THE MOUTH, APRIL 5TH, 2013 –– TRN Syndicated radio host and and Erich "Mancow" Muller and family members will be the subject of a new reality TV show this summer, some of which was filmed on location at his in-laws house in Barrington, IL.

Mancow's mother-in-law, Ena Ferrando of Barrington, says he's a different person off the air — a good-hearted man, a sweet husband, and wonderful father to his 7-year-old twin girls.

Two Shades of Michael Gray; BBC Bid To Phone Sunderland Hero About O'Neill Sacking Is Epic Fail
THE MOUTH, APRIL 4TH, 2013 –– Sunderland's decision to sack manager Martin O'Neill on Saturday evening lead to red faces at BBC Radio 5 Live - as their attempts to get reaction to the decision backfired spectacularly. A perplexed student with the same name as the former Black Cats defender found himself speaking to the nation on 5 Live about manager's sacking. The station's late-night Stephen Nolan show thought they had lined up a chat with former Sunderland defender Michael Gray to discuss O'Neill's firing and where the relegation-threatened club goes from here. However, they had contacted the wrong Michael Gray. Instead of the north-east-accented former England international, they had got hold of Michael Gray, a student and writer from Glasgow - and unwittingly put him on the air. Gray (the student) later wrote on his blog: "Radio 5 Live called me back to confirm that I would be on the radio in five minutes. I was unsure about going ahead. The feedback from friends on Facebook included helpful advice such as, ‘This is hilarious’, ‘Surely they’ll cut you off’ and ‘Do it in a Sunderland accent!”
Vaughan Scorn - Denise Van Outen: It was a strain with former Big Breakfast pal Johnny Vaughan on radio show
Denise claimed last year that Johnny used to “fade her microphone down” on their Capital FM show. Denise Van Outen has hit back at Johnny Vaughan and insisted their relationship while they were radio co-hosts was “strained”. Denise claimed last year that Johnny used to “fade her microphone down” on the Capital FM show when she joined in 2008. She quit just six months later – halfway through her contract - and was replaced by Lisa Snowdon. Earlier this month, Johnny expressed disbelief that Denise had found their working partnership hard. They were known for their on-screen chemistry on The Big Breakfast on Channel 4. Johnny, 46, said: “It must be humour. She must be taking the p***. Anyone who has ever known me in radio knows that I can’t operate any of the machines. I owe her pretty much everything. Big Breakfast did everything for me."
But Denise is sticking by her claims. She said: “It was a very strained relationship at the time, for whatever reason. I’m not joking. It just wasn’t the relationship we had previously on TV. It was a very different and strained environment.”

I don’t know what aspect of that you’re applauding, but thank you. ... So now he’s out again, but going out on top. So congratulations to Jay, a job well done. ... But good luck to Jay. I know he’ll be out on the road, getting it done and taking care of business and congratulations on a nice long run there at the ‘Tonight Show,’ if in fact you’re not coming back.” PHOTO: Andrew Eccles/NBC - WATCH VIDEO HERE
RUMOR: Seth Myers Top Contender To Follow Fallon On 'Late Night'
THE MOUTH, APRIL 4TH, 2013 –– Now that Jimmy Fallon's move to "The Tonight Show," to follow Jay Leno has been announced, the question now swirling is who will follow him on 'Late Night?" The L.A. Times wrote that SNL's Seth Myers is rumored to be a top contender and given his New York base and lead writing ranks on SNL and ties to Lorne Michaels, that seems logical. Other names mentioned include fellow SNL cast member, John Mulaney, Chelsea Handler and Andy Cohen. Although the later, already host Bravo's “Watch What Happens Live” and its unlikely Bravo would let that happen. LA Times Meredith Blake joked "Since we’re just speculating wildly here: How about Anderson Cooper? He is reported to be in the running to replace Matt Lauer at “Today,” but who really wants to get up that early?" On a hunch, we'll go with Seth Meyers, but only time will tell. We'll save the other question of who follows Fallon on "The Tonight Show" should Jimmy Kimmel prove to much of a challenge.
