Randy Hames (as Irv Harrigan) co-hosted the last 30 years of the show’s run with his on-air partner and life-long friend Fred Olson (Mac Hudson), and together they forged a new format and broke new ground as an early-morning comedy team, with unprecedented tenure and ratings success.

Over the decades, much misinformation has been written and circulated about how the behind-the-microphone title characters changed and the format was modified, so Hames has meticulously researched the show’s history through endless conversations with its principal players. Houston’s Morning Show carefully chronicles the program’s wild and sometimes wacky twists and turns with wit and accuracy, and it pulls back the curtain so readers can experience for themselves the demands and rewards of anchoring a blockbuster, major-market team show.

From local Texas ownership to CBS, from the fictional Jim Bob Jumpback to Tyrone Tyrone Tyrone, from the original Hudson and Harrigan to the final duo, Hames painstakingly recounts the evolution of one of the most hilarious, iconic and award-winning morning team shows in broadcasting history.  A must read for fans and industry insiders alike, Houston’s Morning Show is a one-of-a-kind, firsthand, fanciful romp through radio’s heyday.
