Phil Hendrie
Phil Hendrie (born September 1, 1952) is the host of a nationally syndicated radio program, known for its unique guests. However, the guests on the Phil Hendrie Show are not real people -
they are characters created by Hendrie. Many callers are duped into believing that the guests on the show are real, when Hendrie is actually making most of the voices himself.
Some of the "guests" include:
- Bobbie Dooley, president of a local home owners association
- Jay Santos, member of a local police watchdog group
- Ted Bell, a Beverly Hills steakhouse owner
- Doug Danger, an openly gay newspaper columnist ("a gay man and a gay journalist")
- David G. Hall, who plays the role of Phil's overbearing boss
- Pastor Rennick, obnoxious African American priest from the Joyful Union Congregation
- R.C. Collins, a young pubescent cadet at a military academy
When Phil has one of his guests on, the opening segment is usually cordial, and the unusual premise for discussion for that hour is brought up. In the second segment, a new element is usually brought in to the ongoing discussion, and callers are introduced. The callers are usually angry and outraged at what the guests are discussing, and the guest usually responds back in a caustic manner.
In the third segment, a third and final element enters the conversation, and more calls are taken. The caller and guest converse in downright bellicose tones, which usually gives Phil the opportunity to hang up on his guest, and be apologetic to his callers.
On some segments of the show he provides his opinions and rants in his actual voice on matters of the day. There is a flurry of ethnic slurs, such as referring to Middle Easterners as "ragheads" or "Ay-rabs".
