April 15th, 2025

So incredibly sad that that former longtime legendary KROQ/Los Angeles on-air personality Jed The Fish passed away on Monday (4/14) from lung cancer at the age of 69. Jed spent 34 years at KROQ from 1978-2012 and was the original host of the weekly syndicated show, Out Of Order.

Gene “Bean” Baxter and Swedish Egil called in to share stories of The World Famous Jeddum Fishum and all the memories live on YouTube. Find more HERE
