Tom Joyner treats committee room like radio booth

Tom Joyner can’t seem to stop being a disk jockey.

The syndicated radio host came to the Capitol on Wednesday for a hearing on engaging the electorate and just couldn’t seem to shed his radio hosting habits.

Although Joyner was the first to speak on the issue of voters’ problems in the last election, he kept his mic on for quite some time after he finished. After some instruction from House Committee on House Administration Chairman Robert Brady, he said sheepishly, “Oh,” as the crowd burst into laughter.

He kept saying, “I’m just a DJ,” while explaining his positions, and when he “signed off,” he seemed to forget he was in a committee room (not a radio booth) and said, “This is Tom Joyner.”
