I don't really know what two comedy writers will add to the show.

Is Opie going to do a monologue at the start of the show, or have a list a pre-prepared funny quips about the stories in the news? Maybe they're just going to feed him lines like Sam does to Bobo when he's in.

I remember one time when Bobo was in and Sam was doing exactly that until Bobo just starts going off on his own, "wow you can really tell the difference"

Might have been this, I can't listen right now

I suppose at the very least, the Stangels might at least provide some connections to get some new faces into the studio instead of the same old comedians.

agreed ->
Stern was legitimately funny (to me) when Jackie was handing him jokes the whole show, but Howard can read and deliver a joke properly. Opie with writers ain't gonna fix his comedic problems.

I think they are going to add some new characters to the show. How about a young sports-guy who's "totally out of control", "outrageous", a real "party-animal" with a "skewed outlook on life" to relate to the younger demographic.
I mean this is the 90-ties.

I don't understand why anthony can't rent time at a pre existing nyc studio, that has to exist right? Why front all th equipment costs?

Of its because Keith is playing with his rich friends money and doesn't know what he's doing isn't it?

Apparently the much vaunted NYC studio that was to usher in a new era of star guests and less race talk has fallen through.

They are only there to write jokes for Chip.

Seriously though, Opie mocked the folks on Twitter who have suggested they are there as writers. They are supposedly there as producers of some kind and have already been there for a while.

Are the Stangels going to be in studio full-time? It was interesting to hear a couple of different voices/perspectives other than Opie, Jim and Sam today

If having the Stangels there means Sam gets less air time during O&J, I'm all for it.

Boo. Norton characters are the #1 best thing on O&J. Hell, going back to the anti-Sam comment, he's at least not loving Opie. Sam is better at talk than the namesake of the poo poo show.

Sam seems to do a better job of interacting with Jim and his characters. The only reason I still listen.

It's about 50/50 with me these days whether I will laugh at a Norton character or just want to punch him. But I know the fucker knows what he's doing when he completely wrecks the flow, so I don't mind it. Opie, on the other hand, I'm not sure he's even trainable at this point. Remembering about the instant feedback reminded me that he's been slamming on the brakes for nothing for decades now. Even Sam has a better loving sense for that, even though he fucks it up by taking annoying lovely callers.

I'm shocked it didn't happen sooner. Bill's name was probably on the lease and Di probably has a steady steam of shady traffic going through that place at all hours.
