According to Billy West, in this quote from the 12/30/05 - 1/5/06 LA Weekly interview, we can all thank Tom C. for ruining the Billy West era on the show.
But when the station pressed West to sign a waiver clearing it of any responsibility for his bits, he decided the time had come to set out on his own.
"The general manager of the station shoved a piece of paper at me stating that I would be personally and financially liable for any court cases brought against the station and told me to sign it," claims West. "That really blew my stack. That's the one reason I won't go on the show or call in to the show. When the GM asked for the paper the next day I told him I left it on his desk. After that show I told Howard I was going Los Angeles to pursue my own career. I hugged him goodbye and that was that. I still have that piece of paper somewhere."
I think both were pulled for moderation... Given yesterday's article about Chaunce and SternFanNetwork, Police taking Stern fanatics Sirius-ly.. I wouldn't want to get into a open flame war here. I blogged about the article, too. Just click my WWW button and go to Monday, Jan. 30th.
On the files, I was nervous about posting clips of unknown origin. How do I know you're Billy West?
Damn that sucks. Billy West was hysterical. But it's always cool to hear him doing voice over like with Ren & Stimpy, knowing he's been on the Stern show. _________________
I saw where over at SFN last week, Mutt had added Chaunce's first name to the censored list. Anytime anyone typed Chaunce, the censor translated it to "human toilet." There's no love lost over there.
