Billy Moses (September 3, 1988) is an American radio personality, television host, comedian, and actor. Early life In 2005, Billy and a few of his friends decided that putting a TV show together would be cool. They traveled down to the Time Warner Cable Studios, in Bellflower, California, and picked up a public access slot a year later. His friends did not want to appear on TV, so they bowed out, but Billy fulfilled his commitment to finish a season of programming. Radio Career Billy picked up his first radio job, in 2006, when he became an on-air personality for the Cerritos College campus station, WPMD (AM 1700); 'The Billy Mo Show' became a fixture of the 5PM to 6PM evening drive slot. Billy tried to convince the program director, Dennis Clare, to change direction, away from playing Top-40 music to an all-talk format, allowing Billy to air his opinions. Dennis was hesitant, but eventually approved the move. Three months later Billy was fired. After Billy moved onto the Internet and created a fan website about the comedian, Adam Carolla. This was hugely successful, but the legal department at CBS Radio told Billy to take it down or face legal action. Unexpectedly, he received a further call from CBS, asking if he would develop and run the official website for Carolla's new show, The Adam Carolla Show starting in February 2006, and he seized the opportunity. Sadly, he became a victim of CBS Radio's cost-cutting, 8 months later, and was one of the 3000 staff laid off. On August 26th, 2006 Billy made a racial slur on The Adam Carolla Show. He told Adam Carolla and Teresa Strasser that he thinks there should be "less black people on the Metro bus."
