Radio Personality

The Resume

    (September 18, 1958- )
    Birth name was Michael Sorce
    Co-hosted the nationally syndicated 'Don and Mike Show' with Mike O'Meara (1985-2008)

Why he might be annoying:

    He got fired from several early radio jobs for lacking an FCC broadcaster's license.
    He then forged a license.
    He and Mike were sued for $30 million for calling a Baltimore station promotional director a lesbian on the air (1994); the case was settled out of court.
    He and Mike had a long-running feud with Max Baer, Jr., after they mocked Baer's plans to open a Beverly Hills-themed casino.
    He was arrested by undercover police trying to buy cocaine and was sentenced to a year of probation (1995).
    He was convicted of marijuana possession and reckless driving after being pulled over for doing 75 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. His license was suspended for six months and he received another year of probation (1998).
    'The Don and Mike Show' was suspended for two weeks after he twice said 'bullshit' and the expletives went unbleeped (2004).
    He has had trouble finding long-term positions since leaving 'The Don and Mike Show.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He got his first on-air job at age 15.
    He occasionally featured his son Bart as 'Bart, the Weatherman' on 'The Don and Mike Show.'
    Leah Remini was a fan of Don and Mike and got them both bit parts on King of Queens.
    His wife Freda died in a car crash (2005).
    A former frequent caller to Doug and Mike sent him a threatening letter and later pleaded guilty to stalking Don (2007).
