Talk:Mancow's Morning Madhouse

Show name
Should the article be renamed simply The Mancow Show (or possibly The Mancow Radio Experience)? The Madhouse name was phased out long ago both on air and in media/promotional materials.

Mancow seems intent on on the show now being called The Mancow Radio Experience, but I have yet to see it used off air. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.27.160.164 (talk) 14:35, 26 December 2009 (UTC) The officer in Atlanta. You should be starting a fund to help defend this person. I hate your show and your crazy politics but someone needs to start setting up a fund to help with his defense as he will need the very best liar as I call them MONEY CAN BUY. This officer was doing his job and what would this man have gotten. A slap on the wrist and a fine, but no he had to make it worse buy taking a weapon. He would be alive today with out taking the officer weapon. A stun gun CITY PROPERTY. Please do not use my name but if you do set up a fund let me know I will give. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3050:9590:9135:BD36:835E:F510 (talk) 22:13, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Marissa Sanchez, DJ Luv Cheese Departures
Can we get some references that support the claims that Marissa Sanchez and DJ Luv Cheese are no longer part of the radio show? These claims have been on here for at least a couple months as of this writing, yet when I last listened to the show on 1/9/2009, both of them were still heard (Marissa's bio and photos are also still up on Mancow.com). I cannot find any information regarding either of them leaving the show for the reasons written.

What you are hearing are old clips. Luv Cheez was discussed on air and he confirmed on his myspace. Marissa quietly disappeared and now there's a new girl, who's name I haven't caught. She sounds similar to Maura Myles from WLS and might be her playing a character, though nothing to confirm. Just speculation on my part. DJ Crazy Lips announced his departure on Mancow.com--12.216.113.118 (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it must be noted anything from the top of the hour to 6 minutes after is a replay. It's done for stations that don't air top of the hour newscasts (which is 90% of Mancow affiliates). Time for newscasts is just a Talk Radio Network standard. If you listen enough you'll notice the same clips all the time, some dated back as far as 3-4 years --173.27.160.164 (talk) 00:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Adding and/or Omitting information (Fancruft vs. Elaboration)
If you wish to delete or change some of this article, please give me a valid explanation why you think omitting information that has already been published and/or admitted to by the subject is necessary to be hidden from the readers. Also if you have an alternative to the page set-up please let me know. I'm willing to listen to alternatives. I will not put up, however, with omitting useful information because the person who wants to change them just feels like it, or feels like it's none of their business. This is a fan page which is supposed to be filled with information and trivia for all the readers to know. NOT a means of omition for purposes of censorship.

-Maddawg1967


 * The information is hardly useful as it depreciative; it's written with a haphazard and fanboyic tone that is reminiscent to rabid 12 year old. Not only is the tone inapporiate to Wikipedia, it's full with a bunch of mind-numbing cruft, which makes the article seem like fan-based website. The reader does not need to know what each person says and does, or a three-piece biography on the person. Keep it brief and concise.


 * If you still not convinced, indulge with the grotesque edits of the a hapless group of eleven years olds and then compare it to any featured article. Obviously, you notice see a major difference; if not, consider relocating to Uncyclopedia or [Tripod.com]. You have to understand that there's a difference between having enough too much information. And even though your translucent motives hint you want to help the article - a plethora of information is just going to belittle it. If you still disagree with me, contact a veteran Wikipedian and ask him/her to resolve these discrepancies. --ShadowJester07 20:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with my edits. The fact of the matter is YOU JUST DON'T LIKE THE WAY I EDIT MY PAGES! You obviously either have something against me personally or have a distinct love censorizing on what you feel the public needs to know or what you feel doesn't need to know.

1. This is about wikipedia and the readers, NOT ABOUT SHADOWJESTER!!!

2. You may be an editor on this page, but I am too. Go GET OFF YOUR GODDAMNED HIGH HORSE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING SENIORITY ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH WIKIPEDIA. I have enough knowledge about Mancow and other subjects I know about to make an authoritative contribution to this page. If you don't like it, you can contact someone else at Wikipedia to resolve this matter. Until then you can feel free to change it if you don't like it, but bear this in mind, if you omit information on this subject to "what YOU feel the readers DON'T NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING about a certain fact, IT WILL BE REVERTED BACK. 3. You cannot run me off this page or this board. Uncyclopedia? Come on, what are you trying to prove? Again, this is a public board. Not a board suited to the likings of ShadowJester!

-- Maddawg1967


 * /Sigh/, Maddawg, Please Drop the preadolescence derivative barks, and childish caps lock exclamatory remarks.

I've already told you this at least three times in the past. If you feel this article is so immaculate, ask a veteran Wikipedian to review it; I'm almost convinced he/she will agree with me. I don't have seniority; I'm not an Admin; nor am I an honored Wikipedians. My suggestions are derived from several College level writing courses and years and years of proof reading myriads of essays written by various children across the Chicago-land area. I'm not saying your additions are a disease, but rather torpedo the article with much unnecessary information. I've been across various Wikipedia Articles and seen similar articles with much similar surpluses of information trimmed.

Wikipedia is not a "board", it is a public nexus of information. Rather than battling it out like two gladiators, I strongly suggest getting an experience Wikipedian involved to sort out this disarray. I have nothing against you, nor am I a fascist totalitarian reverting machine - unlike you at certain times, I don't indulge in my own festering contraptions; 90% of this page was indeed written by yourself, and later re-worded/edited by myself. --ShadowJester07 20:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Rather than bashing each other like two tyrants, why not try to compromise? Yes, Shadow has a point that roster is jam-packed with information, he has just as much a right as both of us to intervene and edit them. MadDawg is trying to help the article by adding some (remotely) information. Why not just add a link to Mancow’s minor sidekicks – providing you can find the list online, and then just make some sections about his notable sidekicks. OR, why not make a subpage? Either way, I’ll leave a clean up tag so someone will remember to clean It up.


 * I hope I solved this dispute

This is correct. Abe Kanan voices all of these characters which mancow still uses on his show, even though he has been asked not to.

-- Feudman


 * At the moment, it looks like there is an edit war going on between Knowpedia and 67.135.148.79. In my opinion, none of the information that 67.135.148.79 wants to add is relevant to "Mancow's Morning Madhouse"'s notability.  In relation to the "Howard Stern Show" article: the abundance of information on that article comes in the form of prose- explaining especially important events in the history of the show, characterizing some of the reasons why it is so controversial and notable.  These lists of historical line-ups and running jokes that Knowpedia has removed are incidental, non-important aspects of this radio show. johnpseudo 23:26, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Removed KAZR afliate per http://www.kcci.com/money/11299447/detail.html. -tk

Theis article is extremely crufty, has inappropriate humor inline, still has too many unsourced statements and is generally not in line with the tone necessary for an encyclopedia. I have added tags to invite cleanup. 68.198.30.148 16:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

-- Ooooo College writing courses. Anyone can take college writing courses. Care to source publications? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.2.73 (talk) 05:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Phil, Big Gooney, etc.
Dr. Phil and Big Gooney and some of the other sidekicks have been relocated to "Other Cohorts" because they do not make everyday contributions to the show. However they are still contribtutors and thus still deserve merit.

--maddawg1967--

--Feudman--

Hey, wanna quit reverting my addition. I am not saying anything that is not true nor is it non-neutral. Contrary to your assertion, this is not a fan page. It is an encyclopedic entry and negative items may be added as well.


 * Really, The whole "Mancow is best known as a Howard Stern imitator...." is dissonant to Wikipedia NPOV and Living People's Articles. Unless you manage to cough up some proper sources to support the slanted claims, it will be deleted sometime later.


 * And contrary to your claim, This is Wikipedia, not a fansite; please learn to use a spell checker. ;-p. --ShadowJester07 18:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

What is spelled wrong?

Merge from Freak (Wally Kozielski)
Please merge any relevant content from [ Freak (Wally Kozielski)] per Articles for deletion/Freak (Wally Kozielski). (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-16 02:20Z 

Why merge these articles? In the world of broadcasting all of these people are important and relevent. They have been on some very big radio shows and they are signifigant as inidivudals.

Freak actually has remained on the air in and around Chicago since departing Mancow's Show a few years ago. He currently is the Program Director and afternoon drive host for WRXQ 100.7FM in Joliet. He was also on the air in Chicago before Mancow arrived from San Francisco so I think he should get his own page as well as being mentioned as a past Madhouse cast member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.148.127.130 (talk) 20:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Images and tags
Tags and images are appropriate. --Masterpedia 14:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * They have been claimed to be promotional, which is not true, since in that case, almost CR any image on the internet could be promotional. Also, the images are replaceable fair-use images, which basically means their use on Wikipedia is not really needed, since people can still take pictures of them. Please see read the image guidelines, which suggests that images may not be used for decortication, if they are un-free. And also, why did you revert back to an edit with wrong sub-headers, and poor spelling, grammar and punctuation? I'm suddenly the vandal for attempting to correct something? I'm re-adding the clean-up tag, and removing the images. --Egan617 17:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Do not remove merge tag!
The suggested merge was Do not merge.

The merge tag should stay for 2 weeks on non-controversial topics and 4 weeks if there is a controversy. --Masterpedia 23:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I Don't think the articles should be merged, since the article about Mancow, and Mancow's Show are about two different topics (For the most part). Jerry Seinfeld and Seinfeld are separated into two topics, as is Howard Stern and Howard Stern Show. Also, the article is missing a lot of information that it previously had in January, which was removed with no rationale. Maddawg1967 and I have worked fairly hard to add information to this article, and attempt to keep it encyclopedic and informative. Sure, it may have been crude, but there's always Clean Up and such. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  00:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The information was not all removed by myself, other contributors have also removed non-notable un-encyclopedic information. Howard Stern is by far more notable than Mancow. I'm not fan of either, just trying to remove nonsense. Stern has been in movies, made huge news with his move to XM, had TV shows and much more. Mancow is comparable to The Bob & Tom Show or the Free Beer and Hot Wings Show. (These radio shows are also in need of a clean up and wikified) The merge is to create talk about the importance of these articles. --Masterpedia 05:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Do not merge: The article about Mancow Muller has a lot of information about his personal life, the book he wrote, etc...generally stuff that does not need to be included in the radio show article. Both articles can stand on their own. --Mattarata 07:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Split?
My first look at this article, I notice that the list of "cohorts" and such is way too long. I suggest a split into a new article, perhaps List of Mancow's Morning Madhouse characters. This would make this article a lot easier to read and understand. Mynameisnotpj (talk) 11:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

WLS
Should this be listed as an affiliate? It's pretty much a separate show exclusive to the market.

Smith, a large African American, was reportedly nicknamed "Al Roker, Jr." by show host Erich "Mancow" Muller, after Muller saw in Smith a resemblance to and as a parody of Al Roker, the NBC weatherman and Food Network show host, primarily because both were overweight African-Americans.  Al Roker had also published a book (Don't Make Me Stop this Car: Adventures in Fatherhood) describing his inability to conceive a child, which also contributed to Al Roker Jr's name.  This has drawn criticism from many outraged African-Americans, considering this joke "racist and bigoted." (The name is also somewhat erroneous, as Al Roker himself is a "Junior.").

Radio show segments
''Move this section to talk. Looks like trivia. Discuss and clean before deciding to restore'' RJFJR (talk) 23:47, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Mancow's Morning Madhouse has, over the years, developed a repertoire of daily acts, some of which change frequently, and others that have been discontinued. Among these radio acts are:


 * ADD News: "It takes a minute and gets you up to the minute". A montage of audio clips from various television news sources with the latest headlines in under a minute.
 * The Answer is C: Participants are given a "quiz" where the staff reads out a question with a multiple choice answer of 'A,' 'B,' or 'C.' The answer is always 'C,' and is usually highly sarcastic in content.
 * Baby Song: A clip of a popular song is played on a glockenspiel. Callers try and guess the song.
 * Bob Noxious: A candid audio recording is played of a man saying offensive things on a street setting and people's shocked responses.
 * Chop Song-ee: A contest where segments of a popular song are played backwards and callers can try and guess the song. This act is accompanies by a satirical impression of a Chinese man, complete with fake karate sounds in the background.
 * Christopher Walken Theater: A staff member performing an over-the-top, satirical impression of actor Christopher Walken reads lines from a movie, and then has callers try to guess the movie.
 * Cowboy Ray's Time Capsule: A contest where Cowboy Ray lists a number of events from a certain year. Callers try and guess the year.
 * Chuck Norris Facts: The staff reads from a list of hyperbolic praises of actor Chuck Norris.
 * Death Psychic: A fake psychic would come on the air, and claim to predict how people die. Later on, this was turned into the car psychic.
 * The Dirty: Mancow's entertainment and gossip report. Hosted by Marissa Sanchez and previously, Ryan, the Gay Mexican.
 * Drunk Chick Friday: Muller invites a group of (supposedly) attractive women to visit the studio on Friday mornings, who then become highly intoxicated and obnoxious as the show progresses. This bit was inspired by Lex and Terry's "Drunk Bitch Friday," as well as Howard Stern.
 * Fact or Schiznit: The staff reads unusual items and offers prizes to callers who can distinguish between the true and false items.
 * 'Humm job: It could be a song, a commercial, perhaps a repetitive song in a video game. The idea was that if you heard something repetitive it would be stuck in your head all day long.
 * Jimmy D., Sports Philosopher: Comedic sports commentary reportedly performed by current late night TV talk host, Jimmy Kimmel.
 * Kiss the Mancow: A member of the Mancow militia speaks as Gene Simmons of KISS and reads the words to a song in an identical voice of Simmons.  Listeners call in and guess the correct song.
 * Letters to Turd: People would write in, asking turd a question, and he'd answer them in his own stupid way.
 * Mancow Mystery Movie: A quote/phrase from a movie is played and callers must try and guess the name of the movie.
 * Music News: A daily music news report delivered by DJ Crazy Lips.
 * Mystery Ringtones: Mancow plays a ringtone from a cellphone on the air, and callers try to identify what song it is from, usually from popular culture or 80s/90s music.
 * On the Streets: Mancow's on-the-streets report, usually delivered by DJ Crazy Lips or an intern. A parody of a topical news 'street' poll segment.
 * One Minute Inside a Woman's Head: A segment devoted to the thoughts and ponderings of a typical woman about everyday life, from her boyfriend, Jimmy, to skin cancer, to cosmetics, to her mother and so on. It has also been done as One Minute Inside a Man's Head.
 * Mancow minions: Fans calling other radio shows and messing with them
 * Phone Scams: The term the show uses to describe prank calls. Typically, the show broadcasts the prank calls ten minutes after the hour.
 * Reality Bites: An update of happenings on all currently-airing reality television shows, delivered by DJ Luv Cheese.
 * The Rose Report: Featuring the latest in news and gossip from the entertainment business hosted by Shannon Rose.
 * Skid Theater: The staff pays homeless Chicagoans to act out scenes from movies, and then holds a contest for listeners to name the movie.
 * Sports With Al Roker, Jr.: The show's sports news segment, delivered by Al Roker, Jr. The segment always opens with the line, "Open wide for Chunky...," and always ends with the catchphrase, "Kiss my black ass if you don't like it."
 * Street Life: Freak interviews homeless people on the street.
 * Tales from the Crib: Al Roker, Jr. opens by saying, "Tell me why you hate white people", followed by a black person's response.
 * They want our jobs, but they suck: Clips from other radio shows that are really bad in comparison
 * Vintage Video Game: A track is played off a retro video game system (such as Arcade, Sega Genesis, or Nintendo) and callers must try and guess the name of the video game

Running jokes
''Move this section to talk. Looks like trivia. Discuss and clean before deciding to restore'' RJFJR (talk) 23:47, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Muller's wife is considerably younger than he is, and both staff members and callers often try to get in a dig at his expense. Before his marriage, when Muller pondered where to hold the reception, Turd sarcastically suggested Chuck E. Cheese. After his marriage, when he complained his wife couldn't cook, a caller managed to say the following before being cut off: "Well, Mancow, in a few years, when your wife goes to high school, they have this class called home-ec."
 * Turd is considered by other staff members to be an alcoholic, so the others try to find ways to stop him from drinking, such as looking for booze so disgusting that he couldn't consume it.
 * Freak was constantly teased about being gay, often his soundbites spliced into the song "take you to a gay bar."
 * Sometimes, Turd will start to tell a story, only to be stopped by Muller, who reveals that the "story" is actually ripped off of a popular movie, fairy tale, or television show (in this sense, it resembles numerous comedic acts, such as those on Late Night with Conan O'Brien). The show then invariably plays an audio loop which involves Muller slapping Turd. Sometimes this audio loop includes music from the movie Kill Bill.
 * Callers and staff members alike call Turd's mother a whore, which invariably elicits the response "My mom is not a whore!"
 * Philthy Gumz, DJ Luv Cheez, Al Roker, Jr. and DJ Crazy Lipz are all members of 40 Records, the fictitious rap label well known for hits like, "Bounce That Stack," "Sip Sip," and "The Luvcheez Anthem."
 * Al Roker, Jr. an obese African American plays to the stereotype that all black men want sex with white women. The words "white women" have become somewhat of his catchphrase; he uses them even in his reporting outside of the morning show.
 * Any time the name Menominee or the word phenomena is mentioned, or any other such word that sounds like those, the background crew members respond with a "Do-do do-do-do" tune. This is a reference to the famous song "Mah Nà Mah Nà" regularly played on Sesame Street.
 * Thomas West, the owner of a hair salon next door to Muller's studio, is a recurring victim of pranks from Muller, his staff, and his celebrity guests. Most of the prank calls typically involve questioning West's heterosexuality and making obscene business propositions.  West's catchphrase "I'm going to put you through the frickin' window!" stems from his initial response to the phone calls.
 * More recently, when Mancow says the phrase Morning Radio (usually after telling a self-admittedly bad joke or pun), the entire staff responds with "It sucks!"
 * When a caller addresses Muller as "you crazy bastard", Muller responds by saying "you son of a bitch."
 * Muller constantly insults the city of Joliet, Illinois (located south of Chicago), with snide remarks and insults calling it "Joilet", to the point of creating a mock folk song, "The Joliet Big Trash Mountain." When listeners from outside the Chicago or Illinois area call, he often tries to trick them by claiming that folk song is a "famous" song that's been around for decades (although the show created it less than a decade ago). It is sung to the tune of "Big Rock Candy Mountain", which is a famous song, that's been around for decades.

There was a Mancow TV show on WCIU 26 in 1999
