The Tim Conway Jr. Show is a weeknight talk radio program, currently web streaming and broadcasting throughout the Los Angeles County and Orange County, California metropolitan areas at KFI AM 640. The show runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pacific Time and is hosted by Tim Conway, Jr.
Conway rose to popularity as a longtime host on former FM talk station KLSX, first teamed with Doug Steckler who was followed as co-host by Brian Whitman. After the 2008 departure of Whitman, Conway hosted solo rather than adopting a new co-host. On February 19, 2009, both Whitman and Steckler were special guests on Conway's last show before KLSX flipped the format to Top-40.
Show host[]
Tim Conway, Jr. is the son of the late American television and film comedian Tim Conway, and then wife Mary Ann. Tim Conway, Jr. resides in Burbank, California with his wife. [1]
KFI[]
Conway's weeknight show at KFI began on Monday, January 18, 2010, after Bryan Suits, who previously hosted the show at that time slot, decided to move back to Seattle. In line with the majority of KFI's programming, Conway discusses political topics, leaning hard towards the right with a comical libertarian slant. Through July 17, 2015, on Friday nights, Conway was joined by comedian/writer Doug Steckler, his former co-host on KLSX.[2] On Tuesday nights Conway is joined by Mark Thompson. Conway often jokes about his costly love of gambling, especially his (usually) losing bets on the horses. He also retrospectively claims to have said, done, or is currently doing things, he has never actually done, in a completely believable manner.
Thursday nights from 7-8pm used to be reserved for Conway's game show, What the Hell Did Jesse Jackson Say?, in which the host plays mostly unintelligible sound bites of Jesse Jackson and listeners call in to guess what Jackson is saying. The Conway Show stopped playing the game in 2017.[citation needed]
Catchphrases include:
"DING-DONG!" "What the H!" "Ohhh Bubboo" "Nice tomatoes" "You am right" "Very good" "Right on!" "I like the food. I like the prices." "What up, everybody?!"
The show's opening song is The Less I Know the Better by Tame Impala. Secondary opening is a rendition of "Timmy Time" featuring Petros Papadakis.
On May 25, 2021, Conway, Jr., and his producer, Sheron Bellio, were suspended for a skit that used racist stereotypes of Asian Americans during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. [3]
Other Programs[]
Conway co-hosted a weekly computer and technology show, Make It Work, with Jeremy Anticouni on KSFO Hot Talk AM 560 in San Francisco with Make It Work co-founder Jeremy Anticouni. Prior to accepting his current gig on KFI, Anticouni and Conway co-hosted Tech News, powered by Make It Work which aired weekly on KNX 1070. Conway also co-hosted Mortgage Matters with Dave Hardin of Covenant Mortgage about real estate finance on KFWB and KFMB.
