It’s been a while since Larry Elder has been heard on local airwaves, with the self-described “Sage from South Central” being shown the door at KABC (790 AM) last December. But that didn’t stop him from being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He’s in rare company. Only a handful of political talk radio hosts have a star, including Ray Briem (1992), Dan Avey (2006) and Bill Handel (2009), according to The Hollywood Reporter. (Bill Cunningham, a radio pioneer who hosted “Meet the Boss” from 1944 to 1952, was awarded a star in 1960, although the Walk of Fame website incorrectly lists the recipient as the current conservative talk host with the same name, who was born in 1947.)

Elder was the recipient of the 2,548th star on April 27, or Larry Elder Day in Hollywood, according to Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President Leron Gubler. The star can be found near Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, across the street from the Pantages Theatre. On hand for the celebration were Jon Voight and Dean Cain.
