KLAC AM Sports Radio "The Jim Healy Show" 9/13/82 Los Angeles

[@storage.castlehawaii3099]

Best damn radio sports show EVER - really miss you Jim Healy...

[@joeblow9931]

I was a bank courier in OC in the early 80's. Listened to Jim ever night on my way back from San Clemente

[@ciesaro]

The GREAT Jim Healy passed away seventeen years ago today (July 22, 1994). I listened to his show literally every day from 1977 to when he retired in April 1994. I still miss him.

[@dariowiter3078]

ciesaro We ALL do to this day & age. 😃

[@pSH1951]

never get tired of these classics....

[@jackweubanks]

Great memories! Thanks for posting this. Healy was the best. I used to record every show on a cassette tape to listen to at work, so I wouldn't miss a single joke! I also got most of my sports news just from listening to his show! :)

[@jimaroo100]

Wow! Thanks for posting this. I loved Jim Healy. He was the most fun on radio ever.

[@bboomer1948]

Old school LA radio was Jim Healy. Gawd, I miss those days and The Jim Healy Show.

[@kimberlysmith579]

I worked at KLAC- KMET in 81-84. Yes it was a country/wester AM station. We covered all Laker games. Jim Healy came on at 6 every evening. Then KLAC was changed management. Most of us went to KMPC big band music. Yes I can say he was one of a kind. R.I.P. you've made all of us laugh.

[@razorbackfilms]

Kimberly Smith I discovered him in the mid 80’s and though I knew who he was I’d never listened to him. Once I discovered him I was hooked.

[@dariowiter3078]

Yup, and Jim was well-known for his boxing announcing from The Olympic on KCOP Ch. 13 that he did from 1970 to 1978. 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊 😁😁😁😁😁

[@haroldaranda8042]

KLAC = LA Country.

[@dalethelander3781]

IIRC, KLAC was the premiere country station in the western U.S., a 50K watt blowtorch. The Mighty 'MET is still legendary today.

[@kimberlysmith579]

@@dalethelander3781 Unfortunately Paraquat Kelly is in poor health. “The Mighty Met”

[@mrbmac0509]

I worked in Southern Orange County and lived in Riverside. Jim Healy made my ride home at night actually enjoyable. I could not wait for him to come on the air and If i got home before the show was over, I'd wait and listen. He was by far the best. I am so glad I found him on KZbin! Thank you to whoever posted these clips.

[@augustwarren6251]

One of the Great Sports reporters I have ever heard.

[@johnkuperman]

Loved these shows!! Thank you for posting!! Miss shows like this...

[@economicist2011]

Wow the "chickens**t" soundbite at the beginning was one of Healy's go-tos on the show... this is like watching a birth video. Loved this show on the drive ride home as a kid when I got picked up later in the afternoon.

[@jackskeets1971]

More shows please! This is great!

[@SteveWheeler-t5t]

A true pioneer and very funny show good job Jim Healy. Ŕip! Buddy

[@samfernando2002]

Always made sure I got home by 5:30 to listen to Jimmy. Still hoping his son, Patrick will play repeats of the shows someday. Who goofed, " I've got to know". "Garvey would of made a great cricket player".

[@rodriguez0698]

Reminds me of my late father, he loved this guy

[@terrytyler3139]

rodriguez0698 my late father loved the lasorda outbursts

[@Sargebri]

Yep. At the time KLAC was a country station and they aired the Lakers. When KMPC turned to sports talk that's when I really got into him. I was in tears from laughing so hard.

[@jackweubanks]

Same! I used to listen to his show with headphones on at work, and would embarrass myself in front of my coworkers many times, by laughing out loud uncontrollably! :-)

[@EarlSkakel]

WOW I put his name on here figuring I'd find nothing and can't THANK YOU enough for putting up these clips as not a day goes by at 5:30 that I don't think of him and how much I enjoyed his show.

[@storage.castlehawaii3099]

love the ad for Datsun - offering 12.7% financing all new cars and trucks... 1982 baby!

[@rentslave]

Then Reagan made America great again.

[@alworkedup]

Hearing Jim is like hearing a ghost from the past :)

[@gsuburban]

Bavaccua couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat

[@MrAccordionPimp]

I believe KLAC's Format was country music at the time of this broadcast, not Sports Radio, Theey Did Run Jim Healy Nightly as a Country Station.

[@terrytyler3139]

my late father would imitate healy saying is it true? a certain dodger manager then lasorda with the phrase aw thats a bunch of bull and the kingman tirade.i miss you Dad and healy

[@ritchie9030]

I'll tell you one thing I miss, it's the horses at the Pomona fair.

[@kenwah52]

I'd buy a good CD if the old KLAC mgmnt could produce his program.

[@hudentdw2]

I love it I love it I love it..ah blow it out! I miss Jim we need him today more than ever, say 2021 at least I do!

[@joe-Rogaine]

1:05 "The should have fined the fat little italian 500 too" 😂.

[@haroldaranda7532]

Too bad Jim wasn't there to lend commentary on OJ Simpson's murder case.

[@janettemcclelland2959]

How did you find this? My mom heard this in the car and thought it was "weird". She was laughing so hard after the Lasorda Bevacqua comments and the requisite bleeps that we had to pull the car over. On the 405. She became a Healy fan after this.

[@rodriguez0698]

We use to listen together, thank you

[@deloysterns]

Have argued for years that Tapes of Healy should be must listen to anybody wanted to get into radio industry.Do you realize Healy ran the board and fired the 10 cart machines he used on his live program..

[@TheKjbleu]

Nice! How did you get this?

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

OJ Simpson reference....

[@wolf-sv9eu]

Who was it that was always giggling on Jim Healy's show?

[@SteveCarras]

+wolf1962 According to Wikipedia (which can be Wrong-a-pedia), it's sports manager NORM SHERRY.

[@20alphabet]

They sure don't make 'em like Jim Healy anymore!

[@KoreAmBear]

Who has the Ray Malavasi falling asleep on the phone clip?

[@deloysterns]

i do..😆

[@creates100]

wish someone was doing this now. it's hilarious. before my time though.

[@RobDog65]

Evil snicker = Norm Sherry. “Oooooh, WHEEEE!” = Rico Carty. Howard Cosell IMPRESSION = Al Michaels!

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

And the immortal Jerome Brown succinctly asking, "Did the Japanese sit down with Pearl Harbor before they bombed 'im"?.....hehehe

[@deloysterns]

And of course Jerome said "We Didn't Come Here To Act Like Monkeys".

[@dariowiter3078]

Rest in peace, Tommy Lasorda(1927-2021). Say "Hi!" to Dick Williams if you see him in heaven. 😁😁😁😁😁 ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

[@Sargebri]

Bleeping Bevaqua who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a bleeping boat.lol RIP Jim.

[@dalethelander3781]

That's nothing. "You're asking me about Kingman's performance? He hit 3 fucking home runs! Batted 7 in!" Host: "8."

[@bigmetal16]

"Ah that's a bunch of bull"

[@janettemcclelland2959]

That was my mom's favorite Healy sound effect,along with Dick Williams' "You talk about 'chicken (bleep)'".

[@dariowiter3078]

bigmetal16 (as Jim Healy) "I don't make 'em up, pally!" 😝

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

My favorite is: "And what is the name of that river that runs through San Antonio? The San Antonio River runs right through the heart of downtown Los Angeles."

[@bigpapi3636]

Was that big Joe McDonald in the photo at 5:12?

[@terry7375]

Oj the Goat

[@ronwinship4926]

*She's a wonderful lady....and my apologies to her!" regarding Marge Shott.

[@Jumja365]

The "wonderful lady" comment was one-time NE Patriot owner Victor Kiam, regarding reporter Lisa Olson, who was sexually harassed by Patriot players in 1990.

[@dariowiter3078]

That's "She's a lovely lady and my apologies to her," ya dick! 😣

[@Martin-if6co]

You call that Dodger Blue ?

[@aalewisiii]

12.7 annual percent financing.

[@haroldaranda8042]

A waterfall; a waterfall!

[@martinlynch2008]

Truly classic, Dodger tradition,is to make the fucker pay.
