unlike most talk shows, the show uses a disc jockey to supply music rather than a band. originally, the role was filled by los angeles-based dj scott k, who lasted only a few weeks. he was later replaced by tony okungbowa, who djed through season 3. due to his growing acting career, okungbowa left the show, and a few guest djs were brought in to try out for the position. tony was replaced by actor/dj jon abrahams for the fourth-season premiere. abrahams stayed on the show for one season, and also left as his acting career grew. ted stryker of kroq, was the dj for the fifth season. stryker stayed for one season until okungbowa returned. in a 2012 episode, dj pauly d from "jersey shore" deejayed when okungbowa was promoting his cd.
