Celeb Interviews

Stevens & Pruett

Best of Stevens & Pruett

The Stevens & Pruett Show: A Legendary Radio Career The Stevens & Pruett Show, featuring Mark Stevens and Jim Pruett, stands as one of the most iconic and influential morning radio programs in Texas broadcasting history. The duo’s irreverent humor, boundary-pushing antics, and undeniable chemistry captivated audiences for over two decades, with their most celebrated tenure occurring at KLOL-FM in Houston. Known as the "Radio Gawds," Stevens and Pruett pioneered […]

Kevin Dorsey

KLOL’s Wild Card Kevin Dorsey hit Houston’s airwaves in the late 1980s and quickly became a KLOL legend. Kevin joined the Rock 101 KLOL lineup when the station ruled the city’s rock radio scene. Dorsey worked afternoons and later middays.

His deep voice, quick wit, and zero-filter style made him a perfect fit for KLOL’s anything-goes attitude. Listeners loved his prank calls, celebrity impressions, and brutal honesty about music and life.

He was part of the infamous “Outlaw Radio” crew alongside Stevens & Pruett, Moby, and the rest of the madhouse. Dorsey thrived in the chaos—whether crashing live bits, starting on-air feuds, or sneaking banned songs past management.

Fans still quote his classic lines and bits, especially the recurring “Kevin’s Corner” segments where he roasted callers and played deep album cuts. He also voiced countless station promos that sounded like movie trailers on steroids.

After KLOL flipped formats in 2004, Dorsey kept rocking Houston on other stations for years. To old-school KLOL listeners, though, he’ll always be the guy who made afternoon drive feel dangerous and fun. Pure Houston rock radio royalty.

Kevin Dorsey passed away on October 9, 2002, at the age 45.

Funny Story

One of the all-time fan-favorite bits featuring Kevin Dorsey and Stevens & Pruett on KLOL happened during a chaotic 1992 morning show promo for the station’s “Outlaw Radio” Halloween party.

Dorsey, the gravel-voiced afternoon DJ with his thick Queens accent, was roped in for a live read that spiraled into pure anarchy.

Stevens kicked it off straight-faced: “Hey, Groove Dawgs, don’t miss the Outlaw Halloween Bash this weekend—costumes mandatory, no wimps allowed!” Pruett chimed in with his deadpan drawl: “Yeah, and if you’re scared of clowns or bad decisions, stay home.

“Enter Dorsey via phone from the promo truck, slurring like he’d already hit the eggnog: “It’s gonna be wild, folks! Free beer, live bands, and me in a nun’s habit doin’ the Macarena!” Stevens, trying to stay on script, asked, “Kevin, what’s the dress code again?” Dorsey fired back, “Nothin’ under thongs, baby! And Pruett, you comin’ as a cowboy or just your usual depressed accountant?”Pruett, unfazed, muttered, “I’m goin’ as Mark’s dignity—oh wait, that’s invisible.” Stevens lost it mid-sentence, howling with that infectious laugh of his, while Dorsey escalated: “Hey, I’m drivin’ the truck right now—hold on, gotta swerve around this squirrel… nope, false alarm, it’s just Pruett’s career!”

The whole thing devolved into five minutes of crosstalk, with Dorsey blasting a foghorn sound effect (stolen from the promo kit) and Stevens fake-sobbing about “ruined airtime.”Listeners flooded the lines with costume ideas for KD, and the party sold out in hours. It’s peak KLOL: unscripted, unhinged, and unforgettable. Airchecks still circulate among old Groove Dawgs.
