Glenn Beck.

Home Base:  New York City, New York.

Persona:  Glenn is a funny man.  He mocks his callers, pokes fun at current events, and picks on his sidekick Stu without crossing that tiny little line to mean that others like Limbaugh, Ingraham, and Savage think is really a line to higher ratings.  Okay, for them it probably is, since there are plenty of mean-spirited, insignificant people in the world that want to hear someone else get abused for a change.

Ego.  Doesn't really have one.  He's a recovering alcoholic who talks about it but isn't preachy; a middle-aged fat guy who claims to have a shrill wife; a mediocre host by his own admission.

Politics.  It's nice to find a bona-fide conservative on the air who talks about something other than politics.  We've all heard the endless tirades . . . Beck talks about runaway brides, men who forget anniversaries, gay marriage and the ten commandments . . . current events.  Whether or not you agree with his opinions, you have to admit that he's talking about things that are beneath the snootiness of some of the more pompous windbags on the air.

Quirks.  Makes fun of the competition.  He has "closed-line Fridays" where he'll hang up on anyone boring or smarter than him.  He figures if you tune in for three hours a week, that's fine.
