Gary Bryan (born January 15) is an American radio disc jockey, currently on the air in Los Angeles, California at KRTH 101.1 FM. With more than 30 years in broadcasting, Bryan's career includes major-market program director and morning show duties, serving as host and producer of several syndicated programs, and ventures online and in television.
At age 17, visiting family near Augusta, GA., Bryan heard a horrible broadcaster and knew he could do better. He went in and met with the station manager and had a job the very next day. That station was WTWA in Thomson, Georgia.
He is a veteran broadcaster, having served as program director at such stations as KKRZ ("Z100") in Portland, Oregon, which he put on the air in 1984, KUBE in Seattle, Washington, which under his guidance achieved all-time record FM ratings for the market in 1988. He programmed ABC's flagship FM station in New York City, WPLJ, while also serving as morning host. He then shifted his focus exclusively to performing morning hosting duties, appearing on-air at America's most listened-to radio station, Z100 in New York City and KFRC in San Francisco, California.
Bryan drew national attention and controversy in early 1995 when he rewrote "Iko Iko" into a Lance Ito parody called "Ito Ito." After protests by several interest groups, Bryan was brought up on charges before the city of San Francisco's Human Rights Commission. He was found "guilty" but, as Bryan told the press, "They recommended I be demoted and take a cut in pay. Fortunately, they have no authority, so I told them to screw off."
In 1996, Bryan made his first feature film appearance with Eddie Murphy in "Metro."
In 1998 he became the morning host on KJR-FM in his hometown of Seattle, Washington. He came to his current station, KRTH in Los Angeles, in June 2002. He moved to afternoon drive in February 2005 and returned to the morning shift in May 2006.
