The host of “America at Night” on Westwood One, who replaced former host Jim Bohannon in October 2022.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That talk host is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That talk host is bound to get you,
Talk host, talk host, talk host, talk host, talk host...mmm...
(female vocal)
Rich Valdés,
Start in to host, then soon, you’ll be hosting,
Rich Valdés,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
He’s a talk sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
That’s the host that’s putting the world on its feet,
Rich Valdés,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Rich Valdés,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, caller lines one, two, three,
You’re with Rich Valdés!
(vocal trio)
Rich Valdés,
Start in to host, then soon, you’ll be hosting,

He’s a talk sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,

Rich Valdés,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Rich Valdés,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Caller lines one, two, three,
You’re with Rich Valdés, whoa!
