Fed: Akmal Saleh quits radio
Comedian AKMAL SALEH is quitting radio to write a book and make a documentary movie.
SALEH says he's had a great ride with Nova during his two years hosting the popular
national drive time show The Wrong Way Home .. but has decided on a new direction.
Joking his time with Nova has almost been a job .. he says they expected him to show
up daily and stay for the full three hours each weekday .. and that's unreasonable.
SALEH says he's looking forward to writing a book after securing a deal with Random
House .. and will return to his birthplace of Egypt to make a documentary.
Nova says an announcement about the future of the show and timeslot is expected in
the next couple of weeks .. and it's not yet known whether co-hosts CAL WILSON .. who's
expecting a baby .. and ED KAVALEE will stay on.
