[edit] "Laser 101" Morning Show (1996-1999)
Prior to broadcasting the syndicated Bob and Tom Show on weekday mornings, KRCH aired a locally-produced morning show hosted by "Big" Mark Clark, Jessica Dahl, "the Superfan," and "Sloppy Joe." The show featured news by Dahl, sports with Superfan, and pranks performed by Sloppy Joe to Clark's comic foil. Later versions of the show featured only Clark and Sloppy Joe.
The show was wildly successful for several years[1], peaking during a controversial incident in which Sloppy Joe was sentenced to jail for several weeks[2]. Joe subsequently left the station in 1998 (unsubstantiated rumors indicate he relocated to the Indian Subcontinent permanently). KRCH then moved Clark to afternoons, where he continues broadcasting today.
