Did you know Glenn Beck, prior to becoming a political radio and tv hack, was a morning radio show hack? Described by Guy Zapoleon, KZZP’s program director as “always desperate for ratings and attention,” Beck also became known for something despicable.

“A couple days after Kelly’s wife, Terry, had a miscarriage, Beck called her live on the air and says, ‘We hear you had a miscarriage,’ ” remembers Brad Miller, a former Y95 DJ and Clear Channel programmer. “When Terry said, ‘Yes,’ Beck proceeded to joke about how Bruce [Kelly] apparently can’t do anything right — about he can’t even have a baby.”

Among those who were appalled by Beck’s prank call was Beck’s own wife, Claire, who had been friends with Kelly’s wife since the two worked together at WPGC.

Later, Beck became fueled by cocaine and alcohol… What a guy.
