After gaining fame for his constant back-and-forth banter with Don Imus in the morning, he assumed the midday role in the year and held it with his strong Brooklyn accent and intense passion for five years — many of them with Joe Benigno. Somers has been with WFAN since the beginning, serving as the first overnight host. Then, gaining increasing fame with Russ Salzberg, he played the fan favorite role on The Sweater and the Schmoozer. He also still showcases that soothing voice and those strange quirks fans have been accustomed to for nearly three decades in the Big Apple.
Benigno came to the station in as a guest host after winning a fan contest. He roots for the Mets, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers. For years we were tortured with a potential breakup of the all-time best sports duo in broadcast history, but it never happened. A personality that showcased both knowledge and extreme passion. Hell, this is why the nickname of Mad Dog stuck. Starting in as an overnight host and weekend fill-in guy, WFAN made its most incredible move ever by pairing him with Mike Francesa.
Three times every break for a dumb car commercial?? They actually talk sports! Evan would if Carton would stop with the shtick Boomer and Steve Somers are the best always!
Gio is rude to callers and he is a bit much but tolerable. I do love it when he impersonates Francesca, Mad dog, and Somers, etc. I love when they do the 40's music with Wayne Randazzo's Mets call! No more Maggie, please. Malusis is great,,,, Chris Mohr-minus the politics is great too To go from "Mike and the mad dog" to Carton and Roberts is a letdown.. Current and classic episodes, featuring compelling true-crime mysteries, powerful documentaries and in-depth investigations.
