tom come to busting out laughing.

i'm a big fan of the unscripted wurster calls.  i remember during one of toms meltdowns after another L, jon calls in from newbridge and and adds insult to injury by simply stating "you're done".

What show and when in the show was the Nigel from Matador call?
