Stevens & Grdnic (Ron Stevens and Joy Grdnic, the latter's surname pronounced "GRID-nick") are American comedians having worked as market radio morning hosts,[1] and written for network TV comedies.[2]

Overview

They released two Grammy-nominated comedy albums, Somewhere over the Radio and Retail Comedy at Wholesale Prices, the latter album featured the sketch, "Fast Food".

Stevens & Grdnic's work is syndicated on more than 450 radio stations by All Star Radio Networks, and some of their recordings have been featured on Dr. Demento's radio show.[3][4]

Their recording "Commercials on 45", inspired by Stars on 45 medleys, consisted of parodies of commercials set to music.

Fast Food

Fast Food is a two-and-a-half minute audio comedy skit about a frustrating encounter at a fast-food drive-thru where a customer tries to order "a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a large orange drink." The skit was first broadcast on radio on 4 July 1982, but written and performed earlier.[5]
