Jay Mohr: Worst. Radio. Host. Ever.

Like many men between the ages of 25 and 39 I enjoy my daily dose of "The Jungle" - better known as The Jim Rome Show between noon and 3 PM.

However, this week Rome is on vacation and listeners are being subjected to lackluster fill-in hosts. Monday and Tuesday there was Jason Whitlock, who while being dry and often just plain wrong (because college football does need a playoff system!) is at least knowledgable and talks about sports.

Today we were "treated" to actor/"comedian" Jay Mohr (and yes, those quotes are around the word "comedian" on purpose). Mohr himself will say that he is lazy about his hosting duties and was quickly evident when he opened with a news story that broke last Thursday. Yes, the fact that there is a major jock itch outbreak on the USC football team is funny. At least it was funny for about 5 minutes when I heard it Thursday morning.

But I guess if you have the maturity of an eighth-grade boy, then maybe it is still funny. Just like his comparison of the food at Carl's Junior to a dirty diaper. Or describing the sounds that come out of an airport bathroom. Or comparing the PA announcer at the Staple's Center's voice to that of a pedophile. "Pedophiles--you know, they molest children, hilarious!"

Rome's been known to use borderline humor, but that's just it. It's borderline. He never allows fart or butt jokes when he's in studio yet when he's gone and Jay Mohr's hosting it's a free-for-all. You can hear the production crew snickering like 12 year-olds when their eighth-grade hero talks to them about the time his older brother left a bag of flaming dog poo on their elderly neighbor's doorstep.

So how is it that the uninformed, crude and unfunny "Slam Man" get to fill in for Rome? I think we all know. Incriminating photographs.
