Le Show is a weekly syndicated public radio show hosted by satirist Harry Shearer. The program is a hodgepodge of satirical news commentary, music, and sketch comedy. Shearer, an impressionist known for his voice work on The Simpsons, writes the sketches and usually performs all the voices.
History
[edit]The show first aired on December 3, 1983,[1] and ran under various titles for several months before Le Show at the suggestion of a long-time friend of the host.[2] A satire of a popular marketing trend at the time to add "Le" to product names such as the Renault 5 which was heavily promoted in the US as Le Car.
Until April 14, 2013, for almost 30 years, Le Show usually originated live on Sunday mornings from "The Le Show Dome" (its reference for the studios) at KCRW in Santa Monica ("The city known around the world", Shearer says in his sign off, "as the home… of the homeless"). It is also frequently recorded at or broadcast from other NPR and public stations when Shearer is on the road. After the KCRW broadcast on April 14, 2013, KCRW moved the program from broadcast to webcast only.[3][4][5] While the show continues to air on numerous other sources,[6] primarily public radio stations (listed at the end of each show), Shearer expressed dismay over losing his home base radio broadcast, without any notice[7] or being allowed to say goodbye on the air.[8] Shearer has since ended each program by stating that Le Show originated from the "'Change is Hard' Radio Network", referring to a press statement from KCRW announcing the show's departure from its lineup. At the beginning of the July 14, 2013 episode, Shearer announced that the program is now airing on KCSN, bringing the show back to the Southern California airwaves roughly three months after it was taken off the air at KCRW. While KCSN provides live streaming of the show as well as the archives thereof, WWNO in New Orleans has taken over hosting its broadcast and podcast feeds. In Shearer's eyes, this prompted the change to the "'Change is Easy' Radio Network" (referring to the city's nickname "The Big Easy").
Several shows a year are broadcast from New Orleans, where Shearer has a residence. The New Orleans shows usually feature very prominent local musicians.
Availability
[edit]The program is carried on many NPR and other public radio stations throughout the US and abroad. It is also available internationally on NPR Worldwide, the American Forces Radio Network, USEN440 in Japan and over shortwave radio via WBCQ The Planet (7490 kHz).[9] Since the merger of the XM and Sirius satellite radio services into SiriusXM Satellite Radio, the program is no longer available on the merged service; on which Shearer commented, "because I guess, you know, mergers are good".[10] The program also aired on NPR Berlin from its launch in 2006 through to its 2017 shutdown; it was not picked up by its successor, KCRW Berlin.
The show is also available as podcasts of previous episodes from Shearer's website and as free downloadable files from Audible.com,[11] The show is also available as a podcast on iTunes[12] along with other KCRW programs, although KCRW no longer broadcasts the show. The podcasts differ from the broadcast and streaming versions, in that they generally include only a few seconds of the music Shearer spins for the show.[13] Exceptions are musical parodies and original songs written and performed by Shearer.
You say what you want to say without the expectation it’ll make any difference. Say what you want to say because you gotta say it, not because you think it’s going to change anything. Sometimes you might be pleasantly surprised, but most often, things go the way they go.[6]

Comedy segments
[edit]There are many recurring comedy sketches or parodies on the program.
Continental Public Radio
[edit]Shearer often parodies the other programming found on public radio, often as part of a fictional "Continental Public Radio" (CPR). These are populated with such personalities as host Aviva Schlorman, reporter Ira Zipkin, political editor Jonathan Ziziks and others, all voiced by Shearer. Recurring parodies include:
- "All in All" "CPR's weekly attempt to bring what's behind the news in front of the news and leave it there"[42][44][54]

The title and style of the show lampoon NPR's Car Talk, of which Shearer has been critical[61]) In 2014 Shearer promoted Karzai Talk T-shirts.[62]

Presidential or political parodies
[edit]Among the many presidential and political parodies are:
- "Alternative Scenario Playhouse" "Duelling dramatizations from radio's premiere venue of bifurcated possibilities" (Shearer re-enacts two possible versions of events behind the news)[72][73]

- "Super Bugs" (stories about antibiotic-resistant bacteria with Superfly-styled theme song, new feature as of October 2011)[88]
Comedy interviews
[edit]Shearer will interview someone in-studio or via telephone. For the phone interviews, he claims to be opening up the phone for listener calls (even though no phone number was announced) or will reveal that there is an incoming call on "the newsmaker line". These are among the few comedy segments in which voices other than Shearer's are heard. Many are voiced by writer Tom Leopold, who has worked with Shearer on several other projects.[89] These include:
- "Tony Bellalaqua" (a listener in the midwest)[90]
- "Lyle Condit" (Congressman Gary Condit's youngest brother)[91]
- "David Feldman" (A high school teacher and friend of Monica Lewinsky)[92]
- "Yvonne Della Femina" (a multiple-sex-change recipient with a storied past)[93][94][95]
- "John Walker Lindh" (the so-called "American Taliban")[96]
- "Elvis Presley" (on the issuance of his U.S. postage stamp)[97]
- "Ira Rifleman" (a listener who allegedly bought a truck owned by Scott Peterson who was convicted of the murder of his wife Laci Peterson)[98]
- "Tyler Michael Tucker" (an actor from a failed TV program)[99]
Other personalities not voiced by Leopold include:
- "David Manning" (the fictitious film reviewer, voiced by a computer voice synthesizer)[100]
- "Ralph the Talking Computer" (a computer synthesized voice)[74][101][102][103]
- "Barry Saint-Martin"[80] aka "Barry Saint-Michael"[104] (actor Alex Lowe)
- "Shabshab" (a former Saddam Hussein lookalike and stereo salesman in Iraq voiced by Shearer)[84][105][106]
On very rare occasions Shearer has announced a phone number and taken actual listener calls.[107]

King, and Prince.
Segment theme music
[edit]- The show opens with an archival recording of Ben Grauer saying "Here it is". For years, this was followed by Shearer saying, "From deep inside your radio..." over a fragment of classical music (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik, 4th movement), a parody of the American Public Radio/Public Radio International/Minnesota Public Radio intro featuring the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, 3rd movement by Bach. The opener was modified starting with December 13, 2015 episode with Shearer saying "From deep inside your audio device of choice..." over a fragment of contemporary electronic music. [better source needed]
- A looped sample of "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" by Paul McCartney is used for "Apologies of the Week", with emphasis on McCartney saying "sorry".[22]
- Glenn Yarbrough singing the Rod McKuen song "Listen to the Warm" is used for "News of the Warm".[135]
- Joe Satriani playing "Summer Song" (from the album The Extremist) is the theme for "(Inside) Extra Access Tonight"
- The Beatles instrumental "Flying" (from the album Magical Mystery Tour) is the theme for "Tales of Airport Security"
- The segments "F is for FEMA", "Los Angeles Dog Trainer Corrections", "Let's Get Scared", "News from the Digital Wonderland", "News of Inspectors General" and "Clean, Safe, Too Cheap to Meter" use original music recorded and sung by Shearer.
- "Clintonsomething" uses the original theme music from the TV series thirtysomething.
- "The Trades" uses "Rut" by Carla Bley, from the CD "Nightglo" on ECM
- "News of Transparency" uses a Shearer produced version of another Beatles song I'm Looking Through You
- "News of Clowns" at first used an instrumental version of Be a Clown, but switched to The Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles (from the album Make It Happen)
Criticism
[edit]On July 2, 2006, Wisconsin Public Radio cancelled Le Show as part of a revamp of the network's programming. On the July 16 edition of the program, Shearer claimed WPR was "displeased with the political content of the broadcast".[136] WPR Director of Radio Phil Corriveau told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the program's political content was a minor factor and the decision had to do with Le Show's consistency: "I think he's brilliant. But I think if you listen to the show, they can be brilliant, or they can really ramble on."[137]
