Eww, I read Glenn Beck's bio on Wiki and saw he lives here in CT
He lives in New Canaan. And he was also a DJ for a radio station that I listened to back in the day when I was in my teens (early to late 1990's) called KC101. Yuck, I am sure I know who he was now. He was on a morning show called Glenn and Pat and then with Vinnie Penn (whom I really remember). I guess he has to live somewhere, right? Somehow, his living in a rich, snooty, area of CT really makes me think he is a total fake.

1. I thought he got started with an "internet radio" show he ran through his own website in Tennessee.

2. I don't know, he was on a station in Kentucky in the 1980's before he went to CT

Per Wikipedia:
Beck began his radio career when he won a local radio contest to be a DJ for an hour, and was eventually granted a part-time job. He hosted Christian radio on Saturday, rock on Sunday and country on weeknights. In the mid 80s he worked at WRKA radio in Louisville, Kentucky as a morning-drive DJ. His show was called Captain Beck and the A-Team.

After graduating from high school, Beck pursued his career as a Top 40 DJ. By the time he was in his 20s, Beck was on WKCI-FM (KC101), a Top 40 radio station in Hamden, Connecticut, hosting the local morning show with Pat Gray. Originally the show was billed as the Glenn and Pat Show. When Gray left the show, Beck continued with co-host Vinnie Penn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck
