A derogatory comment about Whitney Houston and crack use led KFI radio to suspend its popular talk show hosts John & Ken.

KFI announced the suspension Thursday, saying John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou would be back on the air Feb. 27.

When talking about reports of Houston's odd behavior before her death Saturday, they said: “It's like, ‘Ah Jesus . . . here comes the crack ho again, what’s she gonna do."

The duo talked about Houston's past drug problems, at one point saying she was "cracked out for 20 years," according to a recording on the website Urban Informer.

Meh, over-reaction to the comments... she was a drug addict, no need to beat people up for saying it on the air.

    coupla o.c. pinheads. What do they know. Take that little 1960s microphone from them and they're nobodies.

      Same could be said for Whitney. No microphone and she was nothing but a crack ho.

        Oh, yes. I'm sure if we checked your skeleton closet it would be clean as a whistle! Enjoying your seat of judgement, much?

          Whatever, keep making a golden cow to worship out of your idol Whitney... yeah she was talented, but without that talent you'd discard her the same way you do every other talentless crack ho... so don't even try to pull that @!$%# with me.

            Yeah, whatever. If Whitney had been one of your near two headed subhuman corny dudley do-right heroes, you'd be on here singing a different tune...

            Oh, Wait!

            YOU CAN'T SING!
