Matt & Polly Wogg in the Morning Minimize

Matt Herkimer

I'm the last of the original Frog squad having been here doing morning since 1988 (With the exception of the first year when I did the 3-7 shift). The reasons I've stayed so (too) long? I love the area, I love country music, I appreciate my beloved co-workers and no one else will hire me.

 My favorite movies are "Casablanca", "Citizen Kane" and anything with the Marx Brothers. Musically I'm all over the board but I do harbor a soft spot for late 80's-early 90's country as in Rosanne Cash, Dwight Yoakam, Mavericks, Kathy Mattea, Rodney Crowell and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

 In my spare time I like to golf, hit the antique stores ( I collect old magazines), work out at the gym, watch classic movies and eat ice cream. I also do a lot of bird-watching but it sounds like a geeky thing to do so I won't mention it.

 My goals include staying at the Frog til they drag me out kicking and screaming, see my daughter marry well and live to see (and utilize) the first effective hair-regrowth treatment. 


 My radio career began in Watertown NY at Froggy 97. From there it was a trip across country from a Froggy station in Ohio and another in Kentucky. I tried being normal at a station in Arizona but I've always been a frog at heart. I was born a loooong time ago in Gananoque Ontario Canada. I've called the US my home since 1995.

In my spare time I love to play golf, when it's not snowing or Texas Hold Em poker. I'm a reality freak. I TIVO everything from Idol to Big Brother.

As far as country music goes, I'm a junkie. I love Keith Urban and Sugarland and enjoy anything with a great message.

Looks like Taylor Swift may have a new man in her life.  Rumors are, she is pretty close to Stephen Barker Liles of the band Love and Theft.  He's also the inspiration for her song "Hey Stephen" on her Fearless album.  The 2 apparently got to know each other when Liles' band opened for Taylor during some of her shows.  Despite the lyrics and secreat messages, both say they are just friends.

 

Dr McDreamy is not just the hottest star on TV - he's the hottest who's EVER been on TV according to an AOL survey.  He beat out George Clooney for the top spot.  Josh Holloway/Sawyer of Lost is #3, Taye Diggs of Private Practice is #4 and Tom Welling of Smallville rounds out the top 5.

 

The holidays aren't the only thing in the air.  Divorce is also going around.  Ivana Trump and her 4th husband are calling it quits after getting married in April.  And Marg Helgenberger of CSI has seperated from her hubby after nearly 20 years of marriage.

 

Madonna and A-Rod are hunting for a love shack according to the New York Post.  In their case, that would be a New York City mansion in the 30 to 60 million dollar range.  And if that's not enough room, they're also scouting beach houses in the Hamptons.

 

The best movies to watch this holiday season.....www.christmasmovies.net says the top 5 this year are Holiday Inn, A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story and topping the list It's a Wonderful Life
