Chad Benson, known for hosting a show on KTAR and Radio America’s nationally syndicated “The Chad Benson Show,” stepped in to fill the shoes of Mac Watson, who had co-hosted with Gaydos for years.
Gaydos expressed his excitement on Twitter, stating, “Get ready for the ‘Gaydos and Chad’ show! I’ve got to tell you, we can’t wait to launch this new show. It’s going to be a wild ride!”
