Can't take him. Something about him just grates on me. Me too. I think he's queer.

[Precisian]

Who is this guy related to? How the heck did he get his job in the first place, and how does he keep it?

Is his grandfather named FOX?

Is his father-in-law Roger Ailes?

I agree with you that Shep's style is refreshing and a pleasant change of pace. I will admit he was slightly startling in the beginning; it took a little while before I realized just how much better he was than the blow-dry clones on the networks. He doesn't attempt to copy them and in the process has found a very agreeable style. Go Shep!

[Lucky]

A little touch of a smartalec, perhaps.

[veronica]

Yes. I like all the rest at Fox though. David Asman, David Schuster, the guy in the morning - the one with dark hair (not that goofy Steve Doocey guy) Brit of course, Tony Snow, etc.

[wku man]

Shepard doesn't sound hip, cool, and innovative by leaving out the verbs. He sounds like an idiot. He needs to go back to broadcasting school (I suggest Western Kentucky University, which has the top-rated television program in the nation...GO HILLTOPPERS!), and learn how to write like a professional, not a Gen-X pretty boy.

Brit Hume's show is the only one on FOX that I watch religiously. I do catch Shep's show occasionally, I like him until he starts going off on one of those 'pretty pony/space ghost' tangents of his. What FOX really has going for it is some top notch people like Carl Cameron, Jim Angle, Wendell Goler etc

PS I'm so glad that airhead Zahn is gone and O'Reilly is an arrogant bore.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Shep is eye candy...sigh. Is Shepard his real first name or a 'stage name.' I I don't know if he would be quite the same as 'Joe Smith.'

[doberville]

I'm with you and MB. SS is affected and annoying. AND arrogant. Cannot believe the false eyelashes under eyes. Notice some time.

[eddie willers]

I like him until he starts going off on one of those 'pretty pony/space ghost' tangents of his.

And that's the part I love.
I giggle like a schoolgirl when he says, "Thanks, Space Ghost".
Probably moreso because I haven't a clue as to what that means.

Come on....how often do you get to laugh during a very informative newscast?

[Inspectorette]

Brit Hume's show is the only one on FOX that I watch religiously.

We tape his show every day while we're at work. He stands head and shoulders above all of the others.

[fish70]

Probably because his eyes are too far apart. He definitely looks reptilian.

[plsvn]

I'm definitely in the minority here. I turn Shep off every night as fast as I can. I find him extremely annoying.

Mombonn, I'm with you.... Shep is just the unfortunate host on before O'Rielly comes on so I "have" to watch a bit of his show before O'Rielly.

[smith288]

I agree with you. His news is annoying.... I guess if i consider myself a Brit Hume fan then you all know why. he isnt exactly the most animated guy on TV. Your World With Neil Covuto is a plain waste of an hour to me as well. I like Neil but his show is pointless to me. Fox needs a Fox Finacial network and take THAT show with it.

[mombonn]

Your World With Neil Covuto is a plain waste of an hour to me as well.

Yup, on those rare occasions when I'm home during his show, I change channels as well.

Hey Darlin. I found this one posting. It was on a website about the RNC. I found another one. Unfortunately it was his mugshot. I don't think I'll post that one.
