Craig Carton and Evan Roberts want to see Gary Dell’Abate, better known to Howard Stern listeners as “Bababooey” get inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. The WFAN afternoon duo discussed his credentials on their show last week.
They said that being the producer of the best radio show of all time is credential enough for Dell’Abate. Carton & Roberts compared that distinction to being the manager of the greatest baseball team ever.
On Monday, Stern responded to the idea on his SiriusXM show.
“I think Al Dukes should be in before Gary,” the King of All Media said. “I don’t know Mr. Dukes. Who is Al Dukes?”
Dell’Abate reminded Stern that Dukes briefly worked with them at 92.3 K-Rock in New York and that now he produces Boomer & Gio in morning drive on WFAN.
“Okay. I just think he should be in before you,” Stern told his producer.
Dukes caught the discussion and posted the audio on his Facebook page saying “it was pretty cool to hear Stern mention my name.”
For the record, Gary Dell’Abate reached out to thank Craig Carton for advocating for his inclusion in the Radio Hall of Fame.
