I will be curious to hear what the new host does with the show.

[Steely Tom]

I thought he did the farewell show of Prairie Home Companion about 15 years ago.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The biggest news to come out of this story for me is that The Prairie Home Companion is still on the air.

[taildragger]

Perfect, Castro’s workers paradise is now open, let him retire in Cuba...

[Vendome]

To “Lake Oh, be Gone”?

[Fido969]

" I mean, nobody retires anymore. Writers never retire. But this is my last season. This tour this summer is the farewell tour."

Yeah, I can imagine him saying it just like that.

[Trillian]

The only time I have ever heard his name was when they made fun of him on The Simpsons. The show’s creator is a big fan and I don’t think he liked that..

[NorthMountain]

The world would be better off if that smarmy POS would retire to a mountain top, above the treeline, and try to live off his survival skills.

Good! Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!

Many years ago, I used to listen to Prairie Home Companion on the car radio while commuting. In the early days, it was mostly pretty funny and well done, and no more liberal than everything else on the radio.

But after the early years, it started getting less and less amusing and more and more political, and eventually I dropped it. Too bad. He has real talent, but he’s a political nutball, unfortunately.

[buckalfa]

I like listening to the old fart liberal. The vignettes on the radio show remind of the old America. You know, kind of like looking at a display of Norman Rockwell paintings. The PHC will probably live on in NPR syndication like Click and Clack. Shoot, I even would love to see NBC bring back their radio network and redo Monitor on the weekends. I guess it is the formats I like, not the political slant, Then again, maybe I need my meds readjusted.

[Fred Hayek]

I know someone who worked on his stage crew. He describe Kiellor as an arrogant boor, and he got even worse after his stay in NYC. A very nasty character, especially towards anyone he disagreed with in the slightest way. He had some sketches where he describes Minnesotans as having a junior high mentality. Quite accurate, and Keillor fits the description as well.

Keillor was also known to be a groper.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Good riddance to the old Commie and anti-Semite.

[Arthur McGowan]

Keillor eulogized Harry Blackmun at a memorial service at a Methodist church across Nebraska Avenue from American University. Such a hero Blackmun was!

Garrison Keillor. PTOOEY!

[Rastus]

That means me lifelong goal of never listening to a single episode of PHC is almost complete! Now if I can continue to never see a Woody Allen movie, I’ll be batting 1.000.

[dead]

Next thing you know, McLean Stevenson will retire.

[trisham]

I like the show, and I don’t like that type of music, but the music on his show is very, very good. I also think that it’s a funny show.

At 72, I can imagine that he might be looking to try something new, though.

[RJS1950]

This will be sad news to the dozen or so little old ladies and stoned old hippies who still listen to his drivel.

He was a pimple on the ass of time from the start; he just didn’t know or understand his level of insignificance.
