Larry Wachs is an American radio host. He is a member of Rock 100.5 in Atlanta's morning show "The Regular Guys" along with Eric Von Haessler. The show originated on 96 Rock before the show was cancelled due to a lawsuit. Before Atlanta, Wachs' career included stints as a Top 40 disc jockey at WBLI in Long Island (under the pseudonym "Larry Addams"), WBSB (B104) in his hometown of Baltimore, WEGX (Eagle 106) in Philadelphia (as "Fast Larry Wax"), WPXY in Rochester, and WTIC-FM in Hartford, and as a talk show host at KLSX in Los Angeles. He was teamed at times with Eric Von Haessler since Wachs' time in Rochester. From early 2004 to early 2005, Wachs and Von Haessler were off the air due to controversy, and another controversy in October 2006 forced the duo off the air yet again.
In March 2007, the criminal case against Wachs in the Yogi and Panda controversy that forced the show off the air in October, 2006 was dismissed by the Fulton County DA for having no merit. Consequently, Clear Channel agreed to settle Wachs' breach of contract claims against them in an agreement under which terms were not disclosed.
During January 2–12 and April 16–20, 2007, Larry Wachs guest hosted "The House of Wachs" radio show on 92.3 Free-FM WFNY-FM NYC in the 9pm - 12am timeslot. Wachs returned as substitute host on May 9 and May 11, 2007 and May 11–23, 2007, at 9am–12pm Monday to Friday, the very timeslot vacated by the "indefinite" suspension of radio personalities JV and Elvis. Wachs continued in this timeslot until the station's format change (back to the former K-Rock music format) on May 24, 2007.
Larry was the writer and host of "What's Your Story?", a short news commentary series appearing on Super Deluxe. That ran from September of 2007 until the demise of Super Deluxe in March of 2008.
Larry is currently at the helm of the reconstituted "The Regular Guys" Show which re-started on WNNX, a Cumulus Media station in Atlanta, in January 2008.
