Last night, WBZ-TV hosted the annual Boston Pops 4th of July Concert in Boston. Whether through sheer stupidity or through dislike of country, they chose as host a amazing doofus who had recently become a US citizen. His comments to the audience were astonishing:
"I'm an American citizen now so if you give me any crap, I can shoot you back."
"So here again is the good-looking and good-smelling Keith Lockhart."
There were more but I did not write them down.
WTF is wrong with one of the country's biggest TV stations (part of CBS, BTW) that they would chose such a host for the 4th? I have written to WBZ and have not yet received a reply.
What was this guy’s name? I remember seeing Jack Williams.....I know you’re not referring to him.....who is this idiot you speak of?
Agreed, that guy was a doofus. Mom and I watched both the Boston Pops and the other one in Washington, DC with preference to the latter because she didn’t care for the Boston Pops this year and wonders, “where did they get that guy to host it?” His name is Ferguson, can’t remember his first name but he comes on after David Letterman on weeknights.
I opted out of the “multimedia spectacles” and chose instead to go to a smaller local fireworks display.
No music, no lasers, no ‘hosts’ - just fireworks.
Gives one time to think and contemplate the meaning of the 4th.
Ferguson is a self-professed comedian, been hearing him on the radio of late. He claims he doesn’t do comedy, instead he just speaks the “truth.”
Odd character.
I just remembered another one: “That was so good I think I wet myself.” Real class.
Craig Ferguson is hilarious.
Was it Craig Fergusen? He’s HILARIOUS. Very Pro-American, too.
