Who Do You Know? on WNCI

by Marie Esselstein

This morning I was listening to the Morning Zoo show on WNCI. I have to say, those guys (and gals) are incredibly funny. This morning however, poor Jimmy seemed to be in quite a slump. He was one grumpy DJ.

The Morning Zoo is in the middle of their annual “Who Do You Know?” contest. The basics of the contest are:

The zoo chooses from among the best.
They call convenience stores from across the nation to see who convenience store clerks would pick as the biggest celebrity.
If your celebrity is chosen, then you win $2000.

In the past the Zoo has had some pretty big celebrities call in, but it tends to be toward the end of the week. The normal number of former Buckeye players hasn’t called in this year either, and being a huge buckeye fan, that seems to be tough on old Jimmy.

On the other hand, the lack of major stars has led to some really funny moments, like this morning when a 1987 county pork queen called in, followed by a high school student who happened to be the sports announcer for his school.

If you happen to know someone, Brad or Angie perhaps, tomorrow morning would be a great time to have them call in. The thrill it would give the DJs over there would be enough to entertain their listeners all morning. And, you could win $2000 for yourself or your favorite charity. If it stays like this though, I’ll be rooting for the pork queen.
