| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00  | I guess any press is good press! What a great interview this was! Opie is one sick mother fucker... PAGE SIX By RICHARD JOHNSON with Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 12, 2002 -- Shock jocks torment 'Hero' ROBERT Clary, best known for playing Corporal Louis LeBeau on the classic sitcom "Hogan's Heroes," won't be calling Opie and Anthony's talk show anytime soon. Clary, 75, phoned the WNEW duo on Thursday to plug his new autobiography "From the Holocaust to ‘Hogan's Heroes' " - which details his amazing journey from his childhood in a Nazi concentration camp to Hollywood stardom in the '60s. But when Clary called the show, the unsuspecting Frenchman was immediately met with an insulting assault of gay innuendo, offensive sound effects and, later, even a speech by Adolf Hitler. When Clary first called the afternoon drive-time chatfest, he was put on hold while Opie and Anthony implied to the audience that his "Hogan's Heroes" character was gay. "Remember LeBeau, the French guy who always made the strudel for Schultz, so he'd let him do things?" Anthony asked. "The gay guy?" Opie replied. "French, gay, whatever," Anthony said. Once Clary was on the line, Opie asked him, "Were you the gay guy on ‘Hogan's Heroes'?" An outraged Clary sputtered, "Oh, Opie, don't give me that dumb thing. Just stop it with the gay stuff. There were no gay guys. Shut up, Opie!" Opie then went on to bait Clary, who is married, about his own sexuality. Anthony pretended to be outraged by Opie's comments and kept Clary on the line by asking him about "Hogan's Heroes." Clary's temperature rose when Opie began playing audio sound bites that called him a "faggot." Anthony apologized and told Opie to shut up, and Clary calmed down enough to describe his time in the concentration camp. But midway through the harrowing tale, Opie played a canned laugh track - and Clary hung up. A producer managed to get Clary back on the phone a few minutes later. After Anthony again apologized, Clary warned him: "I am not a moron, I'm not a kid. [Opie] can have his joke with someone else, but I'm not going to put up with it!" Clary returned to his Holocaust saga and talked about family members who had been deported from France and forced into the gas chambers. But even while he was relaying the story, the shock jocks played audio of a pingpong game, followed by snippets from a Hitler speech. With that, Clary hung up for good. Michael Messina, a spokesman for Madison Books, Clary's publisher, branded Opie and Anthony's antics "anti-Semitic" and "outrageous and dangerous hate."

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 01 | Those crackasses don't know what they're talking about. That was probably the funniest thing I ever heard them do to somebody, except for their interview with Dr. Smith the day before. Also, the bit where Anthony is imitating Ronald Reagan after the death of his daughter to skin cancer runs a close third. Waddle Doodle! I'm only pretty sure That I can't take anymore. It's always good to be a part of something you wouldn't normally have anything to do with. Individuality is bullshit. You won't get anywhere in the world unless you give in to what everyone else wants at some point. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | This might grow into something that makes it to the front page. There are a lot of people up in arms about this bit. Go read the Dentists board and you will see an email from Clay's manager. I think the bit was over the top and went into bad territory but it was funny as hell. Why the hell would the guy call back if he didn't know what he was getting into? I just hope they don't get in trouble for this. As many of you know Infinity heads are all mostly Jewish. Shawn | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: If this guy was so upset about O&A doing essentially the same thing "Hogan's Heroes" did (joke in reference to the Holocaust), he never should've been on the show or called back. Its all about press for this guy's book now. Oh, and to the NY Radio Message Board people that I can't post in reply to~ no, it might not be funny, but its cringe radio. Which is just as good in my book. They should quit making a mountain out of a molehill.

| Hanger-On Registered: Aug. 01 | This bit was way over the top in my opinion. I've been listening for two years but I dont think O and A are racists, they're just going for shock value. Now that this has hit the papers you can expect all kinds of groups and organizations to get involved. This might blow up into something bigger. O and A should just get on the air on Monday and admit they were wrong because they were way over the top and I think deep down they know it. Playing ping pong sound effects over the concentration camp story was plain wrong. It's like if a fireman called up and talked about his stories from ground zero and they played sound effects. adopted by hornygoatweed | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I just downloaded the segment and it was definately cringe funny. I did agree with one thing the guy said though, "Just shut up Opie and let Anthony talk"  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | silent game, Fuck that! O&A should never go on the air and say sorry for the bit. Give me a fucking break its what there show is about. It’s about being shocking and funny and this bit was both. Your analogy to the WTC disaster is just wrong and stupid. I think you one sick fuck for even thinking like that. The reason this bit is causing such commotion is because it is against a Jewish person. Anytime in media when someone attacks and African American or someone of Jewish decent it always turns into something bigger. Bring on the Irish jokes and see how many Irish people complain.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Damn, O&A are frying for this one! I would never have the balls or lack of conscience to do that! It was funny, but only because Opie had the stones to do such a thing. There's goofing on a guy, and then there's jumping off the edge. Will I listen to O&A every day until they retire? Yes. But if I was a first time listener, I would call up the station and scream until my toung turned blue. That's definately not the route that I would have gone with that "interview" the gay stuff was fine and some of the sound effects, but playing hitler to a holocaust survivor is HARDCORE cringe radio.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: How can you say they are wrong? They always go over the top to prove a point. And the point is this guy made a living off of the tragedy that was the Holocaust, and is still living off it with his new book. His publisher knew what the show was about but decided it would be good for him anyway? Its his own fault for not expecting the lion to eat the meat.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | TW, Hogan's Heros never made fun of the holocaust. It is a sitcom about a miltary POW camp. not a concentration camp. Big difference. And how many Pearl Harbor jokes can you rattle off? This was a funny bit. The envelope was pushed. The holocaust comments went too far, but one thing you can give O&A credit for is trying to find out how far is far?  American Patriot, Pennsylvania resident, but original NYC listener.
