For other people named Paul Harvey, see Paul Harvey (disambiguation).Paul Harvey Aurandt, Jr., known on-air as Paul Harvey, Jr. (born 1948 or 1949), is an American pianist, radio broadcaster and a former host of News and Comment on ABC Radio Networks. He is the only son of Paul Harvey and his wife Lynne.
Paul Jr.'s version of the show was significantly different in that it was taped in advance (as opposed to the same-day recordings Paul Sr. performed), and focused on non-current topics such as "scientific developments, medicine, unusual phenomena and other stories that are not directly connected to the day's news," and often contains "no time-sensitive or topical material." As a result, several stations have either moved the program to less prominent time slots or dropped it outright.
Paul Jr. hosted the morning edition of News and Comment starting in April 2008, when his father left that edition of the show. He ended the broadcasts by saying, "Now that's news." Prior to this, Paul Jr. announced the intro and outro bumpers leading in and out of each show and helped write some of the scripts, including The Rest of the Story, another Paul Harvey feature.
Harvey was removed from News and Comment without explanation after his father's death. Gil Gross replaced him, but lasted only three weeks before News and Comment was canceled outright and replaced with The Huckabee Report, a commentary show hosted by Mike Huckabee.
