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.

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."

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

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

This post has been corrected. See note below.

When talking about her drug problems and death, they said: "Really, it took this long?"

"John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou have been suspended for making insensitive and inappropriate comments about the late Whitney Houston," KFI said in a statement on its website. "Management does not condone, support or tolerate statements of this kind."

In the statement, Kobylt said, "We made a mistake, and we accept the station’s decision. We used language that was inappropriate, and we sincerely apologize to our listeners and to the family of Ms. Houston.”

Officials are still trying to determine how Houston died.
