Collette McLafferty named Dr. Blogstein’s new co-host
Collette McLafferty, lead vocalist of edibleRed, can now add co-host of the #1 Most Downloaded Comedy on BlogTalkRadio to her entertainment resume.
This week on the Radio Happy Hour, host Dr. Blogstein dropped to one knee and offered the singer of Hey Ya and Sugar and Spring the co-host position that was abruptly vacated by Dangerous Lee on September 1st.
“I’ve enjoyed every week that you’ve co-hosted with us,” Blogstein began his job offering proposal, “I feel that you have the right attitude, the right energy to be our permanent co-host.”
Then, after a dig at Collette for not owning a television, Blogstein continued, “Would you be the new co-host of the Radio Happy Hour?”
Collete, clearly confused that they were simulating a marriage proposal and not simulating a wedding, responded by saying, “I do,” thus becoming the third co-host in the show’s nearly three year history.
Collette then took to her facebook, posting “Whoo hoo! It’s official. I will now be the new co-host of the Dr. Blogstein Show every Tuesday at 9PM Eastern!!!”
Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour debuted on February 13, 2007 with a co-host simply named Jane. She left later that year when her one hour a week radio show got in the way with her New York City socialite lifestyle. She was replaced by Dangerous Lee who enjoyed a successful two year run on the program before resigning following an on air fight with Dr. Blogstein over the use of household appliances during the show.
Collette McLafferty first appeared as a guest on the Radio Happy Hour on January 8, 2008. Since then, she’s returned on several occasions, even calling in once while out on a blind date. She filled in for Dangerous Lee for the month immediately after her departure.
The “proposal” begins at the 1:04:51 mark
