Peppard: Free beer for Oprah and Osteen? Kidd Kraddick would want it that way
Among those appearing with Jakes this week in Dallas are Oprah Winfrey and televangelist Joel Osteen.
It’s been a month since Kraddick’s startling death in New Orleans. His morning radio team is carrying on heroically, putting out a top-notch show and getting back into the gag business.
Outside Big Al’s McKinney Avenue Tavern there is a sign that reads “Oprah Winfrey & Joel Osteen Come Eat Free and Sing Karaoke at McKinney Avenue Tavern.” And then, there’s the fine print at the bottom, “Wings and domestic draft only please. (Joel, we have non-alcoholic beer.)”
Oh yeah, Al put up the sign on what would have been Kraddick’s 54th birthday.
“Kidd would have wanted it that way,” joked fellow Kidd Kraddick in the Morning co-host J-Si Chavez.
“Yes,” agreed Kellie Rasberry, ‘because Kidd was all about promoting Al’s bar.”
