Used to call into his show when he would open it up to anything you would want to say in 10 seconds.

This was funnier than hell.

Good man. Kept that dopey Hannity in check.

RIP

In a statement this morning, Hannity called Alan Colmes "one of life's most decent, kind and wonderful people you'd ever want to meet."

One out of a handful of liberals I found hard to dislike. Sad news. Rest In Peace.

Yeah, he called it quickies, or Radio Graffiti, I forget which. It was a great segment and I was on many times. Goal was always to make Alan laugh.
He had a tremendous history in NYC Local Radio. Last voice at WNNNNNNNNNNNBC and I believe last voice at WEVD. Great guy, great, entertaining shows. This was when talk radio wasn't Politically based, but was just fun. Was an internet pioneer. Registered alan.com, so you know he was an early adapter. RIP Alan.

It was radio graffiti.
Great show.

American Graffiti. Blast from the past with that radio show. Where I was (El Paso) it came on either right before or right after Rush Limbaugh. Talk about differing viewpoints. Loved the 10 second segment.

RIP

While at Fox, he was considered one of the nicest and respected members of the network.
