Will they call it “Entertainment This Morning?” Former “Entertainment Tonight” co-anchor and game show host Bob Goen is moving to Cincinnati with his wife, Marianne Curan, to co-host mornings on Cumulus’ WRRM-FM (98.5, WARM98).
“Bob & Marianne Radio,” or “BMR,” will begin 5:30-10 a.m. on Oct. 1. Program director Chris Lynn moves from mornings to middays on that day.
Goen worked with Mary Hart on “ET” from 1993 to 2004. He has also hosted the daytime version of “Wheel of Fortune” (1989-91), “Perfect Match,” “Home Shopping Game,” “Blackout” and other game shows, and the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants for CBS.
Curan is an improvisational comedian from The Groundlings who who spoofed Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sarah Palin for Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show,” and appeared on Frank Caliendo’s “Frank TV” sketch comedy show.
“TV has been an incredible career for me. But I started in radio and always looked forward to the day when I could return. And better yet, I get to do radio with my wife,” Goen said in the station’s announcement.
“I can’t wait to get back on the radio with Bob and get to know our new listeners. Hope our show helps start Cincinnati’s day with a lot of laughs!” Marianne said.
The Cumulus team “is very excited to welcome Bob & Marianne to Cincinnati and Warm 98. We know that they will make mornings on Warm 98 entertaining, interesting and fun while helping our listeners start their day,” said Dave Crowl, Cumulus regional VP/market manager.
