Стив Сомерс: WFAN радиосының «Скмузері» туралы ақпарат

American talk radio host
Steve Somers (born April 17, 1947), nicknamed the Schmoozer, is an American talk radio host best known for his work on the New York City sports radio station WFAN (660 AM). He has been with the station since its inception in 1987.

Somers is a native of San Francisco, California, and became a fan of the San Francisco Giants upon the team's arrival to the city in 1958. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1969. He currently resides in Manhattan. At that time, Somers developed some of the quirks that have been hallmarks of his WFAN tenure, dropping catchphrases such as "schmoooooozing S P O R T S" (spelling out the word "sports"), giving time checks in minutes and seconds, uniquely reading the end of the station's phone number as "six six six six" rather than the standard "sixty six sixty six", joking at the expense of engineer Eddie Scozzare ("THE Eddie Scozzare?" "No, Eddie Maple, who do you think we're talking? "), and reading the catalogue numbers of live commercials ("LV 242, for those of you scoring at home, and I know you are "). He is also known to refer to the New York Mets, by their official name "The New York Metropolitans" drawing out the parts as Metro Politans, and referring to the Islanders as the Ice landers. Currently, Somers usually works during the evening on weekdays. His program can be heard anywhere from 6:30pm to 2am, depending on whether WFAN airs a sporting event that night. He is also sometimes heard on weekends. He is colloquially known as "The Schmoozer." On Sunday, February 25, 2024 Steve returned to WFan. He also stated he would once again return to the air the following Saturday.

Somers appeared in the 1979 film The Visitor.
