"The Ron and Fez Show" is a radio talk show hosted by Ron "Tex" Bennington and Fez "Marie" Whatley. Love you so much, Fezzy.Opentheme = North American Scum by LCD Soundsystem By the way… this picture (left) is not on Halloween. We had incredible memories and lifetime of laughs. In her own Twitter post, Gail Bennington said, “Reading the outpouring of love for Fez has been incredible. The show was replaced with Bennington on April 20, 2015. On April 1, 2015, Fez announced his retirement and their final show as a team was April 3. In August 2005, Ron & Fez announced they were moving to XM Satellite Radio. Within a month of their debut the show was syndicated to sister WJFK/Washington. The Ron and Fez Show debuted in morning drive on WKRO-FM/Daytona Beach in 1998 and was so successful they were hired at WNEW/New York in early 2000. His sister snapped these pics of him while he was on the vent, and Fez is oddly proud of them.” He spent a few days on a ventilator and is now breathing on his own. “He flatlined on Tuesday, but was able to be revived by doctors. “Fez had another massive heart attack this week,” Bennington wrote. Bennington has kept fans up to date on Whatley’s ongoing health problems, posting photos of him laying in a hospital bed in March. Whatley had been in poor health for several years and had previous heart attacks in 2005, 2007, 2010 and a massive one in March of this year. #fezwhatley.” Pictured, (l-r): Gail Bennington, Ron & Fez) Our thoughts are with his family who loved him the most and with the people who knew him as a voice on the radio. We are devastated, but we will always remember the laughter through our tears.
