CNBC MCENROE HITS '0' RATING... 10 PM ET SLOT IN TOTAL COLLAPSE 0.0 RATING FOR NIELSEN, PULLS ONLY 37,000 HOUSEHOLDS NATIONWIDE... NBC NOW PAYING JOHN MCENROE $27 FOR EACH TV HOME WATCHING, BASED ON CLAIMED MILLION-DOLLAR YEARLY SALARY...
As to why McEnroe deserves this: His guests last night were Howard Dean and Al Franken.
(Note that the 0.0 rating was not for the Dean/Franken show. We'll have to wait a day or two for that number.)
40-Love.
I remember seeing McEnroe rubbing elbows with the impeached one during tennis events on TV.
It's sad that NBC is paying him so much for his stupid show.
It's also sad that it seems like every televised tennis event has one of the McEnroe brothers as an announcer - sometimes even both of them. It's time to fire the McEnroes and let America hear from other people who know tennis and aren't quite as obnoxious and full of themselves.
He'll argue with Neilsen for another "ruling".
Tatum gave that obnoxious ass a 0.0 also
Maybe he should just get all of his viewers together on a conference call.
Gary Coleman:
Right now you're down and out and feeling really crappy.
Nicky:
I'll say.
Gary Coleman:
And when I see how sad you are it sort of makes me happy.
Nicky:
Happy?!
Gary Coleman:
Sorry, Nicky, human nature-nothing I can do! It's Schadenfreude! Making me glad I'm not you...d'ja ever clap when a waitress falls and drops her glasses?
Nicky:
Yeah.
Gary Coleman:
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?
Nicky:
Sure!
Gary Coleman:
And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy watching people out in the rain?!
Nicky:
You bet!
Gary Coleman:
Taking pleasure in other's pain?
Nicky:
Oh, schadenfreude, huh? What's that, some kinda Nazi word?
Gary Coleman:
Yup, it's German for "happiness at the misfortune of others."
Gary Coleman:
"Happiness at the misfortune of others." That is German! Watching a vegetarian being told he just ate chicken.
Gary Coleman:
Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his d*** in!
Nicky:
Being on the elevator when somebody shouts: "Hold the door!"
Gary & Nicky:
(In unison.)
"No!!! Schadenfreude!
Gary Coleman:
"F*** you lady, that's what stairs are for!"
Nicky:
Ooh, how about...Straight-A students getting Bs?
Gary Coleman:
Exes getting STDS!
Nicky:
Waking doormen from their naps!
Gary Coleman:
Watching Tourists reading maps!
Nicky:
Football players getting tackled!
CEOS getting shackled!
Gary Coleman:
Watching actors never reach-
Gary Coleman:
The ending of their "Oscar's" speech! Schadenfreude. " "(3x)
Nicky:
Sure! We provide a vital service to society.
Gary Coleman and Nicky:
(Together.)
You and me schadenfreude! Making the world a better place...To be!
Gary Coleman:
S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E!
INVOLVING A FORMER "DIFFERENT STROKES" STAR!
Get moving!
McEnroe has a show? Is it about tennis?
I mean, he did interview Andy Roddick, but much of the time was spent putting his studio audience into a state of unconscious similar in nature to that of the characters in Sleepers.
Hmmmm...now I can link Kevin Bacon to John McEnroe. Interesting....
(Makes "be quiet" motion with hands.)
Shhhhhhhhhhhusssssssssshhhhhhh!!!!!!
Thank you, sir. May I have another?
I think that "NYC GOP Chick" would be interested in this conversation.
Too bad she's probably asleep at this time.
Then again, she might be awake.
A TWO-HOUR WAIT FOR TRAFFIC CROSSING THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE!
Be thankful that you live in Wisconsin.
All three of us!
ROAD TRIP!
I'm not joking when I say I didn't even know McEnroe has a show on any network.
Someone call Stiffler.
