He’s back, bro.

Joe Benigno returned to WFAN on Monday morning nearly two months after taking a leave of absence following his being implicated in a sexual harassment lawsuit.

“Joe and Evan” were reunited in a largely celebratory manner, Benigno thanking everyone for supporting him during his time of “self-searching.” He declined to talk about the lawsuit in which Lauren Lockwood, a former CBS Radio ad executive, accuses him of propositioning her with threesomes, as well as carrying on an affair with a female subordinate. WFAN launched an investigation into the claims.

“It’s been a long two months,” Evan Roberts opened.

“Bro, how are you, man?” went Benigno’s predictable first words. “I’m thrilled to be back. Back with you guys, everybody here. … Couldn’t have been nicer to me, people I haven’t heard from in years. The outpouring of support has been off the charts.

“It hasn’t been an easy time for me at all. I can’t comment on any of this, the lawsuit, or any of that.”

The 64-year-old thanked his agent, executives from Entercom, WFAN’s parent company, station VP Mark Chernoff and his wife.

“My wife, who’s been behind me all the way. Terry, I love you,” he said. “The legal team that I dealt with. It’s been unbelievable.

“I’ve learned a lot about myself. A lot of self-searching. Thinking about all the things that have gone down here. One of the things I’ve learned the most is how lucky I am to be here.”

And just like that, he was talking Sam Darnold again.
