The Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw Show (DSC) is a long-running morning radio show in the San Diego, California area. The show is named for its three main hosts, Dave Rickards; Shelly Dunn; and Cookie "Chainsaw" Randolph, known as the "Dean of American Sportscasters".[1]

The format of the show combines humor, parodies news and skits. The show's bawdy humor and irreverent attitude, described as "raucous and often hilarious", has sometimes sparked controversy.[2] That said, the show is marketed as "San Diego's most dependably hilarious morning radio show".[3][4]

In addition to the radio programming, the show has produced three comedic films starring Dave, Shelly, and Chainshaw. The group released has also produced 18 annual "Best of" CDs featuring the show's regular cast members. The proceeds from the CDs and DVDs, usually released around Christmas, support the show's charity fund that assists San Diego residents in need.[5]

Programming history

The Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw Show debuted in 1990, on KGB-FM as The Dawn Patrol. In 1992, the group moved to Rock 102 and changed the show's name to The Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw Show, often referred to as simply DSC. In 1997, both radio stations were purchased by Jacor Broadcasting (which was later bought by Clear Channel). At that time, the show moved back to KGB-FM.[3]

In January 2010, the show was abruptly canceled by Clear Channel, with executives citing an "inability to reach an agreement" with the performers.[6] The cast denied any agreement was even attempted.[further explanation needed] Fans of the show protested and staged rallies, to no avail.[7] The show remained off the air until August 2, 2010, when it was picked up by Jack 100.7 FM. The show initially featured Rickards and Randolph, without Dunn, who was still under contract with Clear Channel.[8]

In addition to Rickards, Dunn, and Randolph, the show included a support cast consisting of Chris Boyer; producer Emily Maguire, who screens listener calls; Nina Reeba (known as Ruth 66); and Elaina Smith. While Dunn was in a contract dispute with former broadcasters Clear Channel, Smith substituted for Dunn on air. Former cast members have included sports producer David "Bromo" Abromowitz and Shelly Brown (who was nicknamed "Chucko" to avoid confusion with Shelly Dunn).[citation needed]

Film development

The J-K Conspiracy

The J-K Conspiracy is a 2004 film directed by Chainsaw, and produced jointly by Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw. The film stars the entire cast of The Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw Show. The story is a semi-fictional tale, written by Jules Hypenstein and based on a real event that took place several years before the movie was made.[citation needed]

Plot: The J through K volume of Chainsaw's World Book encyclopedia has been stolen and (in the movie) Chainsaw accuses Dave of stealing it, triggering a comedic misadventure with guest appearances by co-starring Bob Costas, Dom Irrera, Doug Flutie, Davy Jones, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, and Don Rickles. Along the way, viewers get an inside look at real-life flashbacks, radio station politics, bizarre secret meetings, and conspiracy theories, along with the night life parties, sporting events, and live comedy.

The Trouble With Money

The Trouble with Money is the second film produced by Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw.

Plot: Shamus O'Reilly is supposed to receive $1 million for a scandalous video-tape desperately wanted by notorious businessman Kaiser Poppo. Before Shamus arrives for the switch, Poppo's thugs accidentally give the money to Shamus look-alike Dave Rickards, a local radio host in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rickards is chased through the streets of downtown San Diego and onto a train, where he makes a clean get-away with the cash. Now Poppo not only wants the video-tape but his money back and must contend with the FBI, con men, and his long-time nemesis "The Greek". Despite advice from San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and Watergate legend G. Gordon Liddy, Rickards loses track of both the money and the video-tape. He is then tricked into a dramatic showdown with Poppo, and the secret of the video-tape is finally revealed. Shot entirely in San Diego County; cameos from Bob Costas, Luke Walton and Bill Walton.[citation needed]

No-Brainer

No-Brainer is the third film by Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw. Cameos from many celebrities including Will Ferrell, Bob Saget, Paula Abdul, Paula Poundstone, and recurring guest Bob Costas.[9]
