Billy Boy thought it was pretty funny, too.
A food show?

Wonder if Grant's health is ok?
Grant spoke out against the involuntary demographic transformation of this country through massive third-world immigration for many years. He and others who have labored in the trenches for so long deserve credit for finally getting
immigration control on the national agenda.
I recently stumbled across his show.
I really enjoy it.
He's funny and he tells the truth.
It's sick out there and getting sicker.
If Rocco runs his show the way he ran his restaurant it won't last long. I was a great fan of the reality show based on his self-propelled crack-up. It was fascinating to watch this totally self-created and well deserved disaster in the making.
IMHO, WABC fired Bob Grant not because of what he said about Brown, but to make room for the young hipster, Sean Hannity. WABC just couldn't go to Grant and say, "You're fired because we want a younger guy," because that would have run afoul of Federal and State anti-descrimination laws. For those who never heard Bob Grant, he was a pioneer not only for conservative talk radio, but for all talk radio.
Anything funnier than a food show in drive time!!!!!
Guess they just couldn't put up with the conservative point of view any longer.
Bob Grant was the first talk show host to speak the truth about liberals.
Sad to see. I'll have to record the last week for posterity!
I always liked how most of his callers consistently called him 'Mr. Grant.' :-) That's RESPECT!
Replacing him with a food show like this sounds like the ultimate low-budget move on the part of WOR, though. Is Jay Diamond (one of the most talented radio personalities I've ever heard on the air) lurking in the wings here?
He's a racist old bastard. I won't miss him one bit.
I guess we're stuck with Hannity... :^)
Bob Grant's show is one of the few shows that actually has entertaining regular callers. "Jimmy from Brooklyn" (the rabid anti-communist) and "Eugene from Albany" (the raving Jew-hater) are among my faves.
:^D
Bob Grant came to be like that crusty old great-uncle who spoke his mind freely, and got dirty looks every now and then at a family reunion... but everyone did like because they at least knew where they stood.
...except he's also a professional and knows what could get you canned.
But Grant was not a racist, and anyone who listened to him knew that. Liberals know angry, free-speaking, old men don't have to be racists to say the things that a young man would have to be a racist to say... certain words mean things now that they didn't necessarily mean in 1940. And when Grant was angrily chewing some idiot out, they literally can't believe he never says things which they can use to call him a racist, but he doesn't.
That Grant is such a pioneer is not merely because of what he was first at. He was "unprofessional" in the sense that he was didn't talk like a Roger Mudd or Peter Jennings; he talked like a guy sitting on a front porch on a hot day

I have dreaded this announcement for years. He is such a great alternative to Hannity. And funny. Sometimes I'd have to stop the car because I'd be laughing so hard. Calling some blowhard caller "you pusillanimous pipsqueak!"
This man is completely responsible for my turn to conservatism after his accurate prediction of Barbra Streisand's personal tax loophole right after slickness told us he couldn't deliver the middle class tax cut.
Bummer. First Arnold Diaz and his terrific "Shame on You" reports (and great theme song) get the heave-ho on Channel 2, and now this. I guess WOR figures they have their "conservative" content with Michael Savage (barf.)
SOME CLASSICS :
"Somebody's got to say these things -- IT MIGHT AS WELL BE ME."
"This is Bob Grant, reminding you --- Your influence counts, USE IT !!"
What are we going to do without such traditional callers as :
VINTAGE FRANK OF QUEENS ( who Bob gives at least 3 to 4 minutes to give his talking columns)
HAKIM ( AKA SETH ) --- A lefty wacko who Bob Grant likes to make fun of and who always prefixes the name of dictators with ( for example) -- THE HONORABLE Saddam Hussein.
DAVID OF NEWARK ( Conservative Black caller who always tells us that Al Shaprton and Jesse Jcakson don't speak for guys like him )
JOHN FROM STATEN ISLAND ( Caller who never tires of showing and documenting liberal hypocrisy )
JIMMY FROM BROOKLYN ( Always paranoid about Communists and who insists (With adequate documentation ) that their movement is alive and well and taking on another form )
CARL OF OYSTER BAY ( who eventually became columnist at Newsmax, who inadevertedly got Bob in trouble with his Ron Brown related call )
KIKI Of NEW JERSEY (Gay Caller who calls Bob because he needs a father confessor figure to talk to ).
MARTY ( also celebrated regular caller to Sean Hannity, whom Bob Salutes as a patriot for his service in World War II. How does he talk and play the piano at the same time ?).
THE KOOK FROM SYRACUSE (Who keeps harping to this day and everytime he calls how Pat Buchanan should have been President ).
YEHUDITH ( Jewish lady who usually calls to criticize Hillary, and who gave her the monicker -- THE WICKED WITCH OF WESTCHESTER )
THESE ORDINARY PEOPLE MY FRIENDS, ARE WHAT MAKES BOB GRANT SHOW SO SPECIAL. HE MAKES THEM STARS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BOB GRANT.
"LETS BE HEARD !!!!"
We had Bob Grant in the SF bay area for a short period about 15 years ago, then the station wanted to switch their format to local talk show hosts. Now it has evolved to Rush and Dr Laura.
