Geno Michellini, Familiar Voice to L.A. Rock Fans as KLOS Drive-Time DJ in ’80s and ’90s, Dies at 77
Geno Michellini, who held down the afternoon slot at KLOS in the '80s and '90s, and was credited by Tim Allen for his big break, has died at 77.
His signature phrase, “How Ya Doin'” — inspired by his friend Joe Walsh) — was emblazoned in KLOS’ familiar rainbow-surrounded bumper stickers. A seven-minute comedy segment called “The 5 O’Clock Funnies” was a key part of his program during drive time, and Tim Allen credited his first appearances on the show in early 1989 as giving him his big break. Born into a military family as Theodore Eugene Dunmire, the future Michellini first began broadcasting from the Philippines on Armed Forces Radio during the Vietnam war.
