94 WYSP's Kidd Chris fired over guest's racist parody song

94 WYSP morning host Kidd Chris has been fired over a racist song performed by an in-studio guest in March. WYSP program director John Cook also lost his job over the fallout from the song "Schwoogies," sung to the tune of Blondie's "Call Me," that was performed March 21 in studio by a guest named Lady Gash.

"We found the song to be highly offensive and completely inappropriate for broadcast on our airwaves. When senior management of the station learned that it had been played, they took immediate steps to prevent it from ever appearing on the station again," CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo told us moments ago. "At the same time, we launched an extensive internal investigation into the situation including a thorough review of the editorial controls and systems we have in place to prevent this type of content from airing. We instituted additional educational training for the station, and have taken appropriate disciplinary action, including termination of the individuals involved." Mateo declined to comment on whether Kidd Chris would be paid out the life of his contract, which was to last another three years.

The song was also aired several more times that day and at least once March 24. It was also captured by listeners and put on websites as well as a clip appearing on YouTube. It was also linked on Lady Gash's MySpace page, which has since been removed. When we checked this morning, the YouTube link to the clip said the material had been pulled down by request of CBS Broadcasting. Before the clips disappeared, a Daily News reader, transcribed the lyrics to the best of his ability. Be aware that the following passage contains material that may be offensive to some readers...

"Coloreds steal your wallets and coloreds have pink feet. Coloreds are loud and obnoxious, when they watch movies. Sticky fingers, what they are, Always try to jack my car, Schwoogies! Or shines, you can call them anything you like. Schwoogies! Watch out, jigs will rob you, day or night. Schwoogies. Mookie doesn't like to work, Just rolls blunts all day long. But there's one job he can do, hold a lantern on my lawn. If someone else has your watch on, you can bet its a moolignon. Shwoogies! All Around, there's Sambos, monkeys, knuckle draggers, So much brown Mandingo, Go Mr. Bojangles (unintelligible). I have no problem singing about the Negroes."

Calls and text messages sent to Kidd Chris this morning were not returned. His agent Bob Eatman also did not immediately return a message left at his Los Angeles office. Chris was to celebrate his birthday tonight with a party at Whiskey Tango (Philmont & Bustleton). Porn starlet Mary Carey was among expected guests.

I like that they just now give him the boot over a song that happened in March. A stupid, unfunny song.

I can't believe a Lady Gash song got Chris fired. :mad:

He wouldn't because it isn't even mildly funny.

You have to be pretty fucking stupid to put a racist song like that on in Philly. I'm not sure of the actual racial numbers, but there are a TON of black people here.

Wow this is either BIG news for us or it means nothing. Im sure it will be a huge paycut for him to come over to Sirius. Lets wait and see what happens

Howard mornings

Kidd Chris Mid Day

Bubba Afternoons

Scotty Nights.

looks like a great line up for the channels.
Froggy
There is an opening on H101 Fridays

He has a three year contract. They buy him out, he has to sit out the rest of the contract. He won't be on Sirius any time soon. They don't pay shit anyway.

Bad News. Hope this doesn't grease the way to come to Sirius with his band of merry, chortling crew members. The non-stop laughing and guffawing noisemakers results in incoherent chaos for a listener.

Hope he isn't added as some of the promised 'new content' to spackle programming holes for Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Kidd should do an extended WUS everyday, enough with ASS KISS DUO of Jon and Gary and a Friday Morning Show.

It's "Morning Zoo" like. I'd be willing to give it a shot over Bubba though, that's for sure.
superman1983
Sucks he got fired but this is great news for anyone who has listened to Kidd Chris.

Would be great to hear him on middays or even on fridays.


When the merger finally goes through, there will be plenty of money to toss around to whoever. My guess is things will be pushed back until something there happens.

I suppose so. It's like being asked whether you'd rather have your hand or your foot chopped off.


After hearing the 'Sulu' song a coupla years ago, I listened in quite a lot. Levy used to make a lot of appearances, and those shows I really liked. Otherwise... hand or foot?

Yeah, he did the Sulu Dance song and also had the Iron Shiek in about 4 years ago, long before Howard did.

Correct... Nothing like morning zoo.

This would be great if it happened, I just think they'll hold off until the merger goes through.

There will be plenty of channels and money then to offer around. It is basically the excuse that Bubba ended up mentioning in regards to his contract and only signing a 1 year deal. (I can live without Bubba personally if it came down to it but see the value because he clearly has a fan base)


They gotta get Kidd Chris around though. he fits in perfect with Howard and the whole crew. Imo, where Chris is better is with all the comics. They are all great on Chris' show.

this really does SUCK. The few times I put Terrestrial radio on, it's to listen to him. He's my saving grace on Fridays.

Suits are aholes. Poor Chris getting stuck in the middle of all this. :fuckyou:

Even more mad his birthday party is canceled for tonite.

Hmmm, I bet once the dust settles he winds up on Sirius. A few days a month I have to drive a company truck that doesn't have Sirius and Kidd Chris is the only thing remotely funny on terrestrial radio in Philly. I happened to be listening the day they aired that bit and thought that WYSP had really changed since they were allowing it. I won't say it was all that funny more like watching a train derail every time they played it. Funny how it took two months for corporate to react to it!
Mutt
is his BDay party canceled?
Yetichi
lots of us got hotel rooms for tonight so we are stuck with them cause it was done online. so we are still going down anyway.

Yes. :(

yes mutt....the recording started playing around 5:30am or so from what i was told. but the announcement says the party has been "postponed". so who knows if that dan gross story is even 100% accurate.

he was fired for something done in March? way to be on top of things.

when was his last day? I haven't listened the last two days.

PHILADELPHIA -- May 16, 2008: CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer that morning host Kidd Chris and PD John Cook have been fired over a parody song called "Schwoogies," to the tune of Blondie's "Call Me," that was performed by an in-studio guest and aired several times on March 21 and 24. The song, by a guest named Lady Gash, contained strikingly racist lyrics, with frequent references to "coloreds."

"We found the song to be highly offensive and completely inappropriate for broadcast on our airwaves," Mateo told the Inquirer "When senior management of the station learned that it had been played, they took again." After an internal investigation and review of the station's "editorial controls and systems we have in place to prevent this type of content from airing," she said, the station has added more educational training and CBS fired "the individuals involved."

Kidd Chris, whose pages have been removed from the WYSP website, joined the station in September for afternoons and was moved up to mornings when Opie & Anthony were dropped late last year.

Trim the fat at Siruis, sal, richard, captain alien, jay thomas....etc... Free up some extra cash and bring Kidd Chris on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Kidd Chris would be an awesome addition to the H100 101 line up.

ivarr, if you love howard, then you will definitely like kidd chris.

the Lurch guy is hilarious....in a JD kind of way....just one of many funny aspects of the Kidd Chris show.
Cheri
It was PLENTY like morning zoo. You had Thomas and various "wacky" others like Brad the Cripple making phony phone calls, cackling, and "hilarious" stunts like dressing someone up like Santa, sending them to the shoe department of Wal-Mart and announcing over the loudspeaker that Santa was in the shoe department offering to let people sit on his lap for a dollar.

Although the one thing they did where they got on the conference call with the finance consultants and were all yelling out things was pretty good. If anyone gets a chance to listen to it, do so.
Bartjr
He would fit in great on 101 mid-day.

Too bad - I liked Kidd Chriss. Come to Sirius, my man!

The Kidd Chris party has been moved to Bob's club in Levittown tonight.

Mary Carey will be there along with Bob, Blake from Sales, Geno Bisconte.

Mention Kidd Chris and get in for 10 bucks.

Call 215-945-Levy for info and tickets

Why hold the party tonight? Might be better off holding it next week or something so people have some time to plan to get down there.

They had people fly here for this specific event. They have close freinds of the show such as Open mike, Marey Carey and the Cripples that would normally not be in town. They need to hold this party tonight. Even though everyones going to be depressed..


Any word if Kidd Chris will show up?

I think some of the guys that said they were going earlier in this thread said the rooms were already booked wherever they were staying and they can't cancel with this kind of notice. Were there any comedians booked tonight at Levy's? I drive by the sign every day but didn't happen to see for tonight.

Terrestrial is hurting for ANY talent they can find so I bet he gets hired by another group (and then subsequently fired).

I don't know his show but I'd like to hear him do something on Fridays on SIRIUS.

FRIDAY FRIDAY

Well no matter what, it's a lame way to fire someone, and I'm sorry that he lost his job. I hope everyone enjoys the party tonight

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Chris can't afford $200 a week like others on the station. They should do whatever needed to get him. they need fresh content.

HenrysCucumber
Kidd Chris is a pretty talented guy, but the bottom line is that he should have worked smarter. Look at the lyrics to that song. Sure, there's free speech but you can't put that on the air on testicular radio and expect to get away with it, even if it was done by a "character" or guest. I'm not a fan of CBS (worked for them on 2 different occasions), but I don't see any way around their choice.

dirtmaggert
Chris is not going to end up at Sirius for multiple reasons. he will wind up taking some time off(maybe 6 months) till things cool down and take a job in another city/market.

the only option in Philly would be 93.3 being that they are similar to WYSP. the funny part would be if WMMR offered him a job and he went on after those two suckasses, Preston & Steve.

I wonder what impact this will have on Bubba's contract. If Kidd Chris is willing to take what Bubba makes it will be tougher for Bubba to get the bigger contract he wants in order to stay at Siri
