Dennehy was a good guy, it appears.
George Noory (yep, that one) used to work here in STL in tv as a news director. He got tired of that and started hosting a straight news talk radio show.
Now...I forget the particulars but Iirc Noory interviewed Dennehy.
All went well.
Fast forward and a guy from another show interviewed him, too. Dennehy said he had a pretty good relationship with Noory and the host twisted it around and joked it sounded like man love.
Well they concocted this big story they were going to tell Noory about Dennehy having a crush on Noory. When they told him Noory was flummoxed. They razzed him about that for a while...as I recall it they had it all set up for Dennehy to call Noory during his show!
A conversation ensued and the cat was let out of the bag.
They still won't let Noory forget about that.
