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.

Teen Choice Awards

Miley Cyrus took home a number of surfboards at last years Teen Choice Awards, and tonight may be no different.  She along with Taylor Swift are poised to have a big night.  The awards will be handed out tonight on FOX starting at 8.

Who is Paris Jackson's Dad?

A long time friend of Michael Jackson says he suspects he's Paris Jackson's father.  Mark Lester claims he donated sperm 13 years ago to impregnant Debbie Rowe.  He's even willing to take a paternity test to prove it.

Paula's new job?

Now that Paula Abdul has left American Idol, she's in high demand.  First Nigel Lythgoe wanted her to join So You Think You Can Dance, and now ABC execs want her for Dancing With The Stars.  Who knows what the future holds?

Cocaine Death?

Cocaine could be a contributing factor in the recent death of TV pitchman Billy Mays.  An autopsy report indicated he used cocaine days before he died.
