Howie Carr live thread. HC hinted there could be a death pool today if Merv passed on and sure enough, he did... but who knows if Howie will do one today. "Gee, all the lines are lit up...I wonder why?"
Howie may be off tomorrow or sometime soon due to jury duty and he also may burn off some vacation time. As things stand, still no word about lawsuits being settled...HC's last day with Entercom is due to be Sept 19 but who knows how accurate that will be (he may be heading to WTKK, but all still tech. up in the air). And the Herald says today he decided to leave because Entercom wanted to cut his pay by $50k/yr.
I went looking for Brooke Astor. Wikipedia already has August 13 entered...
Wow! that was quick. sounds like somebody had nothin to do today!

* Brooke Astor died between 2-3 pm so she is off the board.
What’s the count? I got some dead air holes.
Hah!, the local is playing the crew scanning the raw Chump Line messages.
and besides, he got dosed with nasty pesticides when he was in Nam.
I don't know if was actually agent Orange or not.
Boston boy, and BC grad, iirc.
You must be too young to remember.
I stand corrected. Thank You.
Pesticides, and defoliants. I thing Agent Orange was contaminated with PCBs.
I could have sworn he went to BC. I guess that leaves Notch Johnson as the only celeb BC grad in my vast store of useless information.
I think Chrissy Hinds gets $500K from Limbaugh each year (donates the "ill gotten" proceeds to something or another, and Paul Anka was getting $200K/year from The Tonight Show Theme
I was thinking KD Lang, myself, so I had to look it up.
Apparently, Artie's an overweight comedian who is or was a regular on Howard Stern's show.
Any way, the search put www.artielangedeathwatch.com at the top.
I guess he gets all the roles that would have gone to non-dead Chris Farley.
I guess I'm not in Artie's demographic.
Learn something new everyday.
OTOH, one caller did point out the educational aspects of Howie's "Death Pool"...
A classic tv moment.
Suzanne is brunette, and Bob's 2nd series wife was blond, so she may have asked "Who was the blond?"
This depresses me greatly. Gerry Callahan is my favorite personality next to Howie. He is a great conservative and hysterically funny! It looks as if Entercom is doing a purge of all conservatives.
Oh, well...there’s always Meter!!!
I mis heard Ed McMann, but I don’t know who Artie Lange is. He’s a Stern regular? Maybe Stutterin’ John will make the next Death Pool. I would have DQed Artie Lange. Never heard of him.
they have Talk of the Nation...also Fresh Air with Terry
Gross (which Laura Ingraham calls Stale Air with Terry
Gross Me Out)....political coverage; interviews on
All Things Considered/Morning Edition, etc.
As I said, the search pulled up "Artie Lange" with the death watch reference, and figured that's what the caller was talking about.
Stern's not my idea of mainstream entertainment. Maybe at a strip club for an occasional bachelor party.
