Here is the what you need to know about Lino Rulli, the host of "The Catholic Guy", on "The Catholic Channel, Sirius 159", Sirius Satellite Radio, from 4-7pm Eastern.

According to his personal website, the following is his biography.

In 2005, he was co-executive producer on "The Last Flagraiser" - a World War II documentary commemorating the 60th anniversary of the famous flag raising on the island of Iwo Jima. The piece aired nationally on CBS stations and won the 2005 Emmy Award, the 2005 Scripps-Howard National Journalism Award, the 2006 National Headliner Grand Award (Best of Show) and the 2006 RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award.

From 1998-2004, Lino was host and executive producer of "Generation Cross". The show originated in Minneapolis, MN, and was broadcast in cities across the country - from California to New York. Lino won back-to-back Emmy awards for Program Host on "Generation Cross".

In March, 2000, Lino was hired at WCCO-TV (the CBS owned and operated station in Minneapolis). As the "Soul Man", he was a reporter focusing on religion, with his unique sense of humor thrown in.

Lino has been written about locally and nationally in The Christian Science Monitor, Electronic Media, National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor, Catholic Digest, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine, and Minnesota Monthly, among others. He has appeared on FOX News, CNN, EWTN, etc...

Lino has a bachelor's degree in communications and a master's degree in theology. He has given talks locally, nationally, and internationally. He has lived in Italy, The Bahamas, and the good ol' United States.

And he's really bad at taking himself this seriously. So lets take a lighter approach to his biography:

Milestones in Lino's Life

October, 1971 Lino Rulli comes into the world, born to entertain. Unfortunately, he has yet to succeed in doing so.

Summer, 1987 Lino joins the circus. (No, seriously. He rode an elephant in a traveling circus: Circus Flora.)

September, 1989 After awkward adolescence...only to be followed by awkward adulthood...Lino attends St. John's University, in Collegeville, Minnesota.

May, 1993 Lino receives bachelor's degree in communications. The university has since tightened its graduation policies.

May, 1995 Lino receives master's degree in theology. The university had not tightened its graduation policies quickly enough.

August, 1995 Lino moves to Nassau, Bahamas and teaches at St. Augustine's College. He is also head coach of the National Champion Boys Soccer team. Oddly enough, Lino has the athleticism of a dead cat...and his players would overcome many obstacles (including their coach) to achieve victory.

August, 1996 Lino moves to Rome, Italy; purchases several pounds of gold jewelry and shirts which only button halfway up the chest. To this day, the amount of gel in his hair shows hints of that glorious past.

May, 1998 After running out of money and creativity, Lino returns to Minnesota and creates a cable television program called "Generation Cross". Originally titled "Lino's Lame TV Show", advertisers encourage a name change. Viewers, however, maintain it was aptly titled.

March, 2000 WCCO-TV (the CBS owned & operated station in Minneapolis, MN) hires Lino as the "Soul Man" - a feature reporter doing stories regarding faith and humor. CBS stock plummets.

October, 2000 Lino wins Emmy award for Program Host. Many television critics say hanging chads likely to blame.

October, 2001 Lino wins his second Emmy award for Program Host. Like Oprah before him, decides to no longer enter for Emmy awards. Paying off the judges had become too expensive.

March, 2002 A monthly magazine in Minnesota - named Minnesota Monthly, appropriately enough - puts Lino at the front of its "Most Eligible Singles" issue. (This needs no punchline; it's just a sad day for Minnesota.)

May, 2004 "Generation Cross" goes off the air, and many tears are shed. They are all tears of joy.

October, 2004 "Lino at Large" radio: the show that launched a thousand "He's got a face for radio" jokes.

February, 2005 Lino is co-executive producer on a World War II documentary aired on CBS stations across the country. CBS stock plummets even further. (Please see March, 2000 for the pre-cursor of that joke)

December, 2005-February, 2006 Lino takes extended trips to Japan, China, and Thailand. He returns without having tried sushi, being succumbed to communism, or getting "the clap". Soon realizes the milestones in his life are getting lamer and lamer...

September, 2006 Lino begins hosting "The Catholic Guy" on Sirius Satellite Radio and moves to New York City. The city's motto "I Love NY" will soon be replaced by "I Hate LR"
