The Dog House (talk show)

The Dog House is an American radio talk show that was originally hosted by JV (Jeff Vandergrift) and co-hosted by Elvis (Dan Lay).

The show was previously based in New York City on 92.3 Free FM, and prior to that aired on Clear Channel's Wild 94.9 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The two met in 1993 and have been radio cohosts together for over 15 years, (along with JV's high school friend and show producer "Hollywood" Lance Otani) starting on Hot 97.7 in San Jose, California.

In 1995, program directors Michael Martin and Joe Cunningham of Wild 107 eagerly hired them to fill a timeslot vacated by Mancow Muller.

In August 2014, the duo announced that they would be restarting The Dog House show, this time starting with weekly podcasts using the online-based Stitcher Radio.

[5] His wife, Natasha Yi, has not heard from him and she released this statement: Thank you to our friends and the entire i-HeartRadio family and listeners for your love, support and prayers.

At this time, JV officially remains missing according to the SFPD [San Francisco Police Department], but no foul play is suspected in his disappearance.

The station once responded to his negative reviews of The Dog House with a large ad in the newspaper that read: "FUN RADIO IS BACK Bringing You a Mad-Kap Cup of Morning Java!"

But when folded inward, similar to a MAD fold-in, the ad then read "FUCK Brad Kava" with the hands forming an upraised middle finger.

The call featured an exaggerated voice using racial stereotypes (examples include "Chinese man, tell me about your tiny egg roll... your tiny egg roll in your pants", "Should I come to your restaurant so that I can see you naked... that way I can see your hot Asian spicy ass", and "You are a very nice Chinese man... probably can't drive for shit, but who cares.").

[16] The show was later canceled, with CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo stating: "The Dog House with JV and Elvis will no longer be broadcast.

"[17] At KYLD, The Dog House branched out into comedy CDs and DVDs, most of which were given away to listeners or sold by local music shops and online.
