Billy Madison Show Challeges Charles Barkley


The Billy Madison Show on Cox Media Group's KIIS-FM (99.5 KISS FM)/San Antonio has issued a challenge to former NBA player Charles Barkley. The show has offered a $5,000 donation to a local women's charity of Barkley's choice if he will come to the KISS Studios to bury the hatchet with Billy Madison show producer/co-host "Nard." This challenge stems from Barkley's insults to the city of San Antonio, and specifically to the women of San Antonio.

Earlier this week, "Nard" approached Barkley in public on May 21 to ask what his problem was with "big women." Barkley's profanity-laced response has now received national exposure.

Madison's show has requested that Barkley appear to explain his comments, if and when he returns. In return for his appearance, 99.5 KISS & The Billy Madison Show will provide a $5,000 donation to San Antonio women's charity of Barkley's choice.
