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 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States.^[1] Douglas, who performs Mercer's voice,^[1] uses the character as a vehicle for comedy sketches in which he performs prank telephone calls.

The Roy D. Mercer character is a middle-aged redneck who claims that the prank victim broke an item or created a problem. He says that he's coming down to "pick up a check", typically for about $200, to get some satisfaction. When rebuffed, he then tries to schedule a time and place for a fistfight. Mercer has a fictional wife, Sharon Gene, who he proposes to pit against the female callers.

Originally, the prank call sketches were a part of KMOD's morning show; by 1997, Capitol Records began issuing the sketches on compact disc.^[2] As of 2007, sixteen Roy D. Mercer compilations have been released on the Capitol and Virgin Records labels.
