Despite its emphasis on humor, Mancow in the Morning can be extremely political. While Muller calls himself a libertarian, critics have attacked him as a right-wing demagogue. Although the show routinely satirizes politicians of both parties, Muller takes strong positions on the abortion and right to die debate, and has endorsed Republican candidates.
While the show does address serious topics, coming first and foremost is a laugh to wake up Louisville each morning. Recurring characters on the show have included "Wade the Gimp," a handicapped man confined to a wheelchair; "Cowboy Ray," a bad comedian; the "Big Goony," a mentally retarded worker in the building; and "Crazy Mary," a schizophrenic. The show\'s regular programs include such things as "Skid Theater," where the staff pays homeless people to act out lines from movies, then have people call in and try to guess which one.
