Personal
Segal was born in Canada but grew up in Houston, Texas. He is married to wife Jacquie, and has two sons (born in February 2004 and in August 2006). He maintains a relationship with his mother, but doesn't seem to like her very much, as he frequently makes disparaging remarks about her and resists contact. Segal also suffers from lupus, but apparently not a serious case. Segal also has a serious case of flatulence, he tends to take care of it while on the air. He had an American Bulldog named Molson, who was put down after a long illness in June 2007. Molson's name was likely a nod to Segal's Canadian heritage. In 2008 he adopted a 150 lb. Great Dane named Deuce who is now taller than him. His wife will not let the dog sleep in bed with them. In keeping with his roots, he also loves hockey, Wayne Gretzky, and Alexander Ovechkin. He's also a season ticket holder to the Washington Capitals. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity while in college at Houston Baptist University.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“I am in no boastful mood. I shall not do more than I can, and I shall do all I can to save the government, which is my sworn duty as well as my personal inclination. I shall do nothing in malice. What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
