Jerry Doyle (who in my opinion might be the most underrated radio talk show host of our time) came on the show yesterday for the first 30 minutes to explain his recent absence.
It seems he was traveling alone in Germany when he was mugged from behind -- severely beaten in the head -- and hospitalized for about a week. He said he suffered a combination of pain and confusion.
His wallet with all his ID was stolen. He said it gave him new appreciation for what it's like to be in a desperate situation with no support network. He was able to call a friend in the States who flew to Germany to help out and accompany him home.
Had this happened to Limbaugh or Hannity it would have no doubt been front page news but I wasn't able to turn up anything about it with a Google search.
I hope he makes a quick and full recovery. I started listening to Doyle quite a few years ago when a local station carried his show and now listen to the stream out of Vegas when I can. To quote his network's blurb about the show (this stuff is usually BS but in this case it points out some of the things that make his show unique) -- http://www.trn1.com/the-jerry-doyle-show :
Future of talk radio? I wouldn't hold my breath as long as audiences are willing to accept the totally politically driven status quo.

Jet pilot, Wall Street investment banker for 10 years, Hollywood star for 12 years, former congressional nominee and now radio giant who has earned his right to this spot for close to 9 years. Jerry Doyle is the future of talk radio. He will bring massive audiences through word of mouth because he is brilliant and funny, showing both emotional and intellectual range that is beyond rare.
The Jerry Doyle Show is eminently saleable. He understands the advertising business like few others; Jerry is a triple-rated William Morris Agency voice-over artist who has voiced national ads for AT&T, Chevrolet, TGI Fridays, Anheiser-Busch, Panasonic, The US Armed Forces and many others.
Jerry will work with his stations reading their ads and promo’s, because he understands radio isn’t about host ego, it’s about high levels of performance, and it’s about business.
