Lamont Hollywood plans to return to the Bay Area radio airwaves with a new show set to debut at his former home early next year.
“The Lamont Show” will premiere on 107.7 The Bone (KSAN) on Jan. 6, just two months after Hollywood departed from the station, according to The S-F Chronicle.
His exit marked the end of a long-running partnership with Paul Tonelli on “The Lamont & Tonelli Show,” a fixture of Bay Area radio for 35 years.

The new show promises to continue the irreverent humor, classic rock hits and pop culture commentary that made “The Lamont & Tonelli Show” a favorite among listeners.
The duo first launched their morning program in 1989 at KSJO in San Jose before moving to KSAN in 2003, where they built a devoted fan base, affectionately known as Boneheads. Their farewell broadcast on Nov. 15 was filled with emotional listener tributes and heartfelt thanks. Lamont signed off with a nod to the Bay Area’s rock roots, playing Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” as the final track.
Last month, the company also parted ways with longtime KNBR hosts Tom Tolbert and John Lund, and relocated the station’s broadcast studios from San Francisco to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
