I listen to Charles Goyette pretty much every morning on 1010 AM KXXT, our local Air America affiliate. Good show, for the most part, entertaining an informative, even I sometimes find I disagree with his politics. That's fine.
For a recurring joke the last couple of weeks, he plays the theme from The Greatest American Hero, then makes jokes about bubblegum pop singers turning into cable news pundits.
In case you're unsure (as is likely) what the joke is here, that theme song (the chorus goes: "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air / I never thought I could feel so free-ee-ee", etc., etc.) was performed by Joey Scarbury. Charles Joseph Scarborough, usually referred to as Joe Scarborough, is a former congressman and current right-wing commentator on MSNBC.
Goyette asserts that they're the same person and jokes endlessly about (him). But they're not. And it's embarrassing.
Scarbury, from California, was born in 1955, started recording in 1968 and gave up music in the early '80s to pursue a career in baseball. Scarborough, on the other hand, was born in 1963 in Atlanta and served as a US Representative from Florida from 1994 to 2001.
Stop it, Charles, stop it! You're embarrassing me.
