Chris Russo Returns To WFAN...For One Day

If you were listening to WFAN at 1:00 this afternoon, you were expecting the "Mike'd Up" jingle to come on the air, instead one heard a familiar sound. LISTEN HERE!

That's right Chris Mad Dog Russo returned to WFAN. For a one hour special, the Mike and the Mad Dog show was back on the air for the first time since June of 2008.

Russo is celebrating his 50th birthday, and co-host Mike Francesa thought it would be a good idea to bring Russo back for a reunion episode before Russo went on their air with his own program "the Mad Dog Show" on Sirius Satalitte Radio.

The pair joked about what has happened to them in the last 14 plus months since they hosted a show together, including the controversy from February in which Dog went on Howard Stern's show to compare his Super Bowl XLIII guest list to Francesa's.

Mike and Chris went on to analyize the ALCS between the Angles and Yankees, which begins tonight at the Stadium. It is not known whether this will be the last time Russo will appear on the FAN. Rumors swirled beforehand that Russo was thinking about returning to the FAN.
