Sorry to bust your bubble Russ....
KMOX Radio in St. Louis, a clear channel 50,000 watt station that reaches 44 states at night had a late night talk show host that coined that phrase long before Ron White was born!
Jim White had a call in talk show that came on at 11:00 p.m. and went off at 2:00 a.m. and by midnight he was getting calls from all over the US. Extremely intelligent and well read and was not the most patient person, Jim, was however very popular and was not afraid to tackle any topic.
Fortunately most of his views on things coincided with mine and we often chatted and debated those of opposing viewpoints long into the night. If you tried to discuss something without having your information correct or if you got emotional he would simply press the button on the console and you were GONE!
