I like her better on radio.
It’s a busy busy schedule...I think the radio show suffered during the post-election run-up to the show because of all the talking and negotiating for Fox and for a potential White House communications director job with Trump. There were many ‘best of’ shows and guest hosts and those annoying situations where she would be late or leave early.
Her choices of guest host are questionable at best. Most of them sound like they’re under sedation or do the annoying filler trick of reciting the phone number over and over again. She dotes on Saint Raymond Arroyo as a sidekick but I call him ‘Handbrake’ because he slows the show down and when he is the exclusive host I can’t bear it.
‘Don in Iowa you wanted to say what?’
Ugh.
Three young kids at home, a new big house that needs renovation, a juicy contract and the obvious advantage of reaching an audience via an established TV station versus the drudgery of cobbling together affiliates. Her affiliate lineup is an absolute lottery with many (most?) of them only carrying a portion of the show and many more time-shifting it. I don’t know what the radio contract terms are but perhaps she may decide it’s too exhausting to do both even though Hannity manages it.
Her original show was positively acidic in its contempt for lefties - and I loved it, especially the skewering of the gasbag Obamas and ‘Mother Robinson.’ Unfortunately, someone must have told her to ease up on the mockery as a condition of her most recent contract (I believe she changed syndicators as well).
The other danger and most likely outcome (already happening) is that the radio show will simply become a promo vehicle for the TV show with sound from TV dominating the hour (also already happening).
