message: I noticed that the biographic details were lacking, if not erroneous. Jonah's father, Todd Hilliard aka Fez Whatley may be in "software", but he is most well known as a former stand up comic and radio DJ currently working on the Ron & Fez show. --71.247.208.15 23:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Parentage 

message: No conclusions needed to be "jumped" to, and if you did indeed hear the program, you'd know that. The fact you don't sign your comment (An IP at least) makes we wonder about your motivations for removing the information.
Now, if you happen to be his Dad, or someone close, and feel that connecting the dots publically is not in the interest of the family, I'd understand the deception, and would refrain from reverting the page to reinstate this fact. However, when it's made public on a internationally heard radio program, you can't say it's not already in the public domain.
If you are reverting it a fanboyish effort to support "Fez's" existence as real person over that of a character played by a very talented comedian, then it can be applauded, but has no place in an encyclopedia of facts.
As for me, I'm a fan of the program, and heard what I heard. I made sure I heard correctly before making the edit. I didn't even seek out his listing to do so. I was only looking for information about his career, and ran across this entry in a search engine. It was the comment that his father was "in software" that I found odd, and corrected. (Although he may indeed have investments in software too, it's not what he's best known for)--24.47.145.73 00:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I changed it back to software for now. I don't want to spread this information around if it isn't true, especially considering that it looks like the IMDB copied us now and put up something about his father being Hilliard. There are too many things that don't add up - like the different last names. Aside from that, this reliable article  explicitly says his father is in software.

text: Thanks for conceding. It's kind of hard to decide what to do when two people show up with conflicting accounts of the same radio show. I hope it'll turn up somewhere soon if true. Mad Jack O'Lantern 04:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  And you are....? 

message: You know, if I had to choose any of the humorous comments made in the program on that day to substantiate the character of Fez as a real person to counter the comments and allusions made indicated that he was Jonah's dad, those would be the ones. Good work picking those out.
I'm going to take a wild guess that you also believe that Fez had a girlfriend in Niagra Falls, Ontario Canada as well. :)
Now, for those who listen to the audio on that day, and I mean all of it, you'll hear what I'm speaking of, and it's rather touching.
So again, towing the Fez party line is applaudable, but this is the Wikipedia. Hell, I wouldn't call in and call him "Todd" you know. I've been a fan of the show since they started on WNEW and understand the show. It's just that he put this out there, and this article gave conflicting information about him. If it gave no information on his dad at all, I doubt I'd have even bothered. --24.47.145.73 19:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand the Fez Whatley is a character on a radio show, but your comments made it sound like they had introduced Jonah as Todd's son. Don't insult my intelligence and act like I think Batman is real. Even though Todd plays Fez on the radio, any article mentioning Jonah's father would probably say that he hosts a radio show. What was said on the show that made you be so confident that Todd was Jonah's father that you ran to Wikipedia to make sure it was on here? --uberdog 19:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well you don't seem to have any proof to back this up, besides "listen to the show". I have listened already and the only thing that sticks out is Fez saying he went to school with Jonah's uncle, despite having also said he met Jonah's father through "their drinking." You can argue that this alludes to Todd being Jonah's father, but it's not proof. The only "prodding" I heard from Ron was the usual stuff making fun of Fez for being a fake radio host.--uberdog 20:42, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Jonah attended the premiere of Flushed Away, probably because he's a fan of DreamWorks. Cast and crew members of the film attended the premiere, as well as DreamWorks fans. 173.75.246.207 (talk) 01:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

message: I have seen two IP change the birthdate to the same one. The only source we have for his birthdate is IMBD which could be wrong. Anyone want to email him to confirm?--Canoe1967 (talk) 14:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing that out. I probably reverted at least one or two of the changes to his birthdate. IMDb is not a reliable source. Therefore, I have removed the birthdate from the article. If someone can find a reliably sourced date, fine. I did a cursory search and found nothing.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
