Al Lohman (January 15, 1933, Sergeant Bluff, Iowa – October 14, 2002, Rancho Mirage, California) was a personality and comedian with a long career in American radio from the 1950s through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Among his early career stops was a stint as morning man at New York City top-40 station WABC (AM) when it first adopted a pop music format in 1960. But he's best remembered as a Los Angeles, California radio personality who, along with Roger Barkley, had the top-rated morning drive The Lohman and Barkley Show on KFI Los Angeles through most of the 1970s and early 1980s.[1][2][3][4][5]
Their fame extended beyond the Los Angeles area, as the duo were frequent guests on The Ed Sullivan Show and were hosts of two short-lived game shows. The first was a 1969 NBC daytime series, Lohman & Barkley's Name Droppers, while the second was a syndicated 1979 entry, Bedtime Stories.
