Bob and The Showgram - Previous Hosts and Interns

Previous Hosts and Interns

Mike Stiles was the original co-host with Bob Dumas. At the time, the show was called "The Bob and Mike Show." In the mid nineties Mike was replaced with Madison Lane. The show was renamed "The Showgram with Bob and Madison." Madison then left G105 in 2004 for another Raleigh/Clear Channel station, WRSN-FM Sunny 93.9. She reportedly left over creative differences with Bob Dumas. Mike Morse, Amy Bristol, Kristin Klingshirn (aka "Kentucky Kristin"), and Erica DeLong have been all been cohosts since that time. It has been said Bristol was released also due to creative differences with Dumas.

The show also features a number of broadcast interns who have come and gone over the course of the production. In 1999 Mark Kaye was the producer alongside John "Big Flash" Hartnett. Mark Kaye is now morning-drive host at WAPE in Jacksonville, Florida. During the following year the Showgram was known for numerous stunts and on air gimmicks which led them to being the #1 consecutive morning show in the Raleigh market. Kaye left to host a morning show in Washington D.C. and "Big Flash" was let go due to creative changes. Tommy Owen (the original Flash) replaced Kaye after taking a hiatus from the show. After 2 years on the show he left the Showgram to follow a new career path. In 2001, Erica DeLong known on-air as "Erica the Intern" joined the crew, shortly after she was hired as an on-air producer. She was later laid off by the station because of the Early 2000s recession. In early 2006 there was an on-air competition to find a new intern after "Intern Ben" returned to his native Canada. One of the more high-profile interns was referred to as "Racist Rodney" for his typical "that's racist!" reaction to statements made on the show, particularly those made by Dumas. During the middle of 2006, another intern, "Fried Rice," joined the show. He was known for believing that he was a member of the African-American race. Racist Rodney, along with several other African-American members of the show's audience, accepted Fried Rice's self-description as an African-American. Racist Rodney and Fried Rice were best known for sticking together and speaking out for the African-American community, because they were occasionally subjected to racist comments from host Bob Dumas. In January 2007, interns Racist Rodney and Fried Rice left the show in hopes of beginning a career in the hip-hop industry. The summer of 2011 saw the development of popular interns "Peanut Butter" and "Jelly". Peanut Butter was also a semi-finalist in the search for a new co-host that same summer.

On July 21, 2011, it was announced on-air that Kentucky Kristin would be departing the show to take a broadcast position in Atlanta with The Bert Show that provided her with an increase in salary. The other hosts simultaneously announced the beginning of a search for a new female member of the broadcast team. In August the listeners decided to bring back Erica DeLong as the new female Co-host.

On September 19, 2011, it was announced that Jon Clark was no longer part of the Showgram for undisclosed reasons. Bob Dumas stated that it was "part of the business" and not a Showgram thing. Bob has said he will not comment about the incident any further. Fans created a Facebook page to "Bring Back Weird Creepy Jon", but to no avail. Brooke "Peanut Butter" Hoover has since taken over the role that Jon Clark held on the show as producer. Clark has since gone back to his hometown in Virginia. It has been said Clark damaged some station property and lied about committing the act. This information has neither been confirmed or denied.

On July 23, 2012, the Showgram was to return "Live" coming back from vacation, instead "Best of" continued to play. It was confirmed and announced that Executive Producer Mike Morse was no longer part of the Showgram. Morse confirmed he was no longer part of the show on his Facebook page.

On August 13, 2012, BreezeKat became the new Executive Producer of the Showgram. BreezeKat joined the Showgram after being a producer of The Ace & TJ Show for the past five and a half years. After just over 3 months of being on the show and being made to feel generally unwelcome by listeners, as well as co-hosts Bob Dumas, Erica DeLonge and Brooke Hoover, Breeze was asked to be reassigned to another job within the company or let go. On Monday, November 19, 2012, he was terminated. The show has yet to address or acknowledge his departure.
