Garner Andrews

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garner Andrews is a popular morning radio personality in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Among doing small promos and voice talents for other broadcasters such as Zed 99 FM - Red Deer (radio) and DejaVU (cable TV), he can best be found weekday mornings from 6:00 am until 10:00 am hosting the Garner Andrews Show on Sonic 102.9FM.

Garner has quickly become known for his unique style of morning radio humor, which includes rants and discussions on various day-to-day topics of modern culture and public etiquette. He is known to assertively push for changes in the Edmonton community through multiple projects, such as discouraging the use of debit at the Tim Horton's drive-thru, to petitioning for the renaming of a street after himself. He often brings up the topic of running for and becoming the first "President of Alberta", although his sincerity on the subject is uncertain.

His morning radio show can characteristically be identified by his "Napoleon Dynamite"-esq choices of background music, frequent lashings at a fictitious assistant named Amber, and of course, intro segments from the high-pitched studio usher character, Teddy Peterson.

Some Garner Andrews ideas that have festered into large scale operations are:

• The Pie Movement
• Man Land
• Trophy Wife (t-shirts)
• Daily Nap Index

Despite Garner's social efforts, The Garner Andrews show's most popular component could possibly be the Sonic Modern Rock Door. Played weekday mornings at 8:20am, listeners can call in to guess the song and artist of a brief snippet of audio for a daily incremented cash prize. This contest is notoriously difficult. (additional minor contests: Song Bot, Make it Stop)
