The Jesus Christ Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jesus Christ Show is a radio program that airs every Sunday from 6 to 9 a.m. on KFI in Los Angeles, California. The show is billed as "Hosted by Jesus Christ". Jesus is played by its producer Neil Saavedra. The show will become a part of Premiere Radio Networks starting on June 1, 2008, and will be syndicated to several stations in the US.

The show is not inherently religious; rather, it discusses life issues in a manner similar to advice shows such as Dr. Laura and Dr. Joy Browne. Saavedra, as Christ, dispenses answers and advice based upon Christ's parables and preaching as told in the Gospels.

[edit] Origin of Show

"The Jesus Christ Show" began as a short segment on KFI’s The Bill Handel Show, when Saavedra was invited to play the role of Jesus as a serious guest for an Easter program segment.^[1]

A podcast version of the show is available from KFI's web page.
