Comics on the radio in the Windy City

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 20th, 2008

WLS radio host Jerry Agar has an interesting feature every Monday morning from 10:30 to 11 CT– It’s called “Jerry’s Kidders” and it features three Chicago comics doing a humorous wrapup of the week’s events. Tim Slagle, Dobie Maxwell and Ken Sevara are the Kidders.

Tomorrow’s show, according to Maxwell, will have be different from those that preceded it. From Maxwell’s bulletin:

We’ll be on for a full hour from 10 to 11 and we’ll be doing ONLY jokes about Barack Obama. The segment will be called ‘Barack No Phobia– No Kidding Aside’. I think the title alone makes it worth a listen and I hope you can join us.

There will be a chance for you to add a joke to the mix as well if you have one. Jerry will be taking emails and calls, too, so start thinking of one. It will be fun.

No doubt folks who live in Obama’s adopted hometown will be more amenable to making and listening to gags about their Senator and former member of the Illinois State Senate (representing the 13th District on Chicago’s south side).
