Mister Kenneth of Walton and Johnson Show

Been listenin' lately and I think Mister Kenneth is droppin' a few clues.
Sounds like he's got a serious lady friend. Maybe he's tired of the gay life style.
Or did Billy Ed beat his ass enough that Mister Kenneth decided to TRY to go straight?
 
wake up dude -- they are not real people -- they are a 2 person show -- johnson does all the character voices.

WOW! Did not know that, dude.
 
This maybe the most complimentry posting ever on this site!
 
This sounds like an April fool's joke posted earlier this month.

The lisping homosexual, the bigot redneck and the inner-city Black are all done by Johnson?
What does Walton do?
 
Come on! Generally one of the voices you hear on the radio in a two man show, does most of the character voices. Case in point: Hudson and Harrigan. Hudson does the voices while Harrigan plays the straight man. Hudson would play the straight man as well and change quickly to any given 'bit.' (For those of you who do not know what a bit is, it is a comedy routine. ) Now, with the help of digital recording and editing, one can create a multiple voices a whole lot easier than in the past of the 'cutting block.'

Back when I was producer of the H&H show, Harrigan ran the board! He ran it because he wanted to exercise control of what was happening on the air. Plus, he would do it flawlessly. At that time, the only other person to run the board was me. Even with a producer running the board, both of the personailties have a lot to do. Believe me, Walton is working. It doesn't matter if you like them or not. It doesn't matter if you don't like their show. What does matter is that they work together as a team.

Chuck, are we talking about the S&P days of H&H (When Stevens and Pruett were Hudson and Harrigan before the move to 790 as S&P and KILT went country with the new H&H??) I love the way old Jimmy boy could do a lot of the voices....of course both did voices in Star Trots (with Marky baby doing Capt James T Shmirk, commander of the Starship Refrise!)...

If those bas***ds (self policed there but the word is in the dictionary and means child born out of wedlock) at Clear Channel had returned all my property when I was released, I'd still have those tapes...but some jerks kept them and my boss as the time used the company saying "tooo bad...you should not have had personal property on company grounds and its not our fault you didnt get it back........" SOBs (hey thats just an abbreviation there) kept my GLASSES for 2 weeks until I finally got them back........(YES GLASSES, which I legally needed to drive...I almost sued their butts in court on that but I got them back in time....by the time I found a lawyer ready to take CC on for my firing, time limits had run out...but the lawyer said I would have ended up owning half or more of the company.....would not have had to worry about retirement!)

and then there's phil hendrie. no editing, no trickery. just phil, a microphone, a button or two, and some serious imagination.

toooooon
 
So, Walton runs the board and Johnson does the characters. That would explain Walton's angry words early their first morning at Cumulus's studio.
 
CW, I agree that S&P were great as H&H near the end of the Top-40 tenure of KILT. Their time together as H&H was a springboard for the future of the highly successful Stevens & Pruitt. Fred Olson and Randy Hames were teamed together in 1982 as the next set of H&H. Kind of makes it hard to call them 'new' when you consider they have been together for 26 years which makes them the longest set of Hudson & Harrigan.

Fmtooner, the discussion was about morning teams. Hendrie is one man. There is no trickery; it's called entertainment. Hendrie does use an audio editor just like everyone else who puts on a good show. Hendrie is good at what he does and puts on a good show.

Kendro, I can speak for W&J. I can only tell you how H&H did it. The time I spent at KFNC was on the weekends. By that time W&J were doing mornings on KIOL.
