Former 97.9 WJLB and “Hot 107.5” WGPR morning host Foolish is joining Beasley Media Rhythmic Throwback “105.1 The Bounce” WMGC Detroit.
The newly reminted “Bigg & Foolish” debuted today as Foolish joined incumbent hosts Bigg (formerly Big Boy & Chunky) and Shay Shay. The local comedian has spent seventeen years in Detroit radio.
Beasley Media Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBGI) announces Foolish (also known as) F.raw will join BIGG in the Morning on 105.1 The Bounce as one of its newest on-air Ambassadors beginning on Wednesday, July 5th at 6am.
Detroit’s Throwback Hip Hop and R & B station began rolling out on air “Ambassadors” in December of 2016, mixing long time area radio favorites with a few new names who have moved to the Motor City.
“It’s our honor to add one of Detroit’s brightest stars to the line-up of Bounce Ambassadors and welcome Foolish into the studio every morning, alongside Bigg, Shay Shay and the rest of the cast of the all new Bigg and Foolish in the Morning,” said 105.1 The Bounce Program Director Al Payne.
“That’s my job… making people laugh,” said Foolish. “Who’s next Detroit?”
“Foolish is going to be so fun to have in the studio with us all in the morning,” said 105.1 The Bounce Morning Show Host BIGG. “I’m a big fan of his personally, and I know Detroit loves him as well. This is going to make coming to work even more fun, which I didn’t think was even possible! Watch out Detroit, BiGG and Foolish in the Morning is now a thing!”
“I grew up listening and laughing to Foolish,” said Morning Show Co- Host Shay Shay. “It will be great to wake up Detroit with him every morning.”
The Detroit native, whose footprint expands across all forms of entertainment, started his comedy career on B.E.T.’s ground-breaking series, Comic View, followed by an extraordinary 17 years of hilarious comedy on radio in the morning in the Motor City.
The radio veteran continues to tour the nation with actors and actresses doing various plays and concerts, along with headlining events for fundraising organizations. In addition, he continues to pioneer educational movements in the City of Detroit.
According Foolish, his proudest accomplishment is being a father to his beautiful daughter, who laughs every day!
