I believe Rush Limbaugh started his career off as a comedian. For real, ala Howard Stern. This true?

Question

I seem to remember a long time ago before he took himself seriously that he was starting to do okay as a comedian on a radio show. Now he's just funny.

Answer 1

He started as a disk jocky

Answer 2

Rush Limbaugh is a highly paid spokesperson for the big business and radical right wing of the Conservative Republicans. He is their puppet.

He says what he is told to say and if you think it is funny...it is sometimes. He spreads misinformation that is often construed as the TRUTH by those who are "dittos".

You will never hear the truth from Rush. He is the voice for the Conservatives and as times get worse, and as resources become scarce the words he says and the message he brings is SAD and TRAGIC for the little guy who is just trying to survive.  

Answer 3

Rush Limbaugh is nothing but joke.

Answer 4

Rush started as a disk jockey at a local radio station in Cape Giraudeau, Missouri, and would eventually do traditional DJ bits, including some light-hearted reparte, in Pittsburgh.  After working for a while for the Kansas City Royals, he started with talk-radio in Sacramento, where he was discovered for nationwide audiences to be a spokesman for an under-represented viewpoint.

Love him or hate him, he was never actually a comedian.

Answer 5

I don't know but Rush is not funny. He's never made me laugh. Ever.
