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.

The road to the "American Idol" finale is almost at an end.  Last night, the top 3 took the stage to sing 2 songs - 1 they chose for themselves and 1 chosen by the judges.  Adam scored big on both tunes.  Danny and Kris did well on 1 song but not the other.  1 more goes home tonight on FOX at 9.  The idol polls says it'll be Kris.

 


No one expected Ty Murray to last for 2 weeks - much less 10 - on Dancing With The Stars and last night his time, luck and viewer votes ran out.  The judges commended the cowboy for his dedication, drive and improvement.  That leaves Gilles Marini, Melissa Rykroft & Shawn Johnson to move on to next week's finale.
 



Dolly Parton's life story could soon be coming to a big screen near you.  She's developing an autobiographical film.  She won't be starring in the movie and no word on when it will be out.  Matt in the morning hopes it's a film in 3D

 


BIRTHDAY WISHES TO DARIUS RUCKER OF HOOTING AND THE BLOWFISH.  He turns 43 today
