Terrell has been a host on Kiss for 13 years and your favorite blogger was even a guest on the show a few years back (click HERE if you missed that).

Art Terrell is greatly recognized for his mesmerizing voice and captivating personality. As an Atlanta native, Terrell embraces the successful expansion of “urban” community, radio and music within the greater “ATL.”

Roy Wood, Jr. is known for his infamous prank calls on the radio and his performances on NBC?s ?Last Comic Standing?, the “Leno Show” and the Improv.
