During the time that Larry is away from the microphone, Salem
has tapped Carl Jackson as Larry’s replacement. Carl already has a
show on Salem owned AM 950 The Answer in Orlando. He also is a
regular substitute host for Dennis Prager, having done the Prager
show 6 times already this year.
Carl is a black conservative, who grew up outside Compton,
California. He now owns his own business in Orlando, but has a
secret desire to become a radio talk show host. That desire is not
so secret anymore.
“Carl has a warm and engaging personality on the air, and
because he had to fight his way out of hard circumstances, he is
able to convince others of his correct life style decisions,” said
Salem Sr. VP of Spoken Word Formats, Phil Boyce.
“When I was trying to find my way out of the poor life choices I
had made, I read two of Larry’s books. Now it is such an honor to
sit in his chair for a time, during Larry’s run for governor,” said
Carl.
