Interviewed by Steve Harmon The Monk & Kelly show consists of Jonathan
Monk & Dianna Kelly, partners in radio and life! Dianna: Fifteen years together on the show, Sixteen years together as husband and wife. How did we get roped into this gig, anyway? Jonathan: People thought our answering machine was funny and insisted we turn it into a show. I thought they meant a television show, and I was a little disappointed because I always thought we'd make a great sitcom. Dianna: Yeah, but a sitcom only takes 28 minutes...you need a lot more time than that to complete a thought! Jonathan: Thanks
a lot, Dianna...but who's typing the answers for Harmon at the keyboard? Jonathan: Imagine
... going to therapy and getting paid for it! Dianna: And we say, it's a lot easier than dealing with someone you DON'T see 24/7 ... we have to communicate and get everything out on the table right away. Jonathan: So if something is bothering one of us, we have to air it out and be honest. Dianna: And humorous. It's occasionally good show prep, too. Jonathan: I thought that's why we had the kids. Dianna: No, we had them so your folks wouldn't pester us for grandkids. And we thought they'd be able to pay for our retirement in case this radio thing didn't pan out.
Dianna: You want us to be 'The Monks' on the air? Anyone familiar with our show will say no! Jonathan: I just tell 'em
the pictures of kids in my wallet came with the wallet ... it's all fake! Jonathan: ...we're topical, local, informative ... from serious stuff to American Idol, or the nation's fixation with home improvement. Dianna: You only threw in that last part because I asked you to put the electric screwdriver together so I could hang up that shelf. Which you still haven't done. Jonathan: It's a work in progress. Dianna: Just like our show!
