Roy D. Mercer
Portrayed by Brent Douglas

Roy D. Mercer is a fictional character created by disc jockeys Brent Douglas and Phil Stone on radio station KMOD-FM in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States.[1] Douglas, who performs Mercer's voice, uses the character as a vehicle for comedy sketches in which he performs prank calls. In most of these sketches, Mercer will demand that the recipient of a call pay him money for some incident, and if the recipient refuses, he will threaten them with violence (usually an "[good ol' country] ass-whoopin'"). If the recipient is a woman, Mercer will typically threaten to send his wife to do the ass-whoopin' instead.

Originally, the prank call sketches were a part of KMOD's morning show. By 1997, Capitol Records Nashville began issuing the sketches on compact disc.[2] Sixteen Roy D. Mercer compilations have been released on the Capitol and Virgin Records labels.
