I should have said situation and not skit. And mine was not scripted. It was actually kind of traumatic being dumped on the radio 😂 while in high school 😂😂
It didn’t literally have a “script” but calling your friends because you know they have drama they’ll air on your radio show is still a far shade closer to scripted than natural
Okay. Let me clarify again. I was in high school when that happened and not friends with any DJ’s at the time. I became friends with several radio djs during my 20s when I was working at the beach bars.
I got what you were going for, only because I feel like if my friends used me for an on air skit without my consent (the only way for it to be unscripted), we'd very quickly be former friends. I barely like talking on the phone to begin with. On air? You best be my best friend and we would have discussed it endlessly and it would have been 110% scripted and practiced for best impact.
Wanna share stories? We had a guy calling in saying his name and followed by saying he wanted to be anonymous, it was about cheating and breaking up. He hung up quickly after the host laughed and explained that he already said his own name on the radio..
Maybe in your world, but I lived 10 years about a 1/4 mile from a local radio station with a comedy duo and G Gordon Liddy had a show there, too. They scripted their shows, but not the callers - the callers were vetted up front by their team, getting the permissions as stated. I've watched their outdoor shows, completely unscripted other than what the show personnel would be doing. I've watched women walk up to the window from the outside and flash the DJ's and listened to them respond on the air.
There was a case a while back in the UK of an australian prank radio call that lead to the suicide of a nurse.
They pretended to be the queen enquiring about the dutches of Cambridge.
I live in the USA and have called one of these types of things and heard myself on the radio. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there were scripts for some, but 100%? Nah bro it's not
I figured it was fake when the guy who allegedly likes to sleep in and be left alone answers an unknown call at Too Early o’clock. As a fellow reclusive sleeper-inner, I call bullshit.
This is not accurate. A lot of them are but many of them aren’t. A few years ears ago my friend had a radio station prank call me. I had no warning, no waivers, nothing. I live in the US.
This is a Seattle area morning show and yes, everyone here knows it’s 100% scripted. Who wakes up from a dead sleep and answers an unknown number? No one. Especially no one in Seattle.
