- Broadcaster Gary Davies stepped in to host the morning after Mills was taken off air, greeting listeners with "How are ya, it's Gary with you for the next three hours."

- Mills unknowingly hosted his final show on Tuesday, March 24, welcoming guests Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton into the studio before being taken off air.
