Gregg Hughes (born May 23, 1963) better known by his air name Opie, is an American radio personality and podcast host. He is best known as the former co-host of the Opie and Anthony radio show that aired from 1995 until 2014 with Anthony Cumia, as well as comedian Jim Norton beginning in 2001. Following Cumia's firing from SiriusXM in July 2014, Hughes and Norton stayed on as co-hosts of Opie with Jim Norton. In October 2016, Hughes began hosting his own program, The Opie Radio Show, which continued until his termination on July 7, 2017, after he installed a toilet camera to film a fellow employee in the men's restroom without consent.
On May 8, 2018, Hughes launched his new podcast, The Opie Radio Podcast on the Westwood One network. Due to low listenership, in June 2019, Westwood One terminated the relationship. The podcast would continue afterwards without sponsorship.
