Duane Earl is a character appearing as a radio host in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
He is voiced by Danny McBride.
History[]
Background[]
Duane Earl is the host of the show Beyond Insemination on Blaine County Radio. He is also an animal husbandry expert.
Duane hates lawyers because of how badly his divorce from his wife is going, and recommends to one of his callers that he kills his wife instead of divorcing her.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
During his show, Duane mentions he was his middle school's soccer coach. This is likely a reference to the show Eastbound & Down where Danny McBride's character, the voice actor of Duane, has to become his middle school's PE Teacher.
Trivia[]
- He may be the GTA V equivalent to Richard Bastion, host of The Richard Bastion Show, a show on GTA IV's radio station, WKTT, as they both say "I ain't just a whistling dixie, because no one likes a whistler or a whistleblower!" It also seems that Blaine County Radio is the GTA V equivalent to WKTT, considering they're both right-wing talk-radio stations with hosts that mention the previously stated line.
- It is implied that Duane attacked Hannibal Buress, a comedian who works for FlyLo FM in-universe. During a Beyond Insemination episode Duane describes how he attacks a stranger (audio link), meanwhile Hannibal describes a very similar attack on FlyLo (audio link).
