Hannity is a good guy with limited intellect. A great work ethic keeps him alive in the business. Certainly not his genius.
Nice job - perfectly capsulized in seven words!
He was a local radio host when Fox fired him. He and Alan Colmes had a show together that was actually pretty good. When Colmes left, they didn’t replace him.
Hannity had the luxury of following Rush on Rush’s flagship station. So he got to fill in for Rush on occasion, and someone decided he could make money in national syndication. Really, all he did was regurgitate Rush’s themes, but not as well.
Then he would take the most “interesting” things form his radio program and replicate them on TV.
It sopped working years ago.
