Growing up in Freeport I remember listening to the BIG610KILT!!

Especially Hudson and Harrigan. Whatever happened to them?

Now that's a good question on whatever happened to them 🤔

There were multiple people playing those roles over the years.

Fred Olson and Randy Hames were not the original Hudson and Harrigan. 

KILT's original H&H of the 1960s and early 70s were Mac Hudson Roach and Paul Menard, the original Irv Harrigan. Menard was also Harrigan of the Charlie and Harrigan show at KLIF in Dallas.

Roach and Menard dominated Houston radio from 1967 through 1972 when they moved to San Diego after owner Gordon McClendon sold KILT to a big broadcasting conglomerate. They finished their radio careers in San Diego. Sadly, both have passed on. Mac Hudson Roach died in 1997. Paul "Harrigan" Menard died in 2018. 

Speaking just for myself, they and the characters they created were just hysterical to listen to. "JimBob Jumpback" and "John Daniel Douglas Moynihan the Third But My Momma Calls Me Petey."

IMHO, NONE of the H&H's who kept the act on life support in Houston over the years were half as funny and creative as the originals.
