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.

IS LEANN RIMES HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HER CO-STAR?
US Weekly is reporting LeAnn & actor Eddie Cibrian grew close while working together on the Lifetime movie "Northern Lights."  Rimes has been married to Dean Sheremet for 7 years and Cibrian married back in 2001.

 

Idol went country.  Highlights came from Danny Gokey and Matt Guirard who both sang Carrie Underwood songs.  The surprise of the night went to Anoop to took on a Willie Nelson classic "Always on my Mind."  The love it or hate it moment came from Adam Lambert who turned Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" into a rock/indie song.  Randy Travis and Carrie Underwood perform tonight along with Brad Paisley when 1 person will go home.  It's on FOX at 9.  PREDICTION - Scott, Megan or Michael is sent packing


Belinda Carlisle go-goes home on Dancing with the Stars.  Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough are safe to dance another week.  And Jackass star Steve O may have missed Monday after hurting his back, but he'll be back to dance next week.
