The Cameron, Joe, and Jackie Show
9-11 pm
Cameron Ferguson, Joe Nagy, and Jackie Hobbs
The show features three youths as they tackle celebrity gossip, real-world issues, humor, and each other. Topics can range from the rise and fall of Charlie Sheen to females in sports to the war in Iraq, all the way back to how The X-Factor ruined American Idol. This show runs the gamut from A to B and everywhere in between.
After doing grunt work, writing video scripts, and impressing the bigwigs as an intern at California’s number one rock station, KRXQ, Cameron Ferguson was let go and asked not to return. Not to be discouraged, he dominated the late-night airwaves as cohost of the now-defunct program Under Sedation. After the program was retired, he set forth to create a new show: stronger, faster, and a little less professional. When Joe Nagy's not spending time at work or with loved ones, he enjoys painting miniature models, playing video games, and generally being a fountain of knowledge from which all are welcome to quench their thirst. If Joe could be any animal, he would be a Hungarian horntail -- because dragons are real. Jackie Hobbs, a psychology major at Sacramento State University, spends her free time either rooting for the Green Bay Packers or with friends and family. With all the lung capacity to talk people’s ears off and none of the knowledge to back it up, Jackie asks the important question. "Why don't you listen to me?!"
