Listen Up Broadcasters, Asking A Comedian To Be A Guest On Your Radio Program Is No Laughing Matter

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - April 27, 2016 - PRLog -- In one of the most curious entertainment cases in recent memory, Gary Garver, formally of the Howard Stern Show and the host of KCAA Radio's "Controlled Chaos" Morning Show faced off against comedian Dave Shelton at the People's Court in Stanford Connecticut in January of this year. The episode will air on Thursday May 5th 2016.

Shelton originally filed the case in Los Angeles against Gary Garver and also against Fred Lundgren, the stations CEO. Shelton claimed he had been promised compensation for his appearances on Garver's KCAA Morning Show. Garver and Lundgren insisted that no such promises were made and that Mr. Shelton's appearances on KCAA provided publicity for the comedian that were equal to the value of his performances and making such trades are the standard exchange for radio appearances.

The People's Court heard about the case and asked that it be remanded to their jurisdiction. The LA Court approved the change in venue after all parties agreed to abide by The People's Court decision.

Shelton and Garver traveled to the People's Court in Stamford, Connecticut on January 20th 2016, where the case was tried and decided.

On the same day as the trial, Fred Lundgren appeared Pro Se before the California Labor Commission to defend KCAA on a labor grievance filed by Shelton in the same matter. Lundgren was successful in getting that aspect of the case dismissed with prejudice.

To find out who prevailed in the People's Court case, watch the May 5th episode entitled "Ripping Off A Radio Star".
