Rover's Morning Glory is a syndicated morning radio talk show based at WCKG in Chicago, Illinois.
The show, syndicated in nine radio markets, is hosted by Rover and features co-hosts Duji and Dieter.
The show first aired in Cleveland on March 24, 2003.
The format includes discussion of current events and pop culture, with Rover and Dieter taking the male view and challenging the feminist, liberal viewpoint of Duji.
One popular segment on the show is Friday's "Dare Dieter" in which co-host Dieter performs dangerous or digusting dares submitted by viewers. Past dares have included putting his tongue on an electric bug zapper, kissing a homosexual man named Paco, eating the placenta from a newborn baby, riding a bicycle through drywall and challenging toughman competitor Butterbean to a fight.
Another popular feature on the show is a segment called Homeless Hummers, in which a homeless person attempts to sing a song and listeners call in to guess the song title and the artist to win various prizes like a DVD, gift certificate, etc.
The show puts out an annual calender called the "Miss Morning Glory Calender" in which the show goes around to all the various cities and holds calender search parties. The girls in the calender are all local girls from the various cities and are chosen at the search parties with much crowd participation. The best girl is chosen to be Miss Morning Glory and wins a cash prize of $5,000.
The show got its name after Rover had an erection during the first broadcast.
