Air America Radio (www.airamerica.com) is excited to present the debut of American Afternoon with guest host Richard Belzer, well-known for his work as Det. John Munch on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and numerous other TV shows including Homicide, The X-Files and The Beat. Starting today April 14 and continuing all week, the veteran comic, actor, talk-show host and author will be joined by special guests for an entertaining, fast-paced and engaging afternoon listening experience to Air America Radio broadcast, satellite and Internet audiences nationwide.

In the coming weeks, American Afternoon with...will feature a series of additional top celebrity hosts.

Belzer has honed his life experiences into barbed comedic material drawn from other former jobs including paperboy, teacher, census-taker, jewelry salesman and dockworker. He began his career in show business with a starring role in Groove Tube, the counterculture film that went on to become a cult classic. Since then, Belzer’s comedic talents have been featured in every entertainment medium from off-Broadway (The National Lampoon Show with Bill Murray, Gilda Radner and John Belushi) to radio (Brink and Belzer on WNBC) to film (Fame, Author, Author, Night Shift and Scarface). He also starred in the six-part comedy Showtime series The Richard Belzer Show, and hosted both the live Lifetime talk show, Hot Properties, and Court TV’s Crime Stories.

We hope you’ll tune in to hear Richard do what he does best; we welcome your feedback!
