Yeah figured that.
I'll have to look for maybe a podcast or something. probably not video.

But as you can see from those LA ones, he was fuking crazy.

He did some Homeless call ins and was giving out Money or would pay for a night at a Motel.
Wish i could remember some.

Jay Thomas arrived at 99X after working at WBSR/Pensacola FL, WAPE/Jacksonville, and WROQ/Charlotte. He was at 99X from 1976 until 1979. While there, he landed a role on TV's "Mork and Mindy" which he filmed in Los Angeles. This resulted in him missing blocks of shows and eventually leaving the station. Jay has always balanced his radio and TV careers sometimes doing both at the same time. As far as radio goes, after 99X he returned to New York at WKTU (92.3) in 1984 and did mornings there before the station changed call letters to WXRK and hired Howard Stern. In 1986 he moved to Los Angeles and had a long run at KPWR. He returned to New York radio to do mornings on WTJM/Jammin' 105 in the late nineties.
