context_page_description: George Michael Dolenz Jr. is an American actor, musician, television director, radio personality and theater director, best known as a vocalist and drummer of the 1960s pop/rock band the Monkees.
context_section_description: On January 10, 2005, Dolenz replaced Dan Taylor as the morning disc jockey at oldies radio station WCBS-FM in New York. On June 3, 2005, Dolenz celebrated his 100th show with a special morning show at B.B. King's. In an ironic and controversial twist, that was also his last regular show at the station; at 5:00 pm, WCBS-FM announced that the station would replace its oldies format with a "Jack" format, and fired all of the station's on-air disc jockeys. (However, not all of the station's on-air disc jockeys were actually fired; some were laid off, some were fired, and one retired.)
  However, WCBS-FM had since returned to its oldies format on July 12, 2007, with Taylor again re-assuming his role as the morning disc jockey the following day. Several months later, Dolenz was invited back to the station to do his long-postponed 101st show, and his final in-studio appearance there, by guest-hosting on a three-hour broadcast stint during its Sunday evening "New York Radio Greats" program on February 3, 2008.
