Actually he's said that he wouldn't, in the past.


Or did he say he would on todays show? I didnt catch it.

Between Palin and Obama, DePace said he would go for Palin.

Which shouldn't be terribly surprising, how many people do you know that don't automatically vote within party lines?

That's just the nature of the game in terms of premiering a new program.

Plus CNN doesn't exactly have a great track record for ratings.

Did anyone catch the awesome Schuli interview with ETM? Eric has decided he's a movie reviewer so he thinks he should get movies for free.

On a YouTube video he was asking people to give him Fandango and movie passes so he could review movies.

He's a shifty little fucker.

Am I the only one who agrees with Howard that the Artie chair should stay empty to keep Artie's mental health?

He'd be upset if th the replacement is better (and people are going "gently caress Artie, this person rocks more"), worse ("gently caress Artie, he ruined it by trying to kill himself)
or if he returns ("LOL Artie bought any knives lately?" call would be inevitable)

Affectively there's no win here, whatever action Howard takes, Artie suffers so he's just going to let it stay empty in tribute (To say he's irreplaceable)

You are absolutely right, and I feel like this is the ultimate answer to anything regarding Artie's position with the show.

Howard is apparently doing several late night shows in the next few weeks. Anyone think this is contractually obligated?

Probably.

He has Letterman, Fallon, Stewart and I guess a satellite segment with Kimmel? I thought I heard he may do Conan since Beth needed to hit LA for whatever reason.

I don't see how anyone can listen to a show called "wacky name" AND "normal name". That's like radio bullshit 101. The thing I hate most about radio. It's a step up from Tradio, but not a very big one to be the wacky morning guys with one guy with a funny name and a hot chick doing the traffic!

Opie and Anthony is pretty good when they have a swarm of comedians sitting in. But in reality, the two shows are very different and it doesn't make sense to compare the two.

Yes! What was THAT all about? I kind of laughed when he said it, I was thinking he was joking. But uh, maybe he wasn't?

Edit: and I don't mean he created some, but that he maybe misunderstands what they are and thinks filming something on the BlackBerry is creating a viral video.

He had to be joking, there is no way Howard made four or five videos that 'went viral' and we just now barely hear about it.

Ugh, it seems like 50% of the show today, and lately, has been Howard whining about his troubles with technology. (cable, world wide web, android phones)

This poo poo needs relegated to Geek Time or some Technobeaver show on 101. It's like talking to my parents about computers... it just stinks.

Last year he probably spent a week discussing the Blackberry Bold.

I hate how they still use Pamela Anderson as the idea of a hot chick.

I didn't think that Pamela Anderson was all that hot when she was "Hot." Now she's older and has Hep-C.

Pamela Anderson was the hottest woman in Hollywood in the mid-nineties, although it is odd how Howard still puts her on that pedestal.

So why is she losing her hair anyways? Is it more common than I think? Or could it be due to her terrible diet?

Okay this has been bothering me for a while now. When they post pictures of guests in the studio, why the hell is John Hein always standing in the background? Is this a running gag by the staff? I know he has to be in there to do announce what they'll be discussing on the wrap-up show, which in my opinion is pointless (I loved it when Artie made fun of it by imitating John Hein), but can't he get out of the way?

I'm glad you brought this up. I don't know the answer to your question, but why the gently caress does John Hein need to be in the studio during the breaks?

How often do you guys think that hecklers try to get on the air? I've only been listening since '06, and I can't really remember anyone successfully getting on (aside from maybe that one guy referring to Beth as Dierdre).

I'm just curious, considering how much poo poo everyone talks about the show here (and even moreso on SFN).

To give you an idea, Howard went through like 4 or 5 callers in a row that had already won money in a game.

The same idiots call in and sit on hold all day. Plus there is a guy that gets on so much it blows my mind, and he has nothing noteworthy to say. He calls the Wrap Up show as well.

Man, you people are difficult to impress. It's not like I'm in side-splitting laughter the entire time I'm listening to the show, but it definitely makes me smile and brings my mood up every time I get in the car. I am super grateful he extended the contract another 5 years, because I was sorta/kinda getting into panic mode thinking about having no Howard in the morning.

Also, I don't have any issues with Jon Hein at all. Benjy is the one that gives me douche chills like nothing else on this goddamned Earth.

The bitching seems more apparent because when Artie was in studio they would routinely go off into hilarious tangents. Artie Lange was a lovely comedian, but he perfect for his job in studio and to say the show hasn't taken a direct hit since his departure isn't honest.

Well, when Artie was on the show a poo poo load of people would just focus their complaints on him. Being a junkie that earns a lot of money makes him an easy target. He was Charlie Sheen before Charlie Sheen.

Edit: poo poo, I forgot about all the hookers Sheen used to get busted with. Man, this guy is a loving nut.

Yeah I bitched about Artie and his constant lying. Ultimately I'm glad he's getting help, as he was long overdue for it.
