The Tim Conway Jr. Show is a weeknight talk radio program, currently web streaming and broadcasting throughout the Los Angeles County and Orange County, California metropolitan areas at KFI AM 640. The show runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific Time and is hosted by Tim Conway, Jr.

Contents

Conway rose to popularity as a longtime host on former FM talk station KLSX, first teamed with Doug Steckler who was followed as co-host by Brian Whitman. After the 2008 departure of Whitman, Conway hosted solo rather than adopting a new co-host. On February 19, 2009, both Whitman and Steckler were special guests on Conway's last show before KLSX flipped the format to Top-40.

KFI

Conway's weeknight show at KFI began on Monday, January 18, 2010, after Bryan Suits, who previously hosted the show at that time slot, decided to move back to Seattle. In line with the majority of KFI's programming, Conway discusses political topics, leaning hard towards the right with a comical libertarian slant. Through July 17, 2015, on Friday nights, Conway was joined by comedian/writer Doug Steckler, his former co-host on KLSX. [2] On Tuesday nights Conway is joined by Mark Thompson. Conway often jokes about his costly love of gambling, especially his (usually) losing bets on the horses. He also retrospectively claims to have said, done, or is currently doing things, he has never actually done, in a completely believable manner.

On May 25, 2021, Conway, Jr., and his producer, Sheron Bellio, were suspended for a skit that used racist stereotypes of Asian Americans during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. [3]
