Erich "Mancow" Muller is the host of Mancow's Morning Madhouse, a Chicago-based radio show that is syndicated all around the United States, including here in San Francisco on KTRB 860.

Mancow made headlines back in 1993 while working for a San Francisco Bay area radio station. At the time, then-President Clinton had tied up traffic on an LAX runway for over an hour because of a haircut on Air Force One. Mancow staged a parody of this incident on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge during rush hour. He used vans to block the westbound lanes of the bridge while his sidekick, Jesus "Chuy" Gomez, got a haircut. As a result of this publicity stunt, Mancow was prosecuted and given three years probation, fined $500, and ordered by a San Francisco Municipal Court judge to perform 100 hours of community service. The radio station eventually paid $1.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a bridge commuter. Mancow remarked, “I plan to stay off that bridge.” “Now I have a chance to be the foundation of another great Bay Area station,” said Mancow. “There is no place like home.”

 

Listen for his show every weekday from 4am to 6am on KTRB 860.
