There's a picture of him on this "Unofficial Jay Severin Home Page:"
http://www.freedom.simplenet.com/severin.htm

He looks like he's somewhere around 45-50.

That same page says he's filled in for Bob Grant on WOR.

I did hear that he was going to do the show from home when he 
was hired by WRKO.

Last time I spent any time listening was during the Christmas 
holidays when he filled in for the Chicks.  I thought he was 
interesting because although I disagreed with most of his personal 
opinions, he seemed to understand a lot about the political 
landscape.
