From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Real Bob James, was a popular American radio and television personality from last third of the twentieth century, most noted for his outrageous radio comedy and high-energy on-air work at WGAR-AM, Cleveland, Ohio (1976-80), and WNBC-AM, New York City (1988). James (real name Bob Pondillo)) was creator/producer of The Cleveland Comedy Company, a Saturday Night Live-like local television program and winner of seven Emmy awards, broadcast on WEWS-TV, 1979-81.
In 1983 he co-founded the American Comedy Network (ACN), a syndication company that created, produced and distributed short form radio satire heard throughout the U.S., Canada, and most of the English-speaking world. James retired to academia in 1996 and was inducted into the Radio and Television Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2002.
At last news, he is teaching Electronic Media Communication at Middle Tennessee State University near Nashville [1]
