As he is celebrating forty years on the New York airwaves this week, I thought I would dig through my old reels of off-the-air recordings for a sample of Bob at his best and I stumbled upon this long forgotten exchange with his very talented fellow talk show host Jay Diamond, perhaps the best Reagan impersonator I have ever heard. Jay also treats us to a terrific rendition of Charles Laughton in the part of Sir Wilfred Robards ("Witness For The Prosecution") and another character from his ample stable, "Colonel Otto Von Scherbach". Enjoy!

  • OMG How much Bob Grant do you have? Please post more!!!!

  • Hours and hours. Problem is picking out the best. Maybe I'll do a montage of him signing on with "Let's be heard", blowing callers off, giving the Mario salute and slamming the lid on things at some point, but I just wanted to get something up for his anniversary.

  • you know jay is doing this schtick on the fly no script. bringing bob to tears, he is absolutely brilliant.

  • @MrPoliticon Jay Diamond was taken off the air in ceptember of 2001 after his live interview with a former CIA man who told about the ''hamas'' and ''al-qaida'' training camps in North Carolina.
