History

Kevin and Bean debuted on KROQ on December 31, 1989, when they hosted the annual countdown of the year's best songs. On June 13, 1990, the show aired a segment called "Confess Your Crime", which included a bogus phone call from fellow DJ Doug "The Slug" Roberts (who was then working at KZZP) as an anonymous listener claiming to have committed murder. The parents of a missing woman believed the fictional caller to be responsible for their daughter's death leading to an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and coverage in an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. When the truth was revealed, the station was billed for the costs of the investigation by the LASDcite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,434699~7~0~ajerrylewishoax,00.html|title=Jerry Rigged|publisher=Entertainment Weekly|date=2003-03-19|first=Liane|last=Bonin|accessdate=2006-08-19] , and sued by the distraught parents. KROQ suspended Kevin and Bean for five days without pay, directed each of them to perform 149 hours of community service, and forced them to pay the Sheriff’s bill out of their pockets. The event also became the inspiration behind the 1996 movie "Power 98" starring Eric Roberts.

In March 2003, the show caused international controversy when Ralph made a crank phone call to the office of French president Jacques Chirac while posing as Jerry Lewis. All were surprised when Chirac picked up the phone and began talking to "Jerry". Lewis' lawyers were quick to threaten with lawsuits and the bit has rarely been spoken of since. Though they appear to be under orders not to speak of the matter, Kevin and Bean have made oblique suggestions that Lewis "blackmailed" Kevin and Bean into making a contribution to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the beneficiary of Lewis' annual Labor Day telethon.

In January 2004, a Los Angeles man filed a breach of contract suit against the station and Kevin and Bean saying he was cheated out of a free SUV. [cite web|url=http://www.entertainyourbrain.com/tvnews1120411804.htm|title=TV News 01/12/2004|publisher=Entertain your brain|date=2004-01-12|accessdate=2006-08-19] Though Kevin and Bean do not address specific lawsuits on the air, they often refer to being sued frequently, usually in the context of people not understanding or appeciating their attempts at humor.

In August 2007, a listener e-mailed a complaint to Kevin and Bean as well as put an article in The Advocate Magazine (Gay & Lesbian Magazine). The complaint was about a parody that Psycho Mike of the Kevin and Bean show did titled "Lean Like a Homo", and was made to make fun of Down's "Lean like a Cholo".

Other cast members and key staff

Also on the show are:
*Ralph Garman — The Man of 1,000 Voices (Bush, Gore, Cruise, Pacino, Michael Jackson, the Pope, Jerry Lewis, Criss Angel and Dylan, to name a few). He handles entertainment news segments and often acts as a substitute when Kevin or Bean is not present. He is also known to unleash bitter rants aimed at Kevin, Bean, 7-Eleven coffee lids, random celebrity stupidity, country music, and Joan freakin' Rivers. A recurring joke at Ralph's expense refers to his spending nearly 2 months filming "Two for the Money" with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey, only to have all but a few minutes of screen time cut from the movie. He is a Philadelphia native and a rabid Philadelphia Eagles fan. Ralph collects memorabilia from the hit television series Batman, and says he would display Adam West in a glass case in his home if he could.
*Lisa May — Ostensibly the traffic reporter [cite web|url=http://www.titanmag.com/spotlights/may.html|title=Straight Man: Lisa May trades barbs with Kevin & Bean on KROQ-FM|publisher=Titan Magazine of Cal State Fullerton|accessdate=2006-10-13|first=Laurie|last=McLaughlin] , Lisa May chimes in during most of the segments, offering a female point of view, and is often the voice of reason. A good sport, she is not above putting her own foibles under the microscope and providing a focal point for the recurring game "Lick Lisa." A running joke on the show involves Kevin and Bean trying to offer other hot women the job of traffic reporter. Lisa has appeared on the TV show "Reba" [imdb title|id=0683938|title=Reba] and has done audio looping for the TV show "Alias." She is an avid fan of live theater, and tries to sneak in references to the plays she attends, which Kevin and Bean ignore.
*"Psycho Mike" Catherwood — Assistant producer for the show, he frequently stars in man-on-the-street segments as well as outlandish song parodies such as "Hey There Vagina," "Brow Down," and "Lean Like a Homo," each of which has been the subject of controversy. Psycho Mike is also an amateur body builder and a certified personal trainer, and has appeared in several segments educating listeners about exercise and nutrition.
*Dave Sanchez AKA "The King of Mexico" — The show's lethargic assistant producer, he has set the Guinness World Record for constant TV watching twice, only to have his new record voided each time for inconsistent record-keeping. After a station concert or event, stories of Dave's drunken escapades run rampant. He idolizes young female stars such as Mandy Moore and Kristen Bell. Dave is a Los Angeles Clippers fan, even making songs extolling the team. When the Clippers fell short of the playoffs in the 2006-2007 season, he took some heat for his boasting, including a mocking song submitted by a listener. [cite video|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw4JzndRpEY|title=Clippers Suck|quote=My tribute to the King of Mexico's favorite team, the LA Clippers. Thanks to Kevin and Bean for playing it on their show!] Dave is known for the 'No-Game Game,' in which he uses no game to get hot chicks. His recent conquest was Miss Double December 2006, Yasmine.
*DJ Omar Khan — The main DJ of the show who is mostly responsible for all the technical aspects of the show. He has a deep-rooted hatred for Rachael Ray but loves Tim Allen. A running joke has Kevin and Bean (while on remote segments) recount exaggerated stories of acts committed by Omar, only to have him remind Kevin and Bean that he is at the studio. He is also frequently heard laughing in the background whenever phone "interviews" are conducted.
*Alex Warren AKA "Super Whore" — Formerly an assistant producer for the show. She has now been promoted to a full producer of the show.
*Jay "Lightning" Tilles — Formerly a producer of the Kevin and Bean show. He started as an intern of the show. He is now running the KROQ website because of his accomplishments with his video editing. Well known for calling people and forcing them to admit that his annoying AIS insurance saves money.
*Miss Cleo — Formerly an intern, now the new phone screener for the show since Dave took over the Assistant Producer spot. Known for her enormous chest.

Frequent Special Guests

*Petros Papadakis
*Harvey Levin
*Frank Caliendo
*Rich Eisen
*Joe Rogan
*Kevin Smith

Recurring Themes, Characters, & Running Jokes

*"SANTA MONICA!!!!!!" — Started after the John Kilduff "Let's Paint" cable access TV video was aired on Kevin and Bean. Kilduff had a number of crank callers calling in making "Santa Monica" shout-outs. Soon thereafter, Kevin and Bean got their own "Santa Monica" crank caller.
*"What it do, nephew?" — A daily listener call-in segment during the last 10-20 minutes of each day's program during which the best rant/story earns the caller a prize. Formerly known as "What Is Your Deal?", the segment was renamed after a greeting coined by Snoop Dogg and was expanded to include the phrase "what it do, baby boo" to greet Lisa May and female callers.
*"The Hot Bell" — Bean often rings a bell at the mention of an attractive woman's name. The practice extends to when callers specifically greet Lisa May, usually with a suggestive tone. At one point, a children's bicycle bell was used when attractive but underage stars were mentioned, such as the Olsen Twins and Lindsey Lohan. A cowbell is used for larger women like Oprah Winfrey.
* "Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend ...." — Kevin and Bean start and end their Friday shows with a cover of "Don't Bogart Me" by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, sung by the cast. [cite web|url=http://www.kroq-data.com/kevinandbean/faq.asp|title=Kevin and Bean FAQ|publisher=KROQ|quote=What's the name of that Bogart song? Don't Bogart Me by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, available on "Hempilation 2."] For a while, they opened the Monday show with "The Boys Are Back In Town" by the Bus Boys after it was suggested by a listener.
*"Cucamonga Heat" — DJ Omar Khan made a film while in school called "Cucamonga Heat" that is clearly a low-budget film. After being featured in the show, there is an often-played clip of the film featuring a man sitting down in a chair (DJ Omar Khan) ordering a fake drug deal to occur. This clip is usually played (especially by Kevin) during instances where a clip should be played usually as a joke or to signify that the thing being reviewed is bad. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y46MIftOP0c YouTube - Cucamonga Heat ] ]
*"(Random Words) Playing at..." — Whenever a strange combination of words are mentioned randomly throughout the show, Kevin and Bean imply that the previously mentioned words are actually the name of a music group that are "set to play" at an upcoming concert. The comedy is in the combination of random words, usually set up as "," by the way..." This is done to poke fun at the absurdity of band names that Kevin and Bean learn about. One example involves the words "concrete vagina," first mentioned in a bit on February 11, 2008, with Bean stating that "They're playing at Coachella. They're very good."
* "The 909" — The guys often mock the Inland Empire area of Southern California, for its reputation as a haven for meth labs and trailer trash. On one April Fool's Day, the show staged a fake Blink 182 concert in the area as an "apology", sending many 909ers on a frantic search for the bogus event. (It is also rumored/believed that portions of the 909 area code were "re-numbered" to 951 due to Kevin and Bean's constant negative opinion of the area and its inhabitants.)
*"Loquecia" — A feisty African-American hairdresser, voiced by Ralph, who calls in with recaps of reality shows, often pointing out how crazy white people are.
*"Rock Me Amadeus" — Ralph's affinity for the '80s pop song by Falco led to a string of listener-submitted stories that would give Ralph an excuse to play a clip from the song. When that song was eventually "retired", Ralph moved on to classic hits such as "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby, "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant, "Heat of the Moment" by Asia, "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc and, on one occasion, Meat Loaf's "Bat out of Hell".
*"Pedro Guerrero" — Riffing on the over-enunciated way that O.J. Simpson said the ballplayer's name on a 911 tape, the guys never pass a chance to repeat the name and will, at times, pronounce similar sounding names in the same way.
*Karl Malone and "Santa" Karl — Reprised each Christmas season by former cast member Jimmy Kimmel, "Santa" Karl is somewhat of an inside joke for longtime listeners. In this bit, Kimmel takes calls from children, posing as Santa Claus as he might be voiced by basketball player Karl Malone. As the children give him their gift wish lists, "Santa" Karl provides improvised, usually inappropriate responses laced with sexual innuendo and other adult references. This bit originated with Kimmel performing in a traditional Santa Claus voice, but changed during the year he began making fun of Karl Malone's radio program, vowing to perform his entire on-air appearances as an impersonation of Malone.
*"There's always room for J-Lo!" — Although now seldom heard, for several years Ralph made almost daily mentions of Jennifer Lopez in the entertainment news bits, each followed with a lengthy explanation of how, despite the busy schedule and numerous more important stories, they were able to discuss Jennifer because "there's always room for J-Lo."
*The Kevin and Bean Curse — Soon after being interviewed for the show, local athletes or their teams often encounter bad luck, including injuries and losing streaks. One notable victim was then-Dodgers closer Éric Gagné.
*Kevin Breaks Up Bands — Since he reported the break-up of Rage Against the Machine before it was officially announced, Kevin is often blamed for "causing" the break-up, a trend that continued with Blink 182 and Audioslave.
*Every April 1, the show broadcasts a hoax, usually in an attempt to lure fans to events that do not exist (The "Mall of America "West" in Anaheim, a free Blink 182 concert, Ralph's Bachelor Party). They have also broadcast an entire show of Pirate Radio's Shannon in the Morning (a former LA radio show), as well as running the typical Saturday morning show to throw off listeners.
*"Point for Cake" — A once-recurring bit titled "The Burning Question" featured staffers (usually Ralph and Money) debating a pointless topic while Bean would keep score of who was winning the contest. One such debate, "Which is better, cake or pie?" lead to the catch phrases "point for cake" meaning something good and "point for pie" meaning something bad. Soon after the bit ran, a caller claimed that the phrases were being used on the set of The Shield and that guest star Glenn Close started using them herself.
*"Speecy-Spicy Sausage" — When the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" was making news, a parody clip was played in which Psycho Mike voiced both Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in a moment of passion. Part of the clip, which refers to Ledger's member as a "speecy-spicy sausage", caught on as a catch phrase.
*"AFRO Line" — Kevin and Bean's voicemail line, which is (323) 520-AFRO. Callers phone in rants, jokes, puerile noises, and other commentary, which sometimes makes it on the air.
*"Brit Brit and Federleezee" — An impersonation of Britney Spears and her notorious ex-hubby during which Kevin and Bean would mock the latest mishap in their relationship and K-Fed's supposed rap career. Ironically, the spoof rap songs by Psycho Mike as "Federleezee" were far superior to the actual 'music' made by Federline. Following a caller's suggestion that the impersonation was actual done by Ashton Kutcher, Kevin and Bean often credit Kutcher for the other impersonations that Psycho Mike does.
*The Butterball Hotline — Every Thanksgiving, Kevin and Bean call in to get advice from the turkey company, (much to the chagrin of Kevin) often leading to a disastrous, unintentionally funny bit. Bean plays a farmer attempting to get advice from the turkey company on how to kill a turkey with Ralph in the background voicing the turkey in question.
*Lisa May's Gift from QVC — Every year, for Christmas and Lisa May's birthday, Kevin and Bean call QVC and purchase whatever is being shown on television at the moment for Lisa's gift, regardless of the price or usefulness of the product. The gift is always less than desirable, and the cheaper the price, the happier the boys are. [cite web|url=http://www.kevinandbeanarchive.com/audio.php/audio.php?dir=audio/KROQ-%20LISA%20MAY&file=Lisa-2006-06-23-Birthday%20Gift%20Shopping%20On%20QVC.mp3|title=Lisa Birthday Gift Shopping On QVC|publisher=Kevin and Bean archive|date=2006-06-23] [cite web|url=http://www.kevinandbeanarchive.com/audio.php/audio.php?dir=audio/KROQ-%20LISA%20MAY&file=Lisa%20Gets%20Her%20QVC%20Christmas%20Gift-2006-12-13.mp3|title=Lisa Gets Her QVC Christmas Gift|publisher=Kevin and Bean archive|date=2006-12-13] One year, Lisa and Ralph enlisted the services of an actress to play the QVC operator, and tricked Kevin and Bean into thinking they just bought her a high definition TV.
*"Anna?" - A recent, running joke started the day after Anna Nicole Smith was found dead. The joke implies that the "KROQ microphones were there" at the moment of Smith's death, and a recording is played of Smith voicing an intro for the Kevin and Bean Show while walking down a hallway. Suddenly, sounds of Smith falling over are heard, and Producer Lightning, in a deep voice, says, "Anna?" The joke has since been expanded to include Bean's cow("cow?"), Captain America("Captain?"), the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ("Turtle?"), Peter Petrelli calling out the name "Mohinder" from NBC's "Heroes", astronaut Buzz Aldrin and others.
*The Month - Forced to give the date multiple times during a broadcast and due to their making fun of that fact that October was coined as "Rocktober", Kevin and Bean have taken to giving each month a funny and sexually suggestive name. Such names include Va-January, Febru-areola, Mar-chi-ca-bow-wow (patterned after porn music), Aprilingus, May...I see them, Poon (June), Ju-like it in the ass, Ju-like cream in your coffee, Au-Au-Au-AUGUST, Slutember, Rocktober, Blovember, and Double D-cemeber.
*Halloween Spooks - An annual tradition loved by all except Kevin. "Halloween Spooks" is a song performed by 1960's jazz trio, Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross and is loved by the rest of the show except Kevin who complains long and loud about how annoying and stupid the song is. Bean begins October by playing the song in little snippets until Halloween when they will usually play the song in its entirety. The duration of the song will usually include the cast making fun of the odd and unusual vocalizations throughout. The show has created new versions of the song titled "Thanksgiving Cooks" and "Hanukkah Jews" to go along with their respective holidays. Songs for Martin Luther King, Jr., Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, the Chinese New Year, and Leap Day have also been made.

Noted former cast members

The show has been the stepping stone for celebrities such as:
*Jimmy Kimmel got his start as their sports announcer. Annually, he returns to the show to reprise his role as "Santa" Karl, an inappropriately crass Santa Claus character who takes calls from children in the voice of basketball player Karl Malone.
*Adam Carolla would do spots as the cranky Mr. Birchum (who later became a character on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers").
*Matt "Money" Smith, Jimmy's replacement, now does pre-game, post-game, and half-time reports for the Los Angeles Lakers on AM570. He also co-hosts a drive time sports talk show with Petros Papadakis, himself a frequent guest of the Kevin and Bean show, titled "The Petros and Money Show (or PMS)" Monday through Friday from 4-7 on AM570.
*The Virgin Kennedy aka Lisa Kennedy Montgomery a morning show intern who became a KROQ disc jockey and later an MTV veejay.

Other personalities no longer with the show include:

*Big Tad — an overweight and incompetent production assistant, he was fired and rehired by Kevin and Bean several times. He would also drive the KROQ van and give out prizes at various public locations. He was later given a job by Jimmy Kimmel and was seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live several times. Tad later worked on Carolla's radio show.
*Michael "The Maintenance Man" Burton — an actual maintenance man in the building where KROQ had its studios, he came to be an active member of the show, performing man-on-the-street interviews and making public appearances. In the fall of 1995, Burton left the show and filed a wrongful-termination suit charging the station along with Kevin and Bean with racial and religious discrimination. The suit was settled in late 1996. [cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/1008/kroqfaq.html#What%20happened%20to%20Michael%20the%20Maintenance%20Man|title=What happened to Michael the Maintenance Man?|work=The Unofficial KROQ faq|accessdate=2006-08-17] cite web|url=http://oemperor.blogspot.com/2003/11/where-are-they-now-at-laradio.html|title=Where Are They Now at laradio.com|work=Ontario Empblog|date=2003-11-27|accessdate=2006-08-17]
*Paul, The Fifty-Five Year Old Intern (aka Richard Cheese aka Mark Jonathan Davis) — Also known as the World's Oldest Intern, would appear in comedy sketches and was a tireless fan of Frank Sinatra. He sang (badly) in the Sinatra style many times on the show. The gimmick of a middle-aged intern has since been stolen by 91X's Cantore In The Morning, as "Tom, the 47-year-old intern"
*Chet Waterhouse, Sports Reporter — Actually stand-up comedian Jeff Cesario. The character of Waterhouse was a stereotypical bombastic sports reporter who spoke in a mealy-mouthed voice and used rickety metaphors. He was replaced by Jimmy Kimmel.
*Producer Frank (Murphy) on the Realistic Plug 'n' Talk. Frank was once challenged by Kevin & Bean to sell 1,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies for his daughter at morning show events.
*Sports guy Dean - filled in for Matt "money" Smith for a few months in late 2005, then later disappeared from the show without mention. it wasn't until many months later that it was noted that their superiors thought the team did not need a dedicated sports reporter, because of the addition to the production budget.

Television & Film

Over the years, Kevin and Bean have made various forays into other media:

*Kevin and Bean hosted "Godzilla Theater" on KCAL 9 in Los Angeles in the early 90's. It was on after midnight and showed the various Godzilla movies interlaced with witty banter between Kevin & Bean.
*Kevin and Bean hosted an Addams Family Marathon on KCAL 9 in Los Angeles in 1993. They did on the street interviews between classic Addams Family episodes. [cite web|url=mms://kroq.wmod.llnwd.net/a168/o1/kbaudio/kb_bad_tv.asf|format=Windows Media|title=Adams Family Marathon|publisher=KROQ]
*Kevin and Bean were hired by the Fox Network in the early to mid 90's to do voice-overs in between Fox shows. Their radio banter did not translate well in such short segments, and they soon disappeared from that role.
*Kevin and Bean did a short stint on the E! Entertainment Television channel.
*Kevin and Bean were the announcers for the Grammy Awards of 2005. Kevin returned as the solo announcer in 2006 and 2007.
*Both appeared in the 2001 movie Rock Star as interviewers.

Christmas Compilation CDs

Over the years Kevin & Bean have released numerous Christmas related compilation CDs. The compilations consist of skits, bands covering Christmas related songs, and various KROQ personalities. These compilations are usually only available for a short period of time and after that are out of print.

Availability

KROQ is a notoriously low-powered station and listeners in remote areas, or even in particular buildings, often have a difficult time getting clear reception of the show. As a result, listeners have complained for years that Kevin and Bean were not on the Internet. However this changed on February 6, 2006, when KROQ started streaming online. (KROQ also did not have a web site for many years after the Internet became established.)

Kevin and Bean were also broadcast in Fresno, California for several years, but that station began broadcasting the Adam Carolla Show when it started in January 2006.

The show runs from 5:30 to 10:00, weekday mornings. The early hour will often repeat a comedy segment from the day before; segments from early in the show are often replayed a second time later in the show.
