MancowEric "Mancow" Muller is a United States radio and television personality. Early life Mancow attended Central Missouri State University and received a Theatre degree in 1990. His career in radio began on the morning show, Holy Moly & Maxx, for station KMOK in Kansas City. Notoriety In 1993, Mancow made national headlines while working for radio station KYLD-FM in California. At the time, former President Clinton had tied up traffic on an LAX runway for over an hour because of a haircut on Air Force One. Mancow staged a parody of this incident on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge during rush hour. He used vans to block the westbound lanes of the bridge while his sidekick, Jesus "Chuy" Gomez, got a haircut. As a result of this publicity stunt, Mancow was prosecuted and given three years probation, fined $500, and ordered by a San Francisco Municipal Court judge to perform 100 hours of community service. The radio station eventually paid $1.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a bridge commuter. Lawsuits Mancow spear-headed two major lawsuits: one against the antics of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and his disrespectful behavior towards fans at a radio concert in Chicago, and another suit against a man who reported Mancow to the FCC for alleged indecency on the air, which Mancow cites as totally unfounded. Mancow has recently withdrawn his second lawsuit because it was a publicity stunt. Radio show Mancow's radio program, Mancow's Morning Madhouse is heard from 5:30-10am (CST) in eight nationwide radio markets. He is also the author of the book, Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf (Regan Books, 2003). See also External link Mancow
