Mickey Miscue: When actor Mickey Rooney heard Ken Minyard and Roger Barkley talking about him Monday morning on KABC Radio’s “Ken and Barkley” show, he decided to dial them up and join in the conversation. However, an ABC operator inadvertently plugged Rooney’s call into the “Mark and Brian” morning show on KLOS-FM, where those two morning deejays just thought the actor had called out of the blue to chitchat. The mistake wasn’t discovered until Rooney told them to say hello to their radio neighbor, Michael Jackson, who follows Ken and Roger in the KABC--not KLOS--morning lineup.
