I know I'm rather late coming
into this discussion, but I can attest to one "Mister Mike,"
host of the Children's Music Hour on WOTW in the mid 80's being thrust
into that position. I had originally thought that it was simply another
taped program I had to rack up when I interviewed with Ernie Jenkins the
previous Friday.

Heheh.

But to this day, it ended up
being the most fun I've ever had in radio.

(though I still have
a lot of fun!)
