KEN MATTHEWS SHOW CANCELLED AFTER PROFANE LIVE MIC COMMENTS

Talk Media Networks has cut ties with host Ken Matthews after comments he thought were being made to his engineer went out live on the air.

On an apology broadcast and shared online, Matthews said that on his July 12th show, when he was told he was in a break his mic fed to the network and he made some vulgar comments reading Hunter Biden’s emails that he thought were being told only to his engineer unaware they went out over the air. Talk Media Network immediately cut ties with Matthews, but will continue to feed best-of programs to affiliates until August 12.

Matthews entered syndication last December as one of the many 12-3pm eastern shows attempting to gain some of Rush Limbaugh audience. He was previously an occasional fill-in host for Limbaugh and hosts afternoons at iHeartMedia’s 580 WHP Harrisburg PA. Matthews pivoted to talk in 2009 as a fill-in at WKXW Trenton before joining WHP as afternoon host in 2013. He was best known for his 15 year run in mornings at CHR “B104” WAEB-FM Allentown PA from 1991-2006 and has also worked at stations in Portland ME, Cincinnati, and Charleston SC in his career.

In a tweet explaining his exit, Matthews stated he will continue to provide content to right-wing social media platforms Gab, Rumble and TruthSocial.

I don’t remember vulgarities from the great comedians of my youth. Jack Benny, George Burns, Bob Hope. How did they make people laugh without using the f word? I guess they weren’t really funny after all?

I haven’t listened to this yet, but check here for clues...

He says, “I have tested positive for being unsyndicated...”

There are things in Hunters laptop that could get you jailed for child Prn-0-grphy just by seeing them on your computer.

Criminal to Jack Benny: “your money or your life!”

Silence

—- “”Bub I said your money or your life!”

——-

Benny: “I’m thinking it over!”

———.

Can Freepers explain how people thought that scene was funny, when Jack Benny didn’t even use the f word??

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

You’d have to be familiar with Jack Benny’s schtick. Most here are.

[1Old Pro]

How did they make people laugh without using the f word?

I'm wondering how millennial girls can't get thru an entire sentence without using the F word.

One old comic used to open his act with just four words:

“Take my wife.

Please.”

;-)

I never heard of Ken Matthews but just followed him on Truth Social to give him some support.

He was a periodic fill in for Rush and has a long radio career. I am more inclined to believe he was intently taken out, but a technical error is certainly possible.

[conservative98]

From where I know him...

He was a regular rotating host for The Rush Limbaugh Show, and hosted the last two episodes of the program, after Limbaugh’s passing.

Thanks, I know his Schlick. I was being sarcastic. No f words, so not funny by todays perverted standards

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

How about not being vulgar at all, then you don’t have to worry. Given that he was talking about Hunter’s actions, how could he be more profane than Hunter? Oh man...the hypocrisy.

[bobbo666]

And, anybody who buys this line has been chugging the koolaid.

Yeah, I know you were sarcastic.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Really funny one from Mexico:

A man was walking down the sidewalk with his wife “Vida” (means “Life” in English). A thug came up to him and said, “Tu dinero, o tu vida!” (Your money or you life!). Guy thought he was talking about his wife Vida as the alternative to giving him his money and responded, “Vida, vete con el senor.” (Vida, go with the man).

[rintintin]

That is funny. But definitely not pc

Indeed. This country needs to understand that his father, Demented Joe Biden, pulled strings to get his drug-addicted pervert son into the US military - over the age limit and wholly under qualified. He put that POS in a position that could have possibly affected or endangered the lives of our sons, daughters, granddaughters and grandsons.

I can only thank that person or persons in the US military that took the bullet and got that worthless drug addict ousted.

[Nextrush]

Talk radio as we have known it is being deliberately imploded IMHO.
