 The Kevin Matthews Show 105.9 FM – WCKG Chicago This is a clone of every other morning show, though Matthews can't even get on in the morning, since his station carries Stern.
All the ingredients are there: • Lame jokes • Shitty impressions of all the easy celebrities (Stallone, Schwarzenegger, etc.) • Inexplicably fawning female callers • Inexplicably fawning male callers • Sycophantic sidekick • Twenty-five minute commercial breaks • Self-deprecating jokes about general shittiness of radio show • Endless shilling of corporate sponsors • Incredibly cluttered, "professionally" designed website • Funny sound effects and voices Is there actually a show here? I swear it's half commercials, both prerecorded and read live. This is the type of radio show that invariably leads people to say things like "I know I could be that funny." About all I can't do that Matthews does is fairly decent impressions, but then again, who doesn't do Stallone? This station must be a real treat to listen to. Stern – who since Jackie Martling left is just a chore to listen to – in the morning. Matthews in the afternoon. Steve Dahl, another asswipe, in the evening. Just twelve straight hours reminding you why there are CD players in cars.
