America’s top ten local talk show hosts: #6 – Mandy Connell/Louisville

Mandy Connell
84 WHAS/Louisville
Monday-Friday 9-noon EDT

We continue our Top 10 Countdown with #6 today We resume with #5 on Monday.

We asked Mandy to describe her show and she said, “My show is a snarky commentary on politics with healthy doses of Real Housewives of Anywhere updates. My strongest suit is drawing parallels between two seemingly unconnected things to drive a point home in a unique way. I’m conservative, but a lot of liberal progressives listen to the show, which I take as a compliment … I’m nice to people in the business because you never know when someone who used to be an intern will wind up program director at the station you are dying to work for. Well, I’m nice in general, but especially because of that.”

If we were you, Mandy, we’d start being very nice to Robin Bertolucci, the programming genius at KFI/Los Angeles. She’s a very important person.

Here’s Mandy taking a whack at people who take smoke breaks at work:

And here’s Ms. Connell on the subject of Medicaid fraud:
