The Best Show with Tom Scharpling
''The Best Show with Tom Scharpling'' (formerly ''The Best Show on WFMU'') is a combination music, call-in, and comedy Internet radio show/podcast hosted independently by Tom Scharpling since 2014, which previously aired on New Jersey-based radio station WFMU from 2000-2013. The show's slogan is "three hours of mirth, music, and mayhem."〔(Interview between Tom Scharpling and Ted Leo in ''The Believer'' )〕
''The Best Show on WFMU'' first aired on October 10, 2000, occupying the 9pm-11pm time slot. Starting June 5, 2001, the show was expanded to three hours filling the 8pm-11pm slot, later moving to 9pm-midnight on June 15, 2010. A worldwide audience listened to the show live through WFMU's Internet stream, and many episodes were also archived on the radio station's website. ''The Best Show'' began podcasting its shows, with the music removed due to licensing restrictions, on January 26, 2006. In October 2013, Scharpling announced his intention to end ''The Best Show'' within several months, with the program's finale airing on December 17.〔http://www.avclub.com/articles/newbridge-mourns-as-tom-scharpling-announces-the-e,104920/〕 About one year later on December 16, 2014, Scharpling revived the program independently from his own home at (thebestshow.net ). The current incarnation of ''The Best Show'' continues to air on Tuesday nights from 9pm to midnight Eastern.
The show has listeners and callers around the world, from the United States and Canada, to as far afield as the U.K., Sweden, Japan, New Zealand, and Tasmania. Regular callers and in-studio guests of note include Todd Barry, Andy Kindler, Aimee Mann, Paul F. Tompkins, Ted Leo, John Hodgman, and Patton Oswalt.
==Background==
Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster is a frequent caller to the show, adopting a variety of personae hailing from the fictional and surreal New Jersey suburb of "Newbridge." Frequent Wurster characters include "Philly Boy Roy" (an unflinching supporter of all things Philadelphia), "Timmy von Trimble" (a genetically modified, two-inch-tall racist), and "The Gorch" (a senior citizen from York, Pennsylvania, who claims that the character of The Fonz on the TV show ''Happy Days'' was based on him, without permission).〔(New York Times article on Scharpling and TBSOWFMU )〕 Some of these calls have been released on CD by Scharpling and Wurster's Stereolaffs label.
