John Bell is a radio personality from Jersey City, New Jersey. He is widely known for his contributions as one of the original staff members on WHTZ and Elvis Duran and the Morning Show (formerly known as "The Morning Zoo"). John started his career with Z100 in 1983. He was known by Z100 staff and listeners as the, "Voice of Reason". He was also the last original member of the Z100 staff until his unexpected resignation in March 2010.

On March 18, 2010, John Bell's contract with Z100 was terminated due to what he was told was a "budget cut". According to The Examiner, John stated that he never planned on leaving the radio station. He also stated that the station wanted people to think he had "voluntarily retired or left the station on his own to pursue other interests" in order to prevent an uproar from fans of him and the show."[1]
