Rodney Ho at ajc.com is reporting a bash for “The
Talkmaster” Neil Boortz is set for Jan. 12, about a week before his official
departure from four decades of radio shows. It will feature comedian Jeff
Foxworthy and guests Herman Cain, who will replace Boortz in January; his buddy
and syndicated talk show host Sean Hannity; WSB talk show host Erick Erickson,
also editor of Redstate.com, and consumer advocate Clark Howard. The band Banks
and Shane, one of Boortz’s favorite acts and good friends, will perform.
Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. at
ticketalternative.com. Prices range from $35 to $100.
Belinda Skelton, Boortz’s longtime producer, said there will
be surprise guests as well. “We were working on this before his retirement
announcement was made in June, How many times does a larger-than-life person
like Neal retire like this?”
Farewell events also are planned in Tulsa, Okla.,
Jacksonville, Orlando and Dayton, Ohio, cities where Boortz’s syndicated show
has been on the air since the early years of syndication in the 1990s.
