Atlanta Radio: The Bert Show Introduces Newest Cast Member

He's Brian Moote, a Seattle stand-up comic, actor and radio host.

Moote, replaces former No.2 man Jeff Dauler, who resigned in Jeff Dauler resigned in November from the Bert Show on WWWQ 99.7 FM Q100 (and syndicated in 17-markets) after 14 years to join rival station Star 94.  Dauler's new morning star on WSTR is expected to start in February.

Moote is a Washington state native who grew up on a farm and  moved to Atlanta last month.  He was so eager to join the Bert Show Thursday morning, he was at the mic at 5:15 a.m., even before his boss Bert Weiss showed up.



He is married to Katie Waissel, a singer who finished seventh on the “X Factor” in the U.K. in 2010. They had been living in Los Angeles, though for a time he had commuted to do radio in Seattle. He was doing stand-up comedy and “auditioning [for acting roles] relentlessly and being told no for no reason.”

Now that he’s in Atlanta, “we have an apartment that has a pool and I have already found out the hard way that winters in Atlanta mean that the pool is just for looks and that hypothermia is real. We don’t have any children because we have a one bedroom apartment with a ton of breakable stuff.
