Frazer Smith (Comedian/Broadcaster)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frazer Smith is a DJ and stand up comedian. He was born in Detroit and worked in Los Angeles, California at KROQ from 1976 through 1979, KLOS-FM 1979 through 1984, KMET 1984 through 1986, KLSX 1986 through 1997 KLOS in 1997 and KRTH in 2002. He has also played small roles in movies and TV shows and was one of the announcers on the TBS music video show Night Tracks from 1986-1988 and 1989-1991.
For several years, Smith made an annual tradition of offering an alternate audio commentary to television coverage of the famous Tournament of Roses Parade. He would choose a venue on the parade route and host a live broadcast where he would describe the passing bands and floats in outrageous, humorous terms.
The "Fraze" also hosted the little-known late night comedy show called "Rock 'N' America," in 1984, helping to spread the use of the words "cheesy," and "cheese-log."
