Whitaker Marshall III
WKRP in Cincinnati was this proigram about a radio station in a simple Midwestern city and was on for about four years and we still insist the sitcom back in the day were much more entertaining that the reality garbage of today that is gear towards women and may or many not have real ratings of substance. Howard Hessman played Dr Johnny Fever and was typical of DJ music record player son the radio of this day and this was Mr Hessman's most famous and biggest tole in entertainment
despite being a great gold nugget from all signs being an incredible actor and stage hand. Howard Hessman died a couple of weeks ago in his eighties and had all sorts of health complications and problems and whether the lying health fascists labeled this death as another Covid death I did not research at this time. Howard Hessman starred two time sin this WKRP as the series was brought back in the nineties with far fewer of the original cast members and this man was one dude devoted to spinning the tunes and at many times Howard Hessman forgot he was an actor and thought himself as an actual radio disc jockey. I would not be surprised if Hessman would of been willing to srep down and accept a radio gig job if it was offered following his run at WKRP. Why there was not a spin off or a Dr Johnny Fever centrist movie based on this character years later is something I could never understand and maybe its still coming as this man practically carried the show Don't expect alcohol Johnny Fever for a third inception of this classic situational comedy and Hessman is dead at the age of 87.
