Gonzo's next stop was WKRK in Detroit, Michigan, when it was K-Rock, to work for legendary programmer John Gorman. He began working there as host of the PM drive, until the format was changed to "Extreme Radio", during which time he moved to afternoons. When the station changed formats, this time to "FM Talk", he hosted mid-days with co-host Erin Carmen. After a few months, Erin left Detroit to work in Chicago, and Gonzo continued hosting solo, before moving off-air to work as Production Director until mid-2000.
