Charlie Curtis

Charlie Curtis, The Morning Show

A talented air-trombonist and certified celestial mechanic specializing in tuneups and oil changes, Charlie is a man of many parts, most of which are worn and in need of replacement. Voted "Most Likely To Need Reattachment Surgery" by his shop class at Brooklyn Vocational High School, Charlie flunked out of some of the worst colleges in the country, because the good ones wouldn't admit him in the first place. Setting his sights on the life of a seafaring man, Charlie acquired a parrot and a wooden leg and began work as First Mate on the Staten Island Ferry, eventually being forced to leave due to chronic sea-sickness.  Setting his parrot and wooden leg free, Charlie made his way to the North Shore, where he joined WBOQ in the mid-90’s. He hopes to receive his green card very soon, or at least keep his head down until the Democrats can pass immigration reform. (Note to Homeland Security: JUST KIDDING!) Contrary to rumor, due to his deathly fear of needles Charlie has no tattoos, but his mother did write his name on all his underwear.
