- Worked at WMCA radio station in New York City for 34 years. O'Brien along with several other disc jockeys were known as the "Good Guys" during the 1960s.
O'Brien also had used a wisecracking sidekick character (similar to the Chipmunks) known as "Benny" to deliver one liners back to O'Brien while he was broadcasting.
In 1972 Joe O'Brien became the first on-air personality for radio station, WHUD 100.7 Peekskill,N.Y., where he remained for 14 years until he semi- retired in 1986. Another "Good Guy" Ed Baer took over for O'Brien in 1986 had he too stayed for 14 years until 2000 when he semi-retired.
Bon Jour Mon Ami was how O'Brien opened his show (with the song that followed)
Ended his show by saying "Thanks for listening, if your in a car thanks for the ride"
