I was watching that horrible "Left Behind" with Nicolas Cage. I saw Spud and told my SO, look it's the guy who was MCing the bridal show in Kenner, you know this is low budget.

He latched onto John Goodman during Goodman's run of making movies in/around Louisiana - and leveraged that friendship into a decent supporting career.

He's not a bad comedian - I saw him way back in the late 80s/early 90s at the (I believe) Grin Room in BR.

I haven't caught much of his radio show - just a few snippets here and there.

He got rave reviews as The Kingfish, off-Broadway.

He also never has to paint his house again.

I'm not sure if they are still airing, but it was kind of said that he got canned at WWL a few weeks after that ad campaign started.

They still air.

I'll tell ya what, whoever canned him over Scoot needs to be publicly flogged.

Always liked Spud; I don't listen to 870 AT ALL anymore since he left.

Yep. He has followed his dream and is poor as a church mouse but he never complains.
