too bad he was nothing compared to Art Bell
Are you kidding?
1. They aren't even the same genre of radio host/show.
2. Hendrie does a better Bell impression than Bell himself, at least it's more entertaining than the UFO, Bigfoot, Remote Sensing crap that was getting old when Bell mercifully left the air.

Phil Hendrie is one of the reason I got good when I moved to Flagstaff.
WHO?
Thank you for the information. I hope one of these stations has a On Demand service.

Angel of Death, do you wear an aluminum foil hat so people can't read your thoughts on Art Bell's suggestion?
Phil Hendrie is an absolute genius, almost Mel Blanc-esque in his ability to change voices, able to carefully and gradually escalate the claims, viewpoints and hidden motives of his "guests" from believable to shockingly farcical (always with some underlying social commentary), and able to wantonly trample on PC absurdity under the protective umbrella of satire.
Art Bell is also a master of his craft - a perfect radio voice and presence, and an ideally patient demeanor with guests and callers. He always said he did what he did to provide entertaining radio. Whether you gave any credence to the far-fecthed paranormal topics and conspiracy theories or whether you saw them as a load of tall tales told by nutjobs, Coast-to-Coast A.M. at its best was certainly entertaining with Art at the helm. If nothing else, it provided a forum for all those wackos, and it's entertaining in itself just to find out how many of them are out there and really believe their own claims.
Phil is indeed a great talent, always laugh at his shows. My favorite is the one about the Palestinian's (sp?) receiving large supplies of towels so they could snap the butt's of the Israeli's - instead of rocks or missiles or other weapons that can actually kill. Also like the voice of the woman who runs the home association, and her husband who is always in the background. His ability to quickly switch voices is fantastic.
I ran into Phil in Westlake Village, where he lives, his voice gave him away at a store. Nice guy.

Unfortunately his new show isn't exactly like the old show. He still does the characters, but not as often and he doesn't have callers that he's duped. Maybe it will eventually evolve to that, but for now it's no where close to the old show.
Bobbie Dooley and her husband Steve are who the other poster was talking about. Bobbie Dooley is outstanding.
Other great characters with some quotes:
RC Collins -- Dr. Ruth knows more tricks than a monkey on 100 yards of grapevine.
Ted Bell -- So, this guy drives up to the restaurant in a Camry with a bumper sticker that reads "God's been good to me". If you think God's been good to YOU, then you need to come to my house and take a look at what I got.
Lloyd Bonafide -- I'm going to break into the National Zoo and strangle those pandas with piano wire to show the Chinese you don't mess with America.
Doug Danger -- Vote gay or have a bad hair day.
Jeff Dowder -- Her's (Barbara Streisand's nose) is bigger than what Warren Beatty's got dangling. Climbed all over Peter Weller. Pearched up on Prince Charles. She grabbed his ears and was all just like "yeah yeah yeah". She climbed all over Elliot Gould. She just sweated on Andre Agassi. It's pretty well known that she left her stank all over John Peters. Don Johnson, apparently he parked it. She climbed on Steve McQueen. Apparently Peter Jennings got his face planted. Peter Jennings and Barbara Streisand had intimate relations which included teabagging. She left her stank on Kris Kristofferson, Dody Alfayed, Ryan O'Neil is still having to get out the Zidocane for all the open lesions. This next one is pretty rude, apparently Peter Weller, RoboCop, apparently she parked up on it and then barked at the moon.
Awesome news. Too bad I'll only get to listen to him on race days when I wake up that early.
I remember the first time I heard his show. I didn't know who he was and didn't realize the angle. He had a female "guest" who was promoting retard control and leashes for retards. Took me a couple minutes to catch on.
Art has his own pizza sauce!
These freaks are freaks.
