I didn't watch this, since I find The Young Turks unbearable to listen to.

Did they include the information that the sweater was a joke? I can't find the clip now, but she made one talking about how the sweater was a joke between co-workers, that they do stuff all the time to rib each other.

When I first saw the clip, I had a similar reaction -- a cocktail dress for a morning show? Like wearing a formal gown to a sock hop. Weird.

But no reason to lose one's shit and send emails. Jeesh.

This isn't what I saw a couple of days ago, but it shows the support and disgust of her co-workers.

This, my friends, is the downside to the internet. Instantaneous outrage has an outlet. Tempest in a teacup. Hell. Tempest in a teaspoon.

*wtf

KTLA's Morning Show was pretty funny when I used to watch it early in the mornings. Maybe there is a compilation of them too.

Warning: alternative point of view ahead..

I feel kind of bad for her. There was a point in time where it looked like she was shopping around for a spot as a morning show host where politics was not on the agenda. Honestly I thought she was quite pleasant and it seemed like a perfect fit. But in the end for some reason she still found a niche on fox as a contributor.

I still think if you take the politics out of her, you'd get a much nicer result. Then again, it's probably the case with every human being.

It appears to be a response to the mention of the Holy Ghost (which, perhaps, he believes needn't be mentioned on a morning show).

Jonna Spilbor (@3:36) used to appear on one of the local radio stations back home, giving free legal advice to callers but also participating in the usual morning show banter. Sometimes I agreed with her, sometimes I didn't, but she always had a solid argument on whatever she was talking about.

Which is why I'm surprised to hear her say a woman can be jailed in NY for going topless alongside men. In 1992, the NYS supreme court determined that women are allowed to go topless anywhere men are, otherwise it's discrimination.

Yeah, it's this absolutely fucked thing that conservatives do... they say 'No, I have no issues with gays, or muslims, or evolution or whatever' only because they know that it's regarded as homophobic, racists or anti-logic. They DO have issues, they DO have issues with them, but the pussy foot around actually saying it, and just legislate against such things.

Well, that's what some of them do.

What other people do is they really DON'T have any issue with those things but vote against them due to fear of losing the ultra-conservative vote.

There was a time, way back, when Hockey and Rudd (before he was prime minister) used to face off against each other on a morning show each week... and I didn' t mind him then, he seemed ok.

But the more I hear him, the more I see he really is a conservative dick who thinks the rich should keep their money, the gays should be out of sight, and anyone who is poor is such due to their own fault.

Don't like him

"I might even really be drunk!"

Awesome, especially the awkward pause after. This comment encapsulates why he's so funny (and simultaneously controversial) to Americans. Mentioning getting drunk - something every grownup has done, sometimes without even being an alcoholic (wow!) - is considered off-limits on mainstream U.S. TV. And he does it anyway, right at the end of the interview when a morning show guest is supposed to be the least controversial. Viva Gervais...

I got tired of marc maron years ago, listening to his air america morning show.

>> ^spoco2:

Oh man, I've been listening to WTF a fair bit lately, but yeah, Marc definitely has that 'think how everything relates back to me and how the world observes me.
If I hear him say how he was the doorman at the damn comedy club one more time to a guest. WE GET IT, you've been around for a long time. You're not super famous, get the FUCK over it.
It's the perfect recipe for self loathing and misery... always thinking about yourself rather than others. It's very much what Stephen Fry says in regards to the 'I Mode'... listen to others, be interested in others. Get out of YOUR HEAD and focus on doing things and making yourself and others happy by not whinging about what is wrong, but celebrating what is right.
>> ^rottenseed:
BTW, I started getting annoyed with Marc Maron. He comes off as a self-important sycophant to me. I think it's because he hates himself so much...>> ^kymbos:
I'm a bit sad to say I'm slowly falling out of love with Louis and Marc Maron. I'm not sure what to do about it.
Dave Chappelle, please start a twice weekly podcast, I'm begging you!

Jesus I hate morning shows and the douchebags that host them.

Before writing this, I did consult a diary I kept at the time. The diary had to do with my first year of teaching.

That morning I was driving to an elementary school to teach students who qualified as “Talented in Art.” I was tuned into a radio morning show – the kind that tends to be obnoxious and silly. However, the tone was very different that day. It took me a couple of minutes to register what I was hearing while navigating I-10. I switched to another station that usually is more serious. The first tower had been hit.

Once at school, I went right into teaching my scheduled group of kids. Afterwards, I was in the hall when a teacher told me the news about The Pentagon. Right after that the principal passed by and instructed us to not say anything to students. In the school library, teachers were glued to a television. The rest of the day they checked in to update themselves.

During the end of school announcements, we were informed that the school system would be closed the next day.

hah. I remember watching that morning show

::nineties early morning cartoon flashback::

The nerd and all of that type of nerdiness was stupid (mostly the on air--"Must Be A Morning Show™"--flirting). The rest was OK. Old news, but OK.

.. my god! I'm gaaay!

(apparently some of them think it's gay?!?)
Oddly enough, I've only ever heard women claim this is gay. The DJs on the morning show were talking about Ron Jeremy one morning and how he became famous for being able to suck himself off and Kricket, the lone female DJ and a very liberal hippy, proclaimed that to be gay. The female guest, a local attorney whose name escapes me, agreed. Female listeners proceeded to call in and back her up on that claim.
Now, whether or not it's weird or gross to blow yourself is a matter of opinion, but I declare it a matter of fact that it's not gay unless you've got some other guy's dick in your mouth. If sucking your own stump is gay then so is jerkin it.

Listening to the morning show now. Wow, offers from MTV, CBS, full-time job with the Cavaliers, a free house, a voice agent, gets to reconnect with his mom. The internet is the new lottery.
