What's the quickest way to irritate a human being?
 
Scott Leffler, of course.

Now he brings that unique style to WECK weekday mornings at 10.


Scott is a graduate of Niagara-Wheatfield (1992) and Ashland University (1996) where his coursework focused on journalism and political science.

Scott lives in Lockport with his wife and two daughters. An avid hockey fan, Scott is also very active in local politics and a huge proponent of local music.
 

Dennis Miller        www.dennismillerradio.com  

Dennis MillerIt's been said that Miller is "One of the premiere comedy talents in America today..." While others are blunt assessing  Miller's comedic stature, Dennis himself  makes a virtue of understatement, but  there is nothing low key about his career.

Miller is a five-time Emmy award winner for his critically acclaimed half-hour, live talk show "Dennis Miller Live" which had a nine year run on HBO. He also wrote and starred in the Emmy-nominated cable comedy special "Raw Feed", his sixth such special. He was the host and executive producer of CNBC's "Dennis Miller", a topical interview talk show featuring reasoned discourse, opinion and humor. Additionally, Miller has appeared on many politically oriented television talk shows.

He has also been cast in films, usually in dramatic roles, most notably in 1994's "Disclosure," 1995's "The Net," and 1996's "Murder at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."
