KCBS Yankers
Man oh man, how I wish I had heard about this last week. According to Ron Fineman's website, a group of wacky Atlanta DJs crank called KCBS' morning news show, pretending to be Arnold Schwarzenegger.
KCBS for some reason didn't check it out--and put the impersonator on the air! Kent Schocknek and Suzanne Rico conducted an interview with who they thought was Arnie (a really good impersonation, by the way), who was complaining about taxes before letting them know they've been had.
Fineman has the audio on the website, in which Faux Arnie tells Kent and Suzanne, "When they go to bed, people have the fear they're going to be taxed before they go to sleep. And the other thing, is, if you listened to the Regular Guys in Atlanta you'd know that you guys are BEING PRANKED! Ha Ha! I love it!"
Kent then quickly chimes in: "That's what we thought. OK, we've cut off the audio." (Said while you can still clearly hear Faux Arnie laughing.)
I'm suprised stations aren't more vigilant about these pranks. It's not hard to ask for a number to call back, just to make sure it's truly the person in question! Particularly because it's so easy to impersonate Arnie!
