I was always told that Dick Orkin came up with chickenman. Chickenman_(radio_series). He was really good friends with my dad. They worked together on commercials for decades.

I think my dad was on WLS, WDAI, WFYR, and WXRT at different times. WHile he was supposed to DJ he really did a lot of comedy. I only remember his time at WXRT and a tiny bit at WFYR. I think he knew Larry Lujack and Dick Biondi pretty well. I have met both. Of course the highlight of famous people I have met due to my dad is David Bowie whom I met prenatally
