Atlanta Radio: ‘Bert Show,’ Former Host Moe Mitchell Settle Suit

Moe Mitchell with Bert Weiss

"The Bert Show" was a long-running, Atlanta-based syndicated morning radio program hosted by Bert Weiss. It launched in 2001 on Q99.7 (WWWQ) in Atlanta and grew into a nationally syndicated show distributed by Westwood One, airing in over two dozen markets. 

Known for its mix of humor, personal stories, celebrity interviews, listener interactions, and philanthropy (including the associated nonprofit Bert's Big Adventure, which provides Disney World trips for children with chronic or terminal illnesses), the show ran for exactly 25 years.

Bert Weiss announced his retirement in September 2025, and the final broadcast aired on October 24, 2025, marking the end of the program.

Regarding Moe Mitchell (full name Maurice "Moe" Mitchell): He joined the show in May 2018 as a co-host, bringing a background in stand-up comedy and digital content creation with no prior radio experience. He became a key cast member, often noted as the show's first and only full-time minority co-host.

Mitchell abruptly stopped appearing on the show in August 2025 without public explanation. On August 20, 2025, Bert Weiss addressed it on-air with a brief statement: "Unfortunately, Moe is not going to be part of 'The Bert Show' anymore. That is really all I can share at this time." No further details were provided by the show at the time, leading to fan speculation about contract disputes or interpersonal issues.

Subsequently, the show's production entity filed a lawsuit against Mitchell alleging breach of contract. As reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the parties have apparently reached a settlement. The exact terms of the settlement were not disclosed publicly, and neither side has commented extensively beyond the initial reports.

Post-departure, Mitchell has continued his podcast "In the Moement" and stand-up comedy career. In recent episodes (as of late 2025), he has referenced the end of "The Bert Show" and responded to past criticisms from former colleagues, but has not detailed the lawsuit or departure specifics.
