Cast (The Class)

Elliot Segal

Lead personality. This shortish (5'7") forty-something is a native Canadian who was raised in Houston, Texas. He graduated high school in 1987 and attended Houston Baptist University, where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. His career in radio started at KKBQ in Houston, Texas as producer of John Lander's "Q-Morning Zoo" show. He also produced Scott Shannon's program on Pirate Radio in Los Angeles before working with Danny Bonaduce at WEGX in Philadelphia. By 1994, Elliot was a part of the "Morning Zoo" at Z100 in New York. Priding himself on toilet humor and gross-out jokes, he came to Washington in 1999, with his trademark, maniacal laugh. He is married to wife Jacquie, and has two sons—the older born in February 2004, and the younger born in August 2006. He also had an American Bulldog named Molson, whose name was likely a nod to his Canadian roots. Sadly, Molson had to be euthanized in early June 2007. In 2008, Elliot adopted a 150 lb Great Dane named Deuce. Elliot frequently uses catchphrases (each with its own colorful origins) such as "Rub the Phone against IT!", "Peace and Chicken Grease!", "Smell My Face!", and "Do What?". Superfan of Marilyn Manson, Nickelback, and Wayne Gretzky.

"Diane's Dirt" is a popular segment at the end of each show, where she covers the latest celebrity gossip. She often does celebrity impressions of Britney Spears and US Senator Larry Craig. She is married to Scott Hughes, who is commonly referred to as "Turtleman," a nod to a YouTube video. The two have a daughter, born in 2005. Diane is a proud graduate of Radford University, located in southwestern Virginia. During a bit in 2003, she admitted that she lost her virginity on a ping pong table.

His 4th grade anti-drug song called "Everybody Say No" gained popularity amongst listeners and is featured on YouTube.
