Early in my career, I lucked into having a tremendous mentor in the great Howard Clark.
My early, feeble attempts to “entertain” were a litany of way-too-long setups for what usually proved to be pretty lame punch lines.
I’ve written about Howard before. He was a brilliant talent who could just drop in a comment over a song intro that could make you laugh out loud in less than ten seconds. He was the best, most concisely funny person I ever heard on the air.
Howard embodied what I consider to be the definition of greatness: He made you turn the radio UP when he spoke.
If you’ve got that, you don’t have to worry about your ratings.
