Radio host Phil Hendrie, whose unique show is frequently lauded as one of the most creative things on radio today, apparently is calling it quits.
The L.A.-based Hendrie, syndicated nationwide and heard locally on 570 KLAC-AM, wants to focus on his acting career, Mediaweek reports. He currently stars in NBC's "Teachers." Notes the magazine:
The last live broadcast of The Phil Hendrie Show, syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks (7 to 10 p.m. PST) on more than 100 radio stations, will be June 23.
For 16 years, Hendrie has taken the traditional talk format and turned it on its ear, with scores of characters that call in as if they were real listeners. “It’s time for me to take them from behind the microphone and present them in front of the camera,” said Hendrie.
Hendrie has also supplied voices for animated shows like "King of the Hill" and "Futurama."
