Howie Carr (born 1952) is an American broadcaster and award winning journalist, and the number one drive-time talk-radio host in the greater Boston area and New England.

The Howie Carr Show

Listeners can call Carr's "chump line" and leave an amusing message which might be played in the third hour of the show each week day . The show also features other contests, like the "Celebrity Death Pool" or the "Wizard of Uhz." In the latter, Carr plays a clip of the senior Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy, and the listeners have to guess how many "uh"s the Senator says.
