![The Final Schmooze - Steve Somers [Behind The Scenes!]](/img/tr.png)
There was something comforting about listening to Steve late at night. So relaxing.
Agreed. And while I like Sal Licota, his anger schtick would work much much better in the daytime. So replace Moose and Maggie with Sal and CMac, and then WFAN needs to find a younger Steve Somers, a guy who loves NYC sports, while also not taking it so seriously.
@@hd-xc2lz Not a fan of Sal. He's arrogant. They picked the least humble guy to replace Steve
@@Metsfan1986 Sort of true, except lately Steve has occupied the evening slot, where he's being replaced by Keith MacPherson, who sounds like a college radio sports host. The latter has only ever recorded podcasts, zero radio host experience... WFAN dreaming it can attract teenagers to terrestrial radio.
@@hd-xc2lz You're right. Steve has been doing the slot that Keith is going to take over. I'm definitely willing to give Keith a chance.
The station just doesn't appeal to me much anymore. So I haven't been listening much in the past year or so. Definitely taking a turn for the worst.
100% - I spent many late nights studying at Montclair State listening to Steve. I used to say that he got me through college.
Steve Somers here and you there....Thank you for your 34 years kind sir
Of all the big retirements of the last several years on WFAN this one made me the saddest. Enjoy retirement!
Indeed it IS sad to me also. Like the cool knowledgeable uncle who would talk to you about sports and a little bit of everything else.
No more Steve, Mike, Joe, and Tony. NY radio will never be the same.
Thank you gentlemen.
Don't forget Pete Franklin.
And their replacements thus far have underwhelmed.
N the Mink Man
Thanks for the memories Steve Somers
Your right. It will be better!
I'll never forget first listening as a kid overnight under the covers and then in high school in the cafeteria the Sweater and the Smoozer. Great run.
You stole my comment! I was just about to type something very similar. I'm so happy this video popped up on my feed. He is a true legend.
@@tdraghi70 Same here.
I heard that Steve Somers was not thrilled to be working with Russ Salzburg, thinking that Salzburg was too crude and vulgar for mid-morning radio.
First time i called WFAN it was to Steve's show at 3AM to talk about the Mets when i was about 13 years old. He was so kind and generous to a nervous little kid and let me talk about the Mets for like 2 or 3 minutes. An absolute treasure and legend.
Great story
Like Steve Somers, the late, great Bill Mazer was also very polite to young callers to his sports shows on the radio.
Mike Francesca and a very young John Sterling could have acted with a lot more patience and civility to their young callers like Steve Somers and Bill Mazer.
What year was it? I probably heard you.
I heard that call. It was awful!
I called him what a nice man got me through a lot of tough nights
Thanks for the years Steve. You were one in a million
Exactly right - one in a million.
Amen, brothers.
I used to listen to Steve on my alarm clock radio as a kid in the 90s he helped me fall asleep many nights. He will truly be missed.
I had Steve in my ears while studying all night for exams and fell asleep with him on. Thank you for the memories.
Oh man, I will miss this guy so much. Truly the best.
No words to say other than, a real legend across multiple decades and generations
End of an ERA ! It is to bad that we have to get old and more on from the things we did in the past . I remember when fan first started and it always was and still is the class of all radio stations .
Happy retirement Mr. Steve Somers. I have listened to you all your time on WFAN !
The great Steve The Smoozer Somers I grow up with his late night shows a radio legend he will be missed but a well deserved retirement good luck Steve enjoy and goodbye for now Captain Midnight
me here
you there
Steve was a great guy and I always enjoyed listening to him. He kept everyone engaged on the radio and also kept me entertained especially late at night. Enjoy retirement Steve!
STEVE Somers and Joe B... overnights were the best... nothing more to listen too... GL Steve
Havenât listened to him in years but love Steve and his comforting voice. Good luck Steve
Wow I remember listening to WFAN when they first started in 87...especially late night with Steve Somers the voice of late night sports radio! Enjoy your retirement Schmoozer! And God bless you! đđđ
Steve! I haven't been listening to wfan the last few years and had no idea you were leaving. You are seriously the best, were always my favorite since day 1, and will be missed.
The callers made the show, i called a few times and i remember the characters who called, specially Doris from Queens. Thank you Steve Somers for giving me the best radio show in my 51 years of life for 34 years.
Thank You Captain Midnight .. itâs been wonderful
I spent many late nights listening to Steve back in the late 80's/early 90's back in college. Nothing was more New York. Thanks Steve. great times.
Loved Somers since 91. Legend.
Smooziest way to say goodbye. Love Steve.
goodbye smooze! You will be missed. Be well today, and always!
Thanks for the memories and entertainment Steve. Godspeed.
This guy was perfect for the overnight, also Joe B. Steve has that personality and voice for the folks who can't sleep or who works at night. The worse thing the fan did was pairing him up with Russ Salzburg
The sweater and the schmoozer....or like Russ Salzberg said, the jew and the gentile lol
yea that was a disaster
Russ was nothing more than a hack job
One time Russ Salzburg asked Steve Somers, âHey, Schmoozie, did you ever go âdownâ on an elevator?â Mr. Somers was not appreciative of that vulgar attempt at humor.
Me here and you there! What is it! The lightening Rod! Between me you and the lamppost! I use these phrases in my everyday vocabulary. Steve is one of a kind. I will miss the only guy on the radio that refers to the Mets as the Metropolitans.
@coolguy1127 Lol yes, his one liners were and are great! And technically they are the ' Metropolitan's" so Stevie is right. I used to work overnight and be glued to the radio listening to him for years. Well, Steve and Art Bell too. Man, we're losing a great one, hopefully he still pops up here and there. It would be amazing' if one day he showed up to the booth with Gary, Keith and Ron for a few innings. The end of an era for sure. Sux, man.
WOW!! Thank you Steve for the many years!!! In my younger years I would dial into the WFAN during the overnight just to listen to you before I fell alseep.
Some folks would leave the TV on to fall alseep but I left the FAN on. Just to listen to Steve's comedic take on the Mets, Giants and the Knicks during the 90s. Thank you Schmoozer!!!!
I have been listening to him since High School, and on my next birthday I am going to turn 50.
Steve is one of those guys that is a fixture.
Tommy, i am the same age as you. Listened to him until i left NY in '97. He is the best.
Same here! His show was my lullaby- probably why I'm such a night crawler today
The final shmooze đ„Č
He was the greatest listener. I am honored that I got on the show three times.
Take care Mr. Somers, all the best!
Thanks Steve! One of the best!
Steve and Jerome going at it,was radio comedy gold
Do you remember when Mr, Somers gave Jerome $50.00 so that Jerome could afford to take some girl
on a date?
Imagine that poor woman, having to listen to Jerome ranting and raving non-stop, complaining how lousy the Yankees were?
Who can forget Jerome from the Bronx ??đ€Łđ€Ł
@@priest21 Jerome was out of his mind,most times he called in,but he was passionate and funny.he wanted every yankee fired at one time or another
thanks Steve...you are a legend in New york sports talk
Loved listening to WFAN for Mike and the Mad Dog, but adored listening to the Schmooze. I'm going to miss that man. God Bless you.
Really the ONLY one on the Station that covered or even cared about hockey.
Gonna miss you Steve!
An iconic voice on the iconic station
The only one who cared to make the intercity hockey rivalries fun. With every Fishsticks fan who called in, you could hear it in his voice the thrill of talking to Steve.
Benigno covered hockey plenty back when he did the overnights in the 90's and early 2000's.
1979 Toyota Corolla hatchback. Ice cold black labels for the boys. Driving around late night in high school listening to the Schmoozer. Pure class and a radio legend.
When I moved to NYC over 25 years ago I remember hearing him on the FAN and to my great surprise realizing that this was the same guy that I watched doing the local TV sports in Sacramento CA back when I was in high school!! He had crazy perm hair back then. What a run he's had!
Thank You Steve
Thank you Steve. I remember I started listening to you in 1993. I want to wish you a very happy retirement. Well deserved. I will miss you.
Grew up with this man on some very slow and lonely overnights. God bless Steve!
I love you steve listen to you from 1988
Steve has made decent my sleepless nights . He's a true radio legend.
We could hear him up in NH and I listened occasionally at night since 1987 ....nice guy
Bye Steve ! Thanks for keeping me company after the Knick and Ranger games. And when I randomly woke up for no reason at all, lol !
It feels like a section of our lives has come to a close. My best memory is being away at college, when wfan could barely be heard, only at night, deep into upstate New York. After the Mets won game 3 in 2000 there was no way I could sleep. It felt like we had a chance when I listened to Steve.
LEGEND!!!
Class act enjoyed listening to Steve from Philadelphia.
Thank you for 34 great years! Youâre the best!đđŸđ
God Bless him!!
Steve Somers, a class act. Your voice on the air will be missed. Thanks for getting me thru all those years of working the midnight shift. I couldn't have made it thru those hours without you.
Working the graveyard shift as a rookie cop 30 years ago..I smoozed with Steve many a nights. Legend.
Steve was the absolute best. As a kid I tuned in and dealt with frequent static on my small am bedside radio to listen at night.
a Philly guy I listened to him all the time. Calling the Eagles the Cheesestakes , getting on Hextall all the time etc. He done in a way I couldn't even get upset. Best of luck Captain Midnight
Sir Groin!!đđ
Legend.
i'll miss yah steve
Thank you Steve! Kindest host ever! Never talked down to a caller and gave everyone a chance. :)
Truly a great great great voice đ
Got me through some tough times as a kid, in the middle of the night when I didn't want think about things.
New York sports radio GOD đ»
Was just about to post something like this used to listen to him with my bro when we shared a bunk bed lol
@@nroman387 i did too
Jeez Iâve been listening to you there Steve while I was here for so many years when I lived in NJ in the 80's and 90's.
God bless you Steve and many thanks for the countless hours I enjoyed your show
As a young hard working teen in 1991 i was introduced to the wfan...I listened to them Ever since..Thanks schmooze for the times i just needed to hear something funny and good during some rough patches..Salute
First time seeing this guy in person đą listen to him for like 7 years now kool dude
Gonna miss the smoozer.i go back to the beginning for the fan and Steve was there.1987 they started snd I started my job as a kid to the u.s.postal service.Its been quite a ride Steve thanks for the memories
His opening monologues were pure brilliance. No one will ever come close to his creativity when he was at his peak. The FAN will never be the same...class is gone.
NY radio legend. Thanks for being a true original and part of so many lives. Best wishes Schmoozer!!
Everytime I was on the road late night would look for Steve to bring me home with a smile. Thanks for the memories.
I was listening from day one Suzyn Waldman and Steve Somers. Steve kept me company many nights. I'd like to say thank you and God Bless the schmoozer. You will be missed.
No fucking way! God Bless him
Steve Somers is and will always be a sports radio broadcasting legend. God Bless you Steve !!
The schmoozer will be missed!!!
I grew up listening to him
Good bye and good night smoozer. You will forever be our Captain Midnight. Thank you for always being there. We will miss you Steve. â€ïžđŻ
God bless you Steve we will miss you.
Part my childhood gone. Will forever be remembered with Doris from Regal Park ...Love you CAPT. MIDNIGHT!!!
Got me thru my jail days on rikers Island 4 years in a row this my man's
Honestly, it gets me emotional. I have been listening to Steve since I was in junior high school...gonna miss him
I'll never forget listening to him when I'd tuck my girlfriend in at the time and left her house to go home. Wow. He hit the spot so well. Mellow, low key funny, and brought clarity
Love you Steve,been listening to you since the overnights.You gave me,so many wonderful laughs and memories.You will truly be missed,youâre one of a kind my friend.
Can't say I was a loyal listener but I will say I'll miss this man. He was always there when I wanted to get caught up late at night. I always enjoyed him and his take on many things not just sport's. God bless đ đ Steve like me enjoy your retirement.
Steve!!! Thank you for your years! We will miss you dearly!!!!!
As a freshman in college back in '87 I listened to Steve schmooze on the nightshift, every night. I feel like an uncle has retired and now I can't get to hear him talk about all things sports, life and just being a fan. Steve will truly be missed. By the way, it wasn't until last year that I recognized Eddie (from Boomer and Gio) as the "Eddie on the other side of the glass"...just WOW! So long Steve!
I've been schmoozing with Somers from the very beginning.....THANK YOU STEVE!!!
Heâs such a class act đ
I'm from New Jersey and I moved years ago to NC. This guy's great
Listening to Somers was one of my greatest memories from living in NYC.
I listened to Steve every night at my overnight job in 1993-94. Hits me in the feels.
Going back to the "Sweater and the Shmoozer" I always appreciated his style and commentary
I loved listening to Somers. The FAN is officially dead in my mind as Steve was the last of the originals at the station. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the FAN beginning back in 1993 when I began my corporate life as a daily automobile commuter. Imus in the am, Mike & the dawg midday, and usually somers on those late, late night drives. Change is constant and life moves on but Iâd love a few hours to go back and listen to that original like up one more time.
Steve looks like an old time rocker hes great
Go home and fill the bong up and get totally wasted Steve! Thanks for all the years!!
I moved from NY years ago, and I'm not a NY sports fan, but Steve leaving is sad as he was the best of WFAN after Mike & the Dog. God Bless Steve.
god bless steve. i use to listen to him when i was younger and would fall asleep to his clever one liners.
Enjoy whatâs next Steve.. thanks for all these years.
We love you Steve!
God bless and thank you for 34 years .So smooth đ. What!!!
Steve, well done sir. Thank you.
His voice at night was almost spiritual
He made my night when I work Midnight. Thank u Sir .
Im filled with sadness...i love the shmooze...always will.
The best
