Elliot Segal (born February 17, 1969) is an American talk radio host. His Elliot in the Morning show is broadcast on WWDC (FM) in Washington, D.C., WRXL in Richmond, Virginia and WBWZ in Poughkeepsie, New York'
Segal was born in Canada but grew up in Houston, Texas. He is married and has two sons (born in February 2004 and in August 2006). He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity while in college at Houston Baptist University for a trimester.
Segal is a "shock jock", who is fond of toilet humor, gross-out jokes, and oddball stunts, which have comprised a large portion of material on his show, in addition to discussing current events, entertainment, politics, sports, and crime stories. His trademark is a loud, maniacal laugh. He frequently uses catchphrases, each with its own colorful origins, such as "Smell My Face!", "Do What?", "Rub The Phone Against It!", "Peace And Chicken Grease!", and "Thanks For Rolling With A Brother".
While most of his critics dismiss him as a shock jock, those familiar with Segal know that in addition to being crude and silly, he can also be very serious and conduct intelligent and insightful interviews. He is also involved with many local charities including 'Olie & Elliot's Great Saves' with former Washington Capitals goalie, Olaf Kölzig, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. He also features weekly interviews with America's Most Wanted producer, Donna Brant, to highlight specific cases from around the country, and has three captures attributed to these segments (through October 2007). He also talks semi-regularly with John Walsh and has even appeared in a re-enactment on the show. In addition to these things, once upon finding out that the video game unit had been stolen by a parent from the children's ward of the hospital he was in with his son in 2006, Segal arranged for several new & used video game systems to be donated to the hospital via local merchants and listeners of his radio show.
