Birchibald "Birch" T. Barlow is a right-wing conservative talk show host on the radio station KBBL. He also has a show on Fox News.

Fame

On air (and presumably personally), he is a radical conservative, highlighted by his book, Only Turkeys Have Left Wings. His on air rantings are intentionally engineered to be controversial and to rile up the audience, in order to convince them to call, as does many talk back radio hosts.

On his radio show, he declares himself to be "the fourth branch of government" and "the fifty-first state".

Behind the Laughter

Birch Barlow is a parody of Fox News commentators and his show on Fox News is a parody of left-wing accusation that Fox News has a conservative bias. Barlow's voice and appearance is modeled after commentator Rush Limbaugh.

He has also been a customer at Marge's prescription drug-laden "yard sale", a reference to Limbaugh's Oxycontin addiction scandal.[1]
