I’m old enough to recall his last TV show. I thought he did fine, but he did not and foreswore TV. It’s hard to imagine him doing it again. But I wish he would.
I think he forswore doing a regular show, with makeup and scripts and 4 hours of heavy prep time. But the short commercial idea is pretty good.
The networks put his show on in variable time slots, made it very hard to garner a following. His show was fine and memorable. I still see those women fireman candidates, in their bunkers trying to put up a ladder.
He went into great detail a week or so ago about why another TV venture will never happen. It wasn't so much the controversial nature of his show but all the time consuming background stuff that goes on before he sits in front of the camera.
When you think about it, Rush has to do a ton of reading and watching the various news outlets to gather the "stuff" for the next day's program even tho his staff helps him with that part of it. It's an enormous consumption of his time......
