Sam in the Morning with Tory

Sam Hasson

Bio: 

What do I say about myself on my own website? Wait, I could say anything I want: it's MY website! For the sake of good radio I won't tell you my entire life story here. Instead, I invite you discover who I am and what I'm about on the air. Rather than tell you, I'll show you. What drives me is an insatiable curiosity to know and do everything. And then pass on what I have learned to other people. Does that sound like someone who ought to be in radio?

 

In the past twelve years I have had several co-hosts, each great in her own way. It's amazing how I have evolved on the air and the different directions I have taken over the years. I thank all of the listeners who have followed me through the various incarnations of my morning show, the reason this radio station was conceived. sam@latalkradio.com

Tory Shulman

Bio: 

Tory was raised in Washington, DC, just a stone’s throw away from the White House (an action she does not condone). Since she was a child, she wanted to perform, and cut her chops doing nightly stand-up at the dinner table. She eventually progressed to UCB improv, Stand-Up comedy and finally moved to Los Angeles and got her SAG card by being a “bikini double” on CSI-Miami and getting shot in the boob.  She quickly moved up the TV chain, becoming the host of “Movie Up” “Movie Mob” and “Dailies” on ReelzChannel.
After ReelzChannel, Tory started hosting “Last Night on TV” for MSN.com where she had to watch hours of reality TV and recap it in under four minutes. This is the reason she is now fully addicted to The Real Housewives.
Currently Tory is the Pop Culture Correspondent at FOX LA and the co-host on "Sam in the Morning" every weekday on LATalkRadio.com
She currently resides in West Hollywood, California with her husband and two rescue dogs Barnaby and Josie Rose. She performs stand-up weekly at such venues as The Comedy Store, The Viper Room and Flappers. She was just accepted into the World Series of Comedy Festival in Las Vegas.

Show Description: 
Live from Los Angeles every weekday morning Sam and Tory bring you an entertaining and irreverent show that mixes a variety of the day's topics with funny and smart conversation. The show features a breadth of fascinating guests, bestselling authors and celebrities. Enjoy your morning at the office with spicy talk and smart humor. Call in live and chat with us. Show Producer: Sara Hasson
