Wee Willy Webber… Dr Shock… Kelly Ripa… TONY ROMEO… sorta!
With my OFFICIAL on-air debut this A.M. I join the pantheon of great myphl entertainers! On wphl 17′s new morning show, Better Philly, my lean and mean torso was featured for almost an entire second in b-roll filler!

P.S. Your profile looks great!

NICE!
