I can't blame the dude, out there are millions of people who think he is funny and cool. His radio audience mainly just torments him.

My mom is one of the now-stereotypical older ladies who in a million years would never have listened to his show (in fact, she never listened but would have no trouble declaring her dislike for him based on his reputation) who now loves him from that dumb show.

So basically, yeah, if I was him I would ride that for all it was worth.

So Howard has decided to 'punish' the audience by not discussing AGT. It's lame and passive aggressive. However, callers are getting through and they immediately ask about AGT and he cuts them off. That's actually pretty funny.

It's the end of the first hour on replay and he just had a fairly in depth conversation with a caller on AGT and is now playing clips of some talk show discussing AGT.

His twitter is amazing, because a) he's having the exact same arguments on it he was having in November and b) he is psychologically incapable of letting poo poo slide. It doesn't matter how ridiculous an assertion you make, he'll feel the need to address it. He responded to (and blocked) my brother for asking, "Is it true your father was a hermit crab?"

Saw this on Reddit:

I guess the turnout was really bad there in New Orleans. They cancelled the 3rd show and had to bus in high school students to fill the arena and it was still only like 40% filled. Some guy over on Dawgs was there and documented it. He said they kept trying to re-shoot in exterior shots from different angles to make the crowd look bigger and finally gave up.

I didn't get to listen to the whole segment. Did he really sound desperate? Sirius really dicked him over. Back when he had the afternoon drive slot on H101, he was the 2nd most listened to show on Sirius, but they paid him poorly. I don't blame him for wanting to leave. I figured he must be making decent money with the syndication stuff he has going on in Florida markets. I guess all these lawsuits and divorce stuff have drained him financially.

The RadioIO thing was hilarious though. He bought into that hook, line, and sinker. He hoped he'd get the same numbers he got from Sirius. I think someone figured out that the online streaming stuff got like a few hundred listeners at best.

I don't have documentary proof, but I strongly suspect it was Howard that hosed him over -- the budget for both his channels is controlled by him.

Same way he hosed over Billy West and Jackie. :smith:

"I'm not your boss!!!"


Five minutes later: "Here's how I want things to be run!!!"

Usually whenever the topic is money, Howard suddenly has zero control over anything. But, when it comes to who can use the bathroom he's like Stalin.

At the end of the Bubba segment, the desperation was in full effect. Outright asked Howard to put in a good word for him. Talked about how much he wanted to come back and how he had some meetings later with people at Sirius.

That was a fantastic article, except for these two depressing paragraphs:

quote:

While Mr. Gottfried was reluctant to participate in “Celebrity Wife Swap” (on which he and Ms. Gottfried trade partners with Alan Thicke and his wife, Tanya Callau) he conceded that reality TV has become a necessary evil for maintaining a showbiz career.

“To the public,” Mr. Gottfried said, “Kim Kardashian is a much bigger name than Robert De Niro.”
