BillO decides to drop the radio schtick
By David Neiwert Friday Dec 05, 2008 2:00pm
BillO announces he needs to spend more time with his loofah:
Bill O'Reilly has formally confirmed he's giving up one of the most successful syndicated radio shows in the country, saying he has just run out of hours in the week.
O'Reilly said the radio show, which he launched in May 2002, will end "in the first quarter of next year." Most of the time he saves, he said, will go into his top-rated Fox News Channel show.
"The media business is getting more and more intense," O'Reilly said Thursday. "We've got to keep the TV show at the level we have it now, and that means more and more time to keep it competitive and fresh. I've been working 60, 65 hours a week and I just can't keep doing that."
Maybe he can ring up Andrea Mackris and talk over old times now.

Now if only we could get him to quit fogging up the television screen as well...
In front of the mirror would be about right.
Give up on the radio and TV would be my advice.
Wow, he "ran out of hours in the week?"
It must be really awesome when your work week is what, 10hrs tops, and pull millions a year.
He truly is the champion of the common man, he being an Irish with a father that worked and all... you know.
Because you know it's not going to be anyone liberal or progressive, or (god forbid) sane.
Best of shows should last a while. Most BillO-Holes won't even know he's gone, they'll keep calling in...
Indeed, there's plenty of competition on TV for shouting ignoramuses.
SEXUAL PREDATOR!

Fu*k it! We'll do it live without him!
Thank f-ing GOD!!!!
Now to free the airwaves completely. Maybe he could share a show with Glenn Beck. Then BLOW could quit, leaving his empire in Beck's capable hands. Then we could get rid of Beck.........
The Nielsen numbers are about to give Billo a lot more time to "spend with his family". It seems that his ratings are slipping into oblivion, and BO will be yet another righty who will be soon forgotten.
10. You can't see people walk off your set on radio
9. Stalking and ambushing people outside their homes is just more rude with video footage
8. He makes mouth noises
7. Rudy is going to do "this week in drag" on the TV show
6. Because he can pinhead!
5. The Buick dealership that was his sponsor folded
4. He was making Rush sound sane
3. Laura Ingraham is giving a pottery class in his slot
2. Traffic Jet Copter 1 crashed into his swimming pool, again
1. Because life is too short to feel like a human being!!
And the NUMBER ONE reason Bill-O is leaving radio: You can't show endless loops of Fort Lauderdale wet T-shirt contests while talking about the murder rate in Fort Lauderdale when you're on the RADIO.
sweet, my number 1 sucked but 8 through 4 ate up my material
Or better still, barely-teenage grade-school cheerleaders in revealing outfits, so he can say "Look at that! So revealing! So disgusting! Run it again!!"
Not even making that up.
like every other dog, he has seen his day.
Licking his own crotch?
drinking out of the toilet.
Great pic of Bill practicing his tough guy look in the mirror.
I bet Olbermanns constant mockery of BillO's slipping ratings is behind this.He wants to put all his energy into rectifying the situation.The ego must be appeased at all costs.Feed that greasy monster Bill.
billo's pretty rectal all right.
and what fucking prep did he ever do?
who the fuck cares....goodbye bill...now die and make the world a better place
"Hey pal, I'll stack my two Pulitzer Prizes up against Stewart Smalley's Senate seat ANYDAY!"
60-65 hours a week generating all of that egomanial, right-wing, fear-mongering and hateful bilge must indeed be quite exhausting. Being an ass-kissing, panegyric courtier for the failed political elites and captains of industry is demanding work. All of that balanced, ethical, critical thinking- pheww! Fuck you, you whiner.
I suspect the real reason he's doing this is because his TV show ratings are dropping, and he's dreading the day when Olbermann will on the air and crow about the fact that his ratings now surpass O'Reilly's. So, by dumping the radio show, he's hoping to force some of his regular radio audience to tune in to the TV show.
But there is a better solution if you ask me. He should just supplement his TV show with Glenn Beck, thus bringing over all 214 of Beck's viewers. They could even re-brand Beck as the token liberal, now that Colmes is leaving the fox nutwork.
What about Dr. Demento?
Vampires have no reflection in a mirror, you know.
That only came from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, along with the missing reflection. Both were culled from books on demonology, but not necessarily vampires.
Bram Stoker could never decide whether a vampire was the actual dead person returned, or a demon possessing a corpse, a'la Vikram and the Vampire. At one point, soon before they staked Lucy Westenra, her fiance asked Dr. Van Helsing if it were really Lucy or a demon in her shape. Van Helsing gave a non-committal answer.
The staking occurred in what whould've Lord Arthur Holmwood Godalming and Lucy Westenra's marriage night.
A minor sub-plot followed that always amused me. Arthur kept looking for comfort after the horror of Lucy's death, and then her staking, and the men who surrounded him, left him to his own suffering, or gave a kind of there-there attempt at sympathy. It was only after he met Mina Harker (nee Murray), a woman he knew through Lucy, but not personally, that he entirely broke down upon first meeting her. She practically comforts him like a baby. From that point on he and his best friend, the Texan Quincy Morris (who she gave some less emotional support), were sworn to the death to protect her, and for one of them they got their wish.
wtf are you talking about?
Don't ask me what I'm talking about, I rarely listen.
But I was responding to calgarylady saying vampires don't have reflections, equating billo with vampires, who in the picture illustrating this thread is shown holding a mirror.
Bram Stoker did a brilliant job adapting Eastern European legends to his story, but he made up a few details like the lack of reflection (although there are other mirror legends concerning vampires), turning into bats, and using lycanthropic lore as well. Those adaptions are now accepted as common lore.
...shoveling shit is hard work.
his show is brodcast from the same place right?
Chris Lavoie (Stephanie Miller's producer) pointed out that syndicated talk shows are customarily sold in three-hour blocks. You have to be superstar-successful to sell a show that only runs two hours.
And BillO ain't a superstar.

Bill'O the Clown had a radio show?
"...I've been working 60, 65 hours a week and I just can't keep doing that."
Sorry to hear you're so stressed, Bill.
Now, imagine if you were working the same 2 jobs and 60-65 hour weeks but couldn't afford healthcare for your family and wanted to send your kids to college, but you had to heat your house in the winter...do you think you'd give up the radio show then??
Not to worry.
Bill feels your pain but he'll have to give you one less place to vent it because he's tired.
Less appealing than vomit.
Horseshit. If you have a successful radio show, you don't give it up. He's on 400 stations, and has about 3 million listeners. That's an average of 7500 per station, which is not good. He gets his ass kicked by everyone in most markets, and has been dropped by a ton of stations. He gets picked up because the show throws a ton of money at the station, but a lot have turned him down because he's a drag.
Good Riddance.
"Hit me with your ugly schtick..."
