The popular fictitious character Donnie Baker, played by stand-up comedian Ron Sexton, is a regular on the widely broadcast US radio show “The Bob & Tom Show.”
The program was established on March 7, 1983, by Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold at Indianapolis, Indiana’s radio station WFBQ. Since January 6, 1995, the program has been widely syndicated.
A frequent character on the show recognized for his genuine redneck accent and timely calls is Donnie Baker, masterfully portrayed by Ron Sexton.
He tells funny stories about his close friend’s occasionally relevant events, always ending them with a punchline. One of Donnie’s recurring plots centers on his persistent efforts to sell a boat, which have given rise to an amusing dispute with his fictitious “neighbor to the north,” Tony Mitchell.
