That was Susan "Nip" Roesgen.

Stepping into the way back machine.
My favorite character was Walter Crankcase with the news.
My favorite New Orleans running joke was their innuendo that Chris Owens was a prostitute. They had originally used the term hoofer (slang for dancer) and not hooker, but they promoted the dumbass miss understanding for weeks. Eventually Owens supposedly was going to take legal action. With a large build up and great fanfare they finally issued an apology that went something like this: Walten, “We apologize for the misunderstanding that has been occurring. We have never said that Chris Owens was a hooker. We said she was a hoofer. Hoofer is an entertainment term for dancer. She is an entertainer not a prostitute.” Then one of Johnson’s characters (I don’t remember but think it was Kenneth) said roughly, “To make this clear to everyone, Chris Owens has two legs. She kicks one to the left and the other to the right, and between the two of them she makes her living.”

Walton comes across as one of the most unhappy and angry “funny guys” around.
I remember Walton lying about prank calling Nick Saban at Alabama about something or other. But heaven forbid you should make prank phone calls to them on the air. You might find yourself talking to a deputy from JPSO about possible RICO charges.
I hope he recovers and finds some peace of mind and lightens up.

Walton and Johnson rule the mornings. I’m surprised everybody here is not a 10 percenter.
Guys are amazing. I’d love to see it in person.

I’m dating myself here (if not me, then who will! Lol). But I started listening to them when they were broadcasting from NOLA over 35 yrs ago on, i think, WRNO or B97.. they were super funny, at least to an 8 yr old .. back then, we had a USFL football team called the New Orleans Breakers; they’d signed a 19 yr old running back named Marcus Dupree, and W&J would always refer to him as either Marcus Rich as a dog Dupree, or Sick as a Dog, depending on whether or not they’d won the previous week.. Guess you had to be there, lol... then I remember listening to them again in high school, still funny.. but years later i had the opportunity to hear them again a few times and they’d gotten waaay too political, IMO.. it isn’t really a left/right thing, since i also find Seth Meyers (who is their polar opposite) to lean too heavily on politics in his show.. in any case, i dont want the guy to die, but it isn’t the kid of show i enjoy listening to anymore.
Yeah, folks and their content can change a great deal over 35 years. I think that they first started on WQUE, before it went "urban." I was in the Air Force back then, so I rarely got to hear that during that time frame, seeing as Al Gore had yet to invent the internet. (Now, I'M dating myself.)
It's been a while since I listened to them. Are they still doing the taser report? I always wondered how many people caught on to the music in the background...specifically, the song that it came from.

Ken Webster was terrible. I listen to the show in bed and his voice is grating. Just have Johnson do it solo.

Yes! They called themselves the Q crew IIRC.

Unfortunately this was way before DVR’s existed. I guess that’s fortunate for her. Sounded like it was a live shot so not sure if the news station even taped it.

I'll give you this... Ken has a voice for radio like Rachel Maddow has a face for TV and Lena Dunham has a body for porn.
However, the dude, Producer Kenny, is beyond talented in the radio business, segment production, on-location, etc. And given the circumstances, he is holding the show together with his humor and knowledge. Better than a re-run.
P.S. they all are saying the illness is not as serious as some were speculating yesterday, and that Walton WILL return.
They also said Walton has been burning the candle at both ends... lives in West Houston and after the W&J Show, he commutes to Beaumont (I think almost daily) to manage a radio station he owns. That is an insane commute, but luckily he only has to travel through 10:15am Houston traffic!

Dating myself too but....
Yep I miss Amos, the guy giving his comatose wife oral sex to get her out of the coma, only she choked to death....
Also, anyone remember the time they tild the "Why is aspirin white" joke on the air?
And who can forget the Kip Addaway "The night ole Dixie wrecked" still brings tears to the eyes.

Anyone know what happened to "the dark one," Jay Hooks I think was his name? That dude was nuts.
Jay had one of my all time favorite show moments. In the summer of 1996, Disney had their Hunchback of Notre Dame premerie in New Orleans, complete with a parade in the Quarter. Marc Morial was sitting up front with Mickey Mouse and Disney execs. Walton asked Hooks if he went to the parade. Hooks said, "yeah, I saw the big, dopey black rat sitting up front...and Mickey was next to him."
