Spot
The Producer

Producer Spot aka Christian is the PRO-ducer of the Covino & Rich Show. His many duties include keeping Covino & Rich in check when their ADD kicks in, being the official nussie-wrangler for the show, doing things that Covino & Rich aren’t man enough to do, and constantly being ridiculed. He is also responsible for turning the second day of the work week into a cultural phenomenon.

Spot originated in the hallways of the pop station in NYC where he first met Dicky Doo. When asked the question, “Why do they call you Spot?” he has been instructed to say, “Because I hit it every time.” However, the true origin comes from his early days as an intern. He would follow around his boss like a dog, and because he did commercials, which in the radio world are known as “spots,” he was dubbed Spot and it stuck. Spot remained at the pop station in NYC amongst the clutches of terrestrial radio, until a hand from above reached down and pulled him into the promised land of Sirius XM, Maxim Radio, and The Covino & Rich Show.

As a member of “The Show,” Spot has grown considerably as a person; however, he still faces the constant challenges from Covino & Rich – including making phone calls to girls and recording them for the show, seeing dating coaches, and giving up masturbation until he gets ass, among other things.

Spot currently resides in Jersey City, NJ, where he lives with Rich's ex... um, awkward!

Interesting facts about Producer Spot:
-He drives a stick like a real man
-His favorite day of the week is a Tuesday
-He only gratifies himself once or twice a week
-He enjoys having tickle fights with the interns, even the male ones
-He might have had sex once, we’re not sure

Mark
a.k.a Mark Zito the Booty Bandito, the rated rookie, radio phenom, etc.
Intern for the C & R Show

A face only a mother could love. Normally that’s said as a joke, but in this case, it’s serious. His college station hates him. His old high school hates him. And although it’s not confirmed, he’s pretty sure that most of his one night stands weren’t big fans. But regardless of what you’ve heard about him in the past, all you need to know right now is the following: Mark Zito is The Show’s rated rookie, and the guys have high hopes for him in the world of radio.

A native of Rhode Island and a Syracuse University student, Mark will begin his senior year in the fall. But, until then, he’ll be in-studio with the guys everyday of the week taking your calls and immersing himself in The Show. Zito’s already made a little bit of a name for himself in the industry, interviewing celebrities from around the globe and hosting America’s only live syndicated college radio program.

Yeah, we know, we know…the show normally has a hot college female intern. But, hey, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad, right? Plus, what he lacks in cup size he makes up for in effort…you know, sorta.
